How To Bypass Speed Throttling On Etisalat Chat / Social Me Pak

So you've already started enjoying the Etisalat chat/social me pak tweak posted a few days back but it seems like the connection is utterly slow on some days?

We've got a fix for you, it only requires you a few minutes to get the tweak blazing at full speed without any speed restrictions whatsoever.

• Read: Etisalat Unlimited Browsing with Chat/Social Pak
• Also: MTN Unlimited Browsing @ #70 Daily

Here's what I discovered;

After the first day of successful subscription, I used to the line for a few minutes and then this message came (see screenshot below)

Afterwards, the speed became slow, so slow it took almost a minute to open a simple html page and the only thing that seems not to be affected was Instant Messaging apps as they require only a few bytes to connect.

But I actually noticed this other message too after a few hours (see screenshot below)

So the next day, I scheduled a task to download at exactly 5:15am with ADM; my motive was to get the Speed throttling notification message before the Pack expiration message and it worked out successfully.

On that day, there was no speed restrictions whatsoever, the speed ranged between 1.2MB - 2MB per second in my location so I downloaded most files I needed with ease.

Since then, it has become a daily routine and I have been blazing my Etisalat Social Me pak unlimitedly without limits. 😌

The FIX

Download Advance Download Manager from playstore and plan a large file download to start between 5-6am and if you get the speed throttle message before the pack expiration message, you're good to go. Else, it's another speed limit day for you!

Do you have an alternate method you use in bypassing the speed throttle? Kindly share with us with in the comments box below!

Unlimited Browsing/Downloading With Etisalat Chatpak/Social Me pak Plan Using Psiphon Handler on Android

Firstly, I'll like to apologize for not posting it earlier. I was doing a test-run on the plan to know how long it lasts before posting it here but now that it seems like it doesn't have an expiry date, I will love you to join me in enjoying the Cheapest plan ever from Nigeria ISPs.

Am talking about the Etisalat Smartpak plans which is categorically a plan that is dedicated to offer Internet access to selected applications. The plan which is sub-categorized in the Chatpak and SocialMe pak is what I have been using for close to a month now on my Android device.

>> To start enjoying the tweak with me, you may need to get a new Etisalat sim card as it will only be recharged once cos subsequent recharges may be deducted almost immediately for renewal of the plan.

>> After you have purchased and registered the sim, recharge your line with #100 and subscribe to the plan of your choice;

• For Chatpak: dial *200*3*3*1*1# for #50 only
• For SocialMe pak: dial *200*3*3*2*1*1# for #100 only (Preferred)

>> Now Download PsiphonHandler88 UI from HERE

>> Launch your Psiphon Handler and configure as stated below:

• Tick remove port
• Select Real Host under Proxy type option
• Input mobile.facebook.com under Proxy server
• Input 194.83.240.11 under Real proxy server
• Input 8080 under Real proxy port

>> Now click on Save when you are done and you will see a popup asking if you want to tunnel whole device; Click on Tunnel whole device.

>> You will then receive another pop-up asking if you trust the application, tick the appropriate box and accept else it won't work.

>> You will then be presented with another interface; Click on the Options tab and select United States or United Kingdom as your region.

>> Now click on More options and configure as indicated below;

• Click vibrate (to know when you're connected or disconnected)
• Click on Connect through an HTTP proxy
• Click on Use the following settings
• Input 194.83.240.11 as your Host Address
• Input 8080 as your port

Now hit the back button and click on Start. After starting the PsiphonHandler, wait a few minutes and it would connect. You can confirm this with the vibration or the key that will be displayed beside p in your status bar.

NOTE

• You only have to subscribe to any pak once, you can then use it till Etisalat stops it. As for me, it's been over 3 weeks since I've been using mine now 😀
• You may get messages about speed throttling and expiration, just ignore and keep surfing. Speed in my location is about 2MB/s and am okay with it.

Drop your comments and testimonies below. Happy Surfing!
