I have to admit, that N7,500 for 6 Gigs sounds good. Seems like they are really trying to compete with MTN which can only mean good things. However what I want to know is how it compares to MTN in terms speed, performance and relaibilty. Also, I wish there was some way to know if my location is covered by their HSDPA service.

Brando!:

glo just keeps falling my hand, was at their office yesterday, after about a week of my modem dropping connection like a kid wif epilepsy playing wif wet soap. and do you know their solution? to move from WCDMA to GSM only, can you imagine!
omo that their new tariff for 7500 go tey der o, especially in Abuja.
mtn rules never thot I'd say that, but its the truth.

Djcn:

MTN 8k for 5gig, 1600 per gig

Glo 7.5k for 6gig, 1250 per gig

2010 should ve recorded at least 1000 per gig

Expect price slash again in twelve months time.

What is Bharti n Etisalat even doing?


Bharti (zain) go soon die, mark my words. Etisalat seems to be suffering from not having a 3G license of their own. Etisalat needs to find a way quick cos by 2011 Glo and MTn will leave them behind in terms of speed once Glo1 and Main1 stabilise. Internet is becoming as big a cash cow as voice or text. It's where the money is now.

4llerbuntu:

nope, etisalat bought Alheri's (dangote) 3g licence last year or was it early this year, so they have a 3g license

rolling out a 3g network no be beans, esp when that level is about to become old tech. the world is shifting to 4G

guess they are at a cross roads, do a 3g network that will take like a year or two to complete, by then the competition is announcing 4G trials and rollout!

lumzi23:

Is anyone else having problems with their MTN internet? I am. It is always switching from HSDPA to EDGE and when it does, it freezes (as in stops working), forcing me to stop the connection and restart again. This is especially annoying when I am trying to watch a video or something like that. I am getting frustrated and I might even switch to Glo if these people are not careful.

COMPAQ:

Ha!!!!!! Bros I beg, don't switch to Glo oh!! Except you are very sure Glo is working well where you are? I have used both of them in PH, Ibadan, lekki, Festac, Anthony village etc and all said and done, I have come to the conclusion that MTN offers the best 3G service in Nigeria. I have had a Glo modem for over a year now and it's been a year of woe. Right now i'm browsing with MTN, but my Glo refuses to connect or it connects and keeps dropping off!!

Stay away from Glo!!

How are you positioning Etisalat against the broadband boom scenario you painted?
We have purchased 3G licence off the Dangote Group’s Alheri and now, we are rolling out 3G networks. That is the big thing. In the next two years we will have rolled out 3G networks to cover greater percentage of the population especially in urban areas and the remaining cities.

We have been rolling out 3G networks to start offering 3G services, the highest broadband services which 3G can deliver.

naijatoday:

Etisalat did buy Dangote Group’s Alheri license. The CEO stated this in the interview with Vanguard.

They are already planning the roll, Glo and MTN should be worried.

COMPAQ:

Is it really much of a reduction by Airtel? I guess they have figured that the average conversation is about 2 minutes. The blended effect of 60k/sec for 1 minute and 20k/sec for 1 minute results in N24/min which isn't much lower than current rates.
