Airtel Nigeria has unveiled "Smart Speedoo" , a new data plan which most internet-savvy Nigerians will find agreeable.
The service was unveiled at a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos state.
The telecoms firm said Smart Speedoo allows customers to experience real data while browsing at affordable tariff and enjoying free megabytes.
Interested subscribers can activate the new internet package by dialing *141# on their devices.

Vice President, Data & Digital Services at Airtel, Nitin Anand, explained how the Airtel Smart Speedoo plan works.
“When a customer uses up to 10mb at1kobo/kb, Airtel gives him 10mb free.
And when his usage gets to 50mb, the browsing rate drops to 0.5kobo/kb, then he gets 50mb free.
When the customer’s usage reaches 100mb, the rate drops further to 0.2kobo/kb and he is given 100mb free,” Anand' explained.

He further noted that this cycle continues every month, thereby giving Airtel customers the FREE SURF experience.
He said Smart Speedoo rides on the superfast 3G internet, which offers internet speed of up to 42mbps.
This speed is very close to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) speed.
“Almost 80 to 85 percent of all Airtel 3G sites in Nigeria are IP enabled so
they can give you the speed of 42mbps, this speed is similar to the speed you get on LTE network.
So, we can proudly announce that customers can
get real data experience on the Airtel 3G network, which is equal to 4G
speed,” Anand said. Airtel’s Head of Data & portals, David Umoh
added that Smart Speedoo gives pop-up notifications to show usage.

Hence users of the service do not need to remember USSD code to buy data or worry about their airtime being used up when browsing.
Airtel also noted that Smart Speedoo gives ‘free internet in everyone’s hand’ as it enables customers to be in control of their data usage
while also surfing at a very low rate.

It promised to continue to roll out more services to further empower Nigerians and offer the free surf experience.

boring.

boring.

Thanks.

We will give it a trial!

Uwaafid!

This is just silly, by the time someone uses up to 10MB at 1kobo per kb, the cost of that data would be about N10000N102.40

These our ISP don't wanna learn.

Correctee (after jorospet2) pointed out my error

Childish invocation

Oya naija boys come and tweak the plan into cheat

Your calculation is wrong. Since 1kb is 1kobo, 10mb (10,000kb) will cost 10,000 kobo. That's ₦100 (10,000 ÷ 100).

follow..make I wait for pple to use am first..

Tell am.... Most ppl don't want to take their time to analyse a package before jumping to conclusions. Though it's not a perfect plan but d more u use d cheaper it gets. It's way beta dan their normal 100 for 10mb normal plan

Did they mention super fast 3g?? These people are delusional ohh. Ntel don show face with 4G una dey yarn 3G. Mtcheeeeeeeeew

I doubt anyone using Airtel can reach 42mbps even at night. Well the unlimited night plan works for me.

Those ISPs nor no say boys don wise up, which one is speedy or speedo again, give us unlimited data package at an affordable rate is a herculian task for them.

Yeah, my bad

Airetel the liar.
Their highest speed at 3oclock midnight still stood at 1.5mbyte/sec That less down 17mbit/sec..

I have only achieved 32mbit on Etisalat.. But that damn network is expensive.

whats the differnece?? Besides 1mb is 1024kb that means 10mb is 10240kb.. 10240÷100=102.4 .

Stop claiming i too know..and d nigga dat replied after you..apply sense too..

martinkem:


Yeah, my bad

nope in ph where i visit...it clocks 3.2mb/s here at night. In lagos where i stay, it struggles to peak at 650kb/s at night.

Location is everything

Airtel coming out with crap every f*cking day...how's this crap gonna help me?.
Someone should pls tag me when any network in this backward country offers a gig @ #100.

Apologies, i thought one is supposed to take correction when wrong. Although i should have used the strikethrough to denote it

It's still an expensive plan, by the time you've used 50MB supposing the free 10MB doesn't count towards the 50MB, it would've cost you N500. But if it did that's N300.

N300 for 50MB is quite expensive. Considering one could get 1GB for N1000

it depends on the location. Airtel is very fast especially on the night unlimited plan. I clock between 2.5-3.0mb/s on my lappy and 1.5-2.1mb/s on phone.

That's expensive bro. If someone were to download a large file size of say 10gig, that would require parting with some substantial cash.

i guess they (Airtel) saw my thread to rabel against them and their band of data thieves,this isnt enough ,once my thread hits a hundred likes,my next move begins with an encore that will bring their data price to N250 for 1gig.... https://www.nairaland.com/3025972/noticed-quick-depletion-glo-data#44359710

Fixed.

Airtel mumu walai! Person dey complain say 1.5k for 3gb(1.5gb) dey expensive dem dey bring trash come again. No sane person who knows about data cost will try this.
