The Terrible Price Of An “unlimited Internet Service” In Nigeria by hummerwise(m): 12:52am On Jan 24, 2015 |
Came across this online just thought I should share to get you guys opinion..Are we being Exploited? Every Nigerian in Nigeria would wish for a 24 / 7 unlimited internet service that would allow him or her access the net without any restriction, and at a cheap price. Mind you, I’m not referring to the service most networks in Nigeria offer, that allows you to send “unlimited” whatsup messages with your phone. I am referring to an unlimited internet service that can allow me to watch videos online, upload contents online, stream live matches and download all the freeware software’s I need to my PC, without having to worry about my Megabytes(MB) or data plan.Source:http://www.thescripton.com/2014/10/02/terrible-price-unlimited-internet-service-nigeria/ 52 Likes 4 Shares |

No wonder naija people are suffering and smiling.. Someone is trying to vent out his anger and trying to fight for his right.. And some people are here preaching about bypassing a barrier through a 3rd party tunnel apps... Question is: why can't they offer us better package directly... SIMPLE ![]() 207 Likes 11 Shares |

I think this network service providers and NCC are just playing ten ten with our heads,i wonder why we shouldn't enjoy the luxury of unlimited data like other african countries,this is just improper and completely absurd,and this is also a country dat boost of highest internet users,plainly pathetic,enough of this suffering and smiling.why can't we jus stand for our right must we always be treated like shiit always,besides i was in ghana couple of days back and i subscribed for a monthly data plan can u imagine i used that same plan to download almost 700gig of files(games inclusive) infact i was tired of downloading and switched to streaming youtube videos and other streaming websites unlike nigeria if i subscribe for 75gig it won't last me for 2days coupled with a snail lyk network,NCC are using our heads to play politricks and if we don't take action pronto,hmmmmm 28 Likes 1 Share |

@op d answer to d guy's question is ...; (a) We don't have a steady power supply so dis networks use fuel or gas or whatever to power dia various stations n in doing so ,de r wasting a lot of cash (b) The two countries he mentioned (Ghana n Togo) has almost d same population as a single state(Lagos) in Nigeria ,do d math (c) Still on d two countries(Ghana n Togo) ,it's easier for dem to cover these areas with dia power stations cos de r little compared to d whole of Nigeria n dats why some areas in Nigeria might hv good airtel connection but lacks in quality glo ,mtn n etisalat connections ,dis means dat d various networks can't mount dia power stations all over Nigeria cos of d money wasted in gas or fuel (d) We hv d worst set of people managing d affairs of d NCC ,dis guys r crooks n cash whores ,almost every year ,one or two or three networks r punished n sanctioned for lack of quality network connections n r made to pay hefty sums of cash(so it seems on d outside) ,banned from selling sim cards for a month or more but after all dis shyte ,d network connections r pretty much d same or worse dan b4 n u ask ur self why? is NCC really doing dia job or r de just interested in d cash de receive from d networks?...
