A few months ago, I told you about the SWIFT Merit data plan which is a new promo plan from SWIFT. True to my word, I gave it a spin but before I share my experience with you, I would like to let you know that this isn\u2019t a sponsored post; neither do I get a referral commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little Intro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to data plans, there are three things you should know about me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
I don\u2019t really dig free browsing tweaks and all; its not a moral thing. IMO, these service providers (especially MTN) deserve a little payback for the injustice they\u2019ve done and keep doing to us. You see, I just don\u2019t have the energy to keep hunting for free credit and browsing tweaks, God had blessed me way beyond that. This isn\u2019t to say I don\u2019t key into some juicy ones once a while \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n\n\n\n
SWIFT is super slow where I say. I download at between 100 Kbps and 700 Kbps during peak hours. During off peak hours, I sometimes get bursts between 800 kbps and 1 Mbps. I\u2019m making serious plans to get an outdoor antenna if I\u2019ll be hanging on to SWIFT longer. I simply queue my downloads get on with whatever I\u2019m doing or simply got to sleep. Uploading is a no go area for me on SWIFT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a nocturnal person so I naturally gravitate towards free night browsing plans. There are many reasons why Tech. Geeks love the early hours; the Family is asleep, the noisy neighbors and their Generators aren\u2019t there to distract you, the internet speed is faster, PHCN prefers to supply power at that time, and best of all, there\u2019s junk to snack on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
My Stats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I make use of more than one network at a time to minimize the risk of downtime. The SWIFT Merit plan is better suited for night usage only; 3GB is inadequate for day browsing over a 30-day period. Unlike the other free night browsing plans I\u2019d been using; The SWIFT Merit plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Didn\u2019t limit my browsing speed due to Fair Usage Policy (which often limits your browsing speed after you exceed a specific bandwidth cap)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Free browsing time was from Mon \u2013 Fri (11pm -8am) + Free 19hrs on weekends (Sat 11pm \u2013 Sun 6pm); unlike the 00:00 \u2013 06:00 (12 AM \u2013 6 AM) on previous free night browsing plans. This gave me more extra hours against other night plans on SWIFT and Spectranet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
I only began using my 3 GB for day browsing a few days before the plan was to expire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For a NGN 3,000 plan, the SWIFT Merit plan is worth a spin, especially if SWIFT is blazing in your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
