About streaming in Ibadan
Ibadan has about 3.6 million residents, from dense centres with busy mobile networks to suburbs where home upload speed is what limits streaming. Ibadan is the capital of Oyo State.
Mobile data in Ibadan
In our measurements a film in full HD uses about 1.0 GB per hour on Silux Media, against 2.5–2.7 GB on Jellyfin and Plex for the same picture. A 5 GB mobile bundle in Ibadan lasts about 8 hours of 720p instead of 3.7.
Evenings in Ibadan
Local time in Ibadan is UTC+1, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (18:00–22:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Ibadan has about 11 h 42 min–12 h 33 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.
On the move from Ibadan
Heading to Lagos (about 117 km) or Benin City (222 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Benin? Porto-Novo is about 174 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Ibadan
Does it help on crowded city networks in Ibadan?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Will it work on the way to Lagos?
Yes. On the roughly 117 km between Ibadan and Lagos, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Ibadan?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Ibadan, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
What does Silux Media cost in Nigeria?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Can I watch my own films in Ibadan?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Ibadan, elsewhere in Oyo State, or abroad.
Does it support English, Hausa and Yoruba subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English, Hausa and Yoruba or any other language.
