How Do I Fix Terribly Slow Glo Internet Connection by ifenadi(m): 2:53pm On Feb 12, 2015
I have used all Gsm Internet network in the past except glo. Yesterday I decided to subscribe to glo 2.5k naira data plan and insered the SIM card in my modem and configured my APN using gloflat. At first it refuses to connect. After so many tries, it connected and when I was about to celebrate, I noticed that the connection speed is extremely slow. It barely open any website even google search. And the most annoying part is that it disconnects every 2 minutes.

I have called glo customer care and they helped me with setting on the modem and none helped. I have to subscribe to MTN data to post this message.

I am currently in Asaba, delta state and I am seeing HSPA glo with full signal in my modem. Please someone should advice me on what settings too use as this subscription is becoming useless to me

I tried this setting. Now it connects instantly without several tries, but the speed is still very slow. I also noticed that it browses faster initially and slows down within seconds once the network strength changes from HSDPA to HSPA. I guess this has to with glo network strength in my area.

... Thought HSPA is a 3G network. I tire for glo

I have used etisalat in the past and it was terribly fast. Thier data plan is somehow expensive to me as the the only plan reasonal to me is 10gb for 10k in a month. I used it for some months and I can't afford it for now. Can you advise a cheaper reasonal plan just like 2.5k naira for 4.5gb?

I av to b honest with u,it is dat stupid subscribtion,initially I was browsing with d bonus given to me by glo and it browse normally, although it may take long before it connect but d browsing speed is still normal but immediately I subscribe to d 2.5k plan, it takes longer before it connect, even wen it connect d speed is just too slow. am even regretting. just continue managing it.

If I were you, I'd try the best rated – which happens to be #1 in this case – in the first instance.

Good luck.

I think you are right. Glo was fatse when I was browsing with credit on my phone but become snail speed immediately I susceibed for 2.5k data plane. Something is fishy abit that plan. I have since dumped the SIM card and went back to MTN
