When we talk about corruption in Nigeria, nobody seems to remember that corruption doesn't only happen in government, but in Nigerian companies. Corruption going on in the private sector is as huge as in government. I have had a case where a Nigerian bank stole my money by simply deleting the record of the inflow. It took the intervention of my contacts in high places to recover it. The bank later claimed it was a mistake and a senior staff apologized for their crime. Recently, I found out all the staffs involved in the failed theft are still working in that bank today, even got promoted!. These are people that were caught red-handed stealing a customer's money!.

Huge scams are being ran even by the phone networks and nobody seems to care.

On December 29th, I paid N7,000 to renew my spectranet 4LTE internet which normally will fetch 20GBs. They said they're running a double offer promo, meaning I would have 40GBs.

After paying, my modern suddenly went "No service". It's been three days now and no internet connection still. I have emailed their office repeatedly and all I get is "we're working on it". I've been to their office twice and was told they don't have any technical support person to attend to my case. Therefore, my money is gone and nothing can be done about it.

Unknown to them, I have other people using this network in my neighborhood, have investigated and found out they have no service at all in my area, yet they're still selling and collecting money from innocent Nigerians, whether or not they have service in your area or not. This is a crime!!.

As I speak, I'm browsing with a SIM card, which I don't normally use as they're too expensive and slow for my online class videos and YouTube.

Please let me know, if you're affected by this massive scam. I want Nigerians to know how ugly some of the companies operating in this country could be.

I have considered taking them to court or taking laws into my own hands. Getting a gun and walking into any of their office and shooting as many staffs as possible will help bring the government to knowledge of various scams being endured by Nigerians without any solution in sight. I believe it will also help Nigerian companies sit up.

I do not make threats of what I cannot do. We cannot all sit down and expect change, cause change doesn't come that way. Change comes by TAKING ACTION against something. I need to do something to help in the fight against corruption. I'll rather die than have a company scam me of my hard earned money.

My sister, if you know me you'll know I'm not joking. Please print a copy of my post and keep it.

It is not about the money, I'll do this for the teeming suffering Nigerians. May be this country will sit up then. I have no time to joke around.

Maybe a problem with your area or modem,do a battery pull and try again

Internet connection can frustrate a man.


I support the OP by taking a legal action against them. Crime is Crime no matter the weight.

All that already done. My hypothesis is their server may be inundated due to the christmas bonus they claim to offer.

Therefore, they shouldn't continue collecting more money from innocent customers. My annoyance is they're still collecting money from customers knowing fully well they're server is bankrupt.

I use spectranet too and except for the fact that my youtube videos dont load as fast its work very fine,thats why i'm thinking it may be your area

I've considered legal action, but that wouldn't be useful to achieve my goal. I want to set a record instead, may be from here on this country can begin to get a positive direction going forward.

Yes, it's my area. Therefore, they ought to stop collecting money from innocent customers from that location.

Ooh ok i wont know about that

I got double data though but I've not used it since then. I'm on holiday so can't say if it's deliberate or not but would advise you call them. It's very possible issue is base station related.

Yes, it's base station related. Therefore, they ought to stop collecting money from people within that footprint. But, what are they doing?. They continue collecting money from people!. This's a huge crime in a sane clime!!.

True Talk ooooo..I am experiencing the same problem with spectranet oo...I have not been able to use my spectranet wifi for about 2 days now....Abeg sue them jor...

Mine is working, though I paid for 2 months.

Try it again.

i dont even undrstand their services any longer, i only have one bar in my area, a major city in lagos yet i still be to hang d modem b4 i could get 2 bars so i stop recharging after d first subscription. this issue must not be ignored plzzz!

Just throw away their modem, and count ur loss instead of recharging and incurring more loss, 'telling u from experience

I stopped using their service three months ago.

I think you should shoot everyone in there office or better yet go to a corporate office and shoot the CEO crooks like these will never stop stealing money from innocent Nigerians.

Really painful, i had a bad experience of poor network too at some point. I also currently use their 7k plan similar to urs, but i think am lucky cos their service in my area is a bit ok. I recently renewed this Dec for 20GB plan which was actually doubled as you said. What i may advise you to do is go back there and let them know you are about to institute a court case against them. Insist you want to talk to a manager or if possible their MD else you are taking them to court. As for violence? no bro. Slow down. I know someone has to die for the right thing to happen atime, but your life is precious to your family and God. However, just in case you are bent on the violent option, let me know the branch so i will tell some of the staff i know there to zap in case its the branch i know and am familiar with .

Hi.
Just got a new spectranet modem.

Please how do you auto renew and ensure your data rolls over.

Just in case someone is following this thread, I want to report that spectranet finally rectified the problem 2 weeks to the expiration of my subscription. And this was after several visit to their offices. Of course, I insisted on getting the full 30 days subscription duration that I paid for.

Sheer ineptitude of staffs was the cause of the problem. People who have no business occupying an office position are employed to do a job they know little about. An open-secret, a common Nigerian problem of using who you know to get a job, instead of your qualification.

Very painful my brother.90% of service providers in Nigeria are thieves and NCC is doing nothing in bringing these robbers to book. In developed countries, they pay dearly for this.
