End time tins.
Small time now, sleeping with your wife or sending your children to school will become end time things for your side. Wouldn't it have been better to be muted if there is nothing to say?

You no sabi anything. I'm telling you that Glo now speeds up the rate in which their data is consumed and you're here saying rubbish.
My hard-earned 5K for 4GB/1month just got wasted in less than 19 days without any heavy downloads and with my Windows Update turned off.
Not doubting that but I am a pretty heavy user. I don't finish mine before a month unless I am watching movies on youtube and downloading heavy files. As a result sometimes I make use of 1.5G which finishes like a week before time depending on usage. For your information, I tether my phone.

Madam, I am not talking about the fastness or slowness of the GLO Internet service but, their CHEATING practice against Prepaid Internet subscribers, as they are favouring their Postpaid Internet subscribers with cheaper amount on the same data bundle.
Having said that, GLO Internet service is not doing bad in my location even though they don't have 3G services here. Thank you.

spiritfada: Glo are big time scammers! Can you imagine I recharge #1000 and it was deducted illegally without making use of it and no services subscribed for. I called them several time to inform them about this problem but to no avail.

#GLO..kindly refund my hard earn airtym of #1000 or I will refer u guys as Telecommunication Criminal to any social network I lay my hands on..
Please, don't sleep over it until they will refund your money. Make use of the available space to register your grievances against them.
Make use of the Live chat service on their website, Twitter, Email to customercare@gloworld.com, Facebook, Google+, 121 and 171 as well as contacting on their website by sending a complain there till your money is returned.
This is really painful and regrettable.

Well, the 30MB is a free MB on the Bounce plan but it's really annoying that, it is far less than 10MB in practice. Glo really need to up their games on every service(s) they are rendering.
However, my grudge with them on this thread is the cheating of their prepaid Internet subscribers as against their postpaid Internet subscribers. I am very sure that, the same practice is obtainable on all other data plans available on the Glo network including their BIS Internet plans too.
This cheating just have to stop.
They say itz 30mb but itz actually 6mb free on Glo bounce. I had zero ngn, put my sim in d modem n watched as the mb counted.. Got cutoff when my sent n received totalled 6mb. Checked #124# to find tht my 30mb wz nw 0mb..

Those guys r real crooks..

There are apps that run in the background. You have to turn all of them off if you want to get all your Mbs. These apps consume bandwith and mbs as they check for update online. And some of them have to do that-your antivirus, your windows update etc.

skyface00: Not only Glo,dis ppl cheating nigerians ,etisalat give free calls during weeks in other countries in the world but nothing of such here in nigeria,our leaders don't see anytin wrong in that since its as nothing 2 do with oil and gas...wats a confused leaders with shadow brain
in those other countries land telephone lines are most likely to be functioning. Competition among phone providers are stiff. We stole our land telephony blind. No body who has land telephone may opt for mobile telephones in normal business transaction. Task Nigeria govt to return land telephony to Nigerians. Govt officials in Nigeria have no choice.

onegig: All those networks are not better than the other. Imagine mtn charging me for caller tune when i never subscribed. They now placed their default advert as the caller tune which snacks of intelligence and sent me a message that i have insufficient balance to complete the transaction after deducting 50 naira. So tell me what's the 50 naira for? And why would i pay for a service i never ordered ?
Most of these networks tricked people to enter their useless VAS programme by texting you that, so, so and so service is free for 7 days. Look, if you by mistake ente, you don join one chance be that as they will start collecting your money after the free days are over.
Imagine GLO were deducting N100 every week from my account for Nigerian information service. In fact, all these networks short code services are for fraud.

Abroad, land lines provide internet services nearly 97 %. Those who use handsets and services of mobie phone servers for internet do so for mere formality, in serious internet business, they go back home or office for landline connected internet services.

there's no perfect telecom network operator in nigeria, I have a consistent glo line for calls, and mtn and airtel for internet subscription mainly. my etisalat must have been blocked by now. I switch to any favouarable network for a particular purpose.

jhydebaba: That's the reason NCC made it possible for us to 'port'.


One network fvcks up, u port. Shikena!
Well, the point here is the different prices GLO is selling the same Internet plan for their prepaid and postpaid Internet subscribers, not a network issue that would have warrant porting to another network service provider. Thank you. .

fitzmayowa: This an opportunity for you to port to MTN...MTN everywhere you go
Well, I made up my mind long time ago not to think of porting at all www.nairaland.com/1268871/which-network-porting-why/4#15419828
That is why I have all the 4 major mobile service providers Sim cards which I can alternate at will. Moreover, the issue I raised here is not about service, but about the cheating practice GLO is dishing their prepaid Internet subscribers for the same data plan they are charging their postpaid Internet subscribers for less.
