@Puskin: I go call Victor Odili and tell him about your travails OKbut I find it difficult to believe that the great Puskin is limited to one network.I expect that you would be on two or three (possible for about 8G/Month).Anyhow,I no get cafe for festac, only SO.

E ya cry cry

Poor Starcomms and Multilinks !!!

But sha ! They have nobody to blame but themselves. Starcomms was among the pioneers that made mobile internet access mainstream. Suddenly, you didn't have to go to a cafe and do overnight browsing to download those movies, series or games you loved. After all the money and monopoly they enjoyed, they have now faded into oblivion. This is evidenced by how this thread has been neglected and members moved to the screen shot thread dominated by MTN network. CDMA internet providers like Starcomms, Multilinks, Visafone and Zoom are all experiencing poor sales and revenue from their modems and internet subscribers. The lack of competitive pricing and slower speeds than their GSM counterparts has made them a laughing stock. I remember vividly when i used to go to Starcomms office at Wuse II in Abuja. Customers where queuing up like crazy all to renew their subscriptions or buy new modems. They even had a teller from Zenith bank to receive your money because of the large quantities of cash they where dealing with on a daily basis.

Now, the place is like a ghost town. You hardly meet more than 5-8 customers. The customer care reps that where arrogant and attended to you like a privilege now usher you in and welcome you like kings and queens. Even the security man greets you properly. Chei ! Starcomms. How the mighty have fallen ! What did they do with all the profits they made when the going was good ? Why are they still maintaining such high prices for their internet services i.e 1month or 250hrs - N15000 (Unlimited) ? Is GSM (HSDPA) technology better than CDMA (EVDO Rev. B) ? Why have they not expanded into new states or upgraded their services in existing ones ?

Please, somebody should tell Starcomms to wake up and get their house in order !

Starcomms is misbehavin since yesterday evdo switches to 1x intermitently. And the speed is very slow. Sometimes it loses signal. Very unlike starcomms. Anybody with similar experiences.
