I’d been using SWIFT since 2014 and was on the Swift Essential Plus plan which was giving me 20GB with free daily browsing from 00:00 AM (12 midnight) to 06:00 AM for NGN 8,000. I however ditched SWIFT for the Spectranet Unified Value (40GB) which gives me 40GB plus free daily browsing from 01:00 AM to 07:00 AM for NGN 12,500 a few months ago. For me, its all about the free night browsing; else, how do I clock 90GB+ of data usage monthly without paying through my nose? The reason for jumping ship was that I changed location. Now, despite SWIFT being very slow in my new area, I endured for about a year…but couldn’t stand the sluggish speed anymore. Hell, I was downloading at less than 300 kbps on a supposedly 4G LTE network!
SWIFT was kind enough to send an Engineer down to my house. The outcome of his readings was that I would need an outdoor antenna to boost signal reception. This prompted me to opt for a Spectranet (which is much better in my area) Mi-Fi for the time being. Apart from this, I found the Spectranet plans more attractive but I’m seriously reconsidering dusting my SWIFT 4G LTE CPE (which -by the way- I love because of my 24-hour lasting external battery as opposed to 4-5 hours with my Spectranet Mi-Fi) as a result of the newly introduced SWIFT 4G LTE data plans.

For heavy data users like me, I think the
SWIFT Merit
plan would be a pretty nice deal. No more waiting till 12 midnight or 1 AM for free browsing. One would just have to put SWIFT aside for day browsing as 3GB isn’t much (wouldn’t even last 3 days..and that’s without downloading or uploading).
