What makes Lomé different
As the capital of Togo, Lomé has its own mix of connections. A city of about 2.2 million, Lomé mixes fibre-connected blocks with homes still on slower lines.
Mobile data in Lomé
How far does a 5 GB bundle go in Lomé? About 8 hours of HD 720p with Silux Media, versus 3.7 hours with other media servers at the same picture quality (our measurements).
Evenings in Lomé
Local time in Lomé is UTC+0, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (19:00–23:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Lomé has about 11 h 46 min–12 h 29 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.
On the move from Lomé
The nearest other cities we cover are Kara (381 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Benin? Cotonou is about 135 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Lomé
Can I watch my own films in Lomé?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Lomé or wherever you take them.
Can I watch my films in Benin?
Anywhere, Benin included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to Kara?
It does. Between Lomé and Kara (about 381 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Lomé?
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.
Does it support French subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in French or any other language.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Lomé?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (19:00–23:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
