Nigerian Networks Introduce Shaving To Balance Cheaper Data Rates by Nobody: 12:12pm On Aug 15, 2015 |
The availability of multiple applications like BBM, Skype, WhatsApp is eating up the revenues of major Nigerian Telecommunication companies. With the budding apps, calling and short message services have taken the back seat and as a result, the telecommunication companies are facing a massive loss of revenue. A recent report has revealed that majority of the telcos have fallen some 30% decline in their expected revenue generation. Apart from this revenue drop statistics, the report also suggested that the companies could see an additional decrease of 20% in the total revenue. In order to reclaim the loss, some of the telcos have raised data price through the means of shaving, which is eventually hurting the broadband penetration in Nigeria. How the shaving is done The current data plans, irrespective of the network hardly last the expected duration it is meant to last, due to increased use of internet in Nigeria. For example, I’ve been a victim of Airtel on several occasions. Buying their so called 2GB BIS plan for 1,500 naira is suicide. The last time I used the service, I hardly got 200 megabytes of data usage before I was slammed with the reality of my “data is exhausted!” What a sham? http://somtoo.com/nigerian-networks-introduce-shaving-to-balance-cheaper-data-costs/ 20 Likes 5 Shares

Thief telecom companies, are there no telecoms in the Western World where these applications are widely used? People still use text messaging and call services because they are cheap and affordable and no magomago in their charges unlike this 'shaving' method wey our telecom companies wan begin use shave the remaining hair for our head. No be we cause dis one wey una dey so no need to transfer aggression to your customers in the form of shaving abi na barbing. 5 Likes |

[size=16pt] I want to disagree with the op on this his 'shaving' concept. 'shaving' as you put it, will only occur if you don't follow simple instructions... that "do not load BIS on an android phone"..when you do that, you will be totally liable for any inconvenience you experience. but the way airtel barb data tho etisalat is the best in terms of data management followed by MTN, then glo and lastly airtel but in terms of speed.. airtel dust all of them my2kb tho [/size] 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, this is so so true. I was discussing with a friend the other day. When I bought my Galaxy tab in 2012. I use to buy a 350mb monthly data and it was enough to browse the Internet for a month. I am a heavy browser. I read the news on almost all available platforms. Nairaland, Blogs and Online newspapers and 350mb was enough(I hardly download anything). Fast forward to 2015, I do exactly the same things I do online as before, but 2gb is never enough for me in a month. 12 Likes |

MTN father of all shavers, shaving the shavees off their hard earned cash. I activated a one month BIS plan with these robbers only for my browsing speed to get throttled three days later. I just jejelly remove the useless simcard and inserted my etisalat.... Etibaba saving lives since 2008.. 8 Likes |
