Starting today, 15th March 2015, Spectranet has phased away its old plans and tariffs and introduced new ones that are outrageously expensive. Plans are now cost double the amount it used to cost in the old tariff/plans. Below is a screenshot of the new tariff and plans. NCC where art thou?

They increased their tarrif but it is not by 100%. Sai... Ur mathematics teacher should be arrested. Formerly 20gb was 7,000 while 25gb was 8,000. Now 20gb has been increased to 10,000 but there's a catch... U get free 10gb for night browsing which wasn't included in the old tarrif. At the end of the month u might end up using 30gb for 10,000.. So why are u calling NCC? Show me any other isp with cheaper rate. Why not call on Nigeria government to provide their own isp and make it cheap, then other isp's will be forced to reduce their price. The only problem is spectranet has very slow, at least in my area.

henryskywalker2003:


Funny how u picked on just one single plan. So u didn't see the night plan of 20gb that used to be 4000 is now 7500 and the one of 40gb for 4k is now, now that of 55gb that was 7k but now 14k. Anyway, me don port to smile

abatically:
Nna op, must u call on NCC over everything. Is it by force to use spectranet? There are other isp's so if u are not satisfied change ur network. Moreover even with the increase in tarrif it is still cheaper than competition. Swift also charge 10k for 20gb, but spectranet still gives 10gb free for night surfing so I don't see what u are complaining about. Oya if u still no satisfy go on strike as that is what is trending in the country now. U think say this na petrol? Na so dem shout when dstv increase tarrif as if dstv is the only pay TV in the country. Why government no provide these amenities for her citizens in the first place. Oh I forgot, even the basic amenities like petrol and electric dem never fit provide na Internet dem go come give u.

from their website , it's actually unlimited from 1am to about 6am. The 10gig extra runs from now until May or so. The catch is actually the unlimited while the 10 gig is a promo. Overall it's a good one if you ask me.

Even better. I see no reason why people are complaining. They only reviewed their plans and not actually increased it. While it might not really favor the knight plans, it is excellent for the heavy users. I called them today and they said the 20gb plan is now 10k with 10gb bonus making 30gb. On top of that there is free browsing for those downloads between 1am-7am. I mean what else do people want. I wanna see any other isp in Nigeria that is even one to being as cheap as this.

asuustrike2009:

And you think theirs will be cheap? Don't you know the devaluation of naira against the dollar is affecting their profit margin? Would any meaningful company run at a loss?

henryskywalker2003:


At least, given the fact they are attempting to break into the market, the least they can do is to offer services at competitive prices compared to what we already have today.

henryskywalker2003:


So, because they are given free midnight browsing, you expect users to stay away from 1am to 6am just because we want to browse? Some of us that use the night plans use it cos we have internet at the office and come back home from between 6pm to 9pm which is when the night plan usually starts and enables us to do one or two things before bed. I don't see any right minded person that will want to stay awake at such hours just to browse. Case in point, with the low tariffs we have today in call rates, how many people still do MTN midnight calls today?

greenhulk:


Spectranet Staff,you have done your job but u still don't make any sense. Price increase yes but why so much? You bloody m0ron, since when dowe justify 100% price increase of a product?

Spectranet does not have the number of subscribers they need to maintain that low price, so the existing subscribers have to pay through their nose in order for spectranet not to go out of business. Dont come here calling White as black.



U are forgetting a few things.

1. Spectranet is a private own company and not a charity organisation.

2. Spectranet is not the only isp in Nigeria so the issue of monopoly is out of the equation. There is always a choice.

3. Naira has fallen so bad that it has become almost worthless. U said they charged 5,000 for 50gb night plan in the past right ? Dude that is a measly $15 for 50gb data. Show me anywhere in the world where that is done. I know u will say it is night plan but it was just there to attract customers. Even the current rate of 10k for 50gb is still not too bad... Unless u show me any other company with a cheaper rate.

I'll give u an example. Last year when tecno Phantom 5 was released, it was sold for 70k. Today (6 months after its release) that same phone is sold for above 100k. Technically the price out to have dropped but it keeps going up. I guess u know why. So why not call NCC to caution tecno. Also last year Samsung g
Flagship phone galaxy s6 was sold for between 120-130K. Today, a year later that same phone is still sold for around 150k (when technically price should have dropped by about 40%) while their new flagship is sold for above 200k. U know why don't u? So call NCC on Samsung. Even pure water, rice, etc price don increase.

So it is expected for spectranet to increase their tarrif, in all honesty they are trying to make their price as cheap as possible. But when u consider the current value of naira then it is innebivatble. We pay them in Naira while they buy their equipments in dollars. They pay their foreign engineers in dollars. And u expect them to charge u $15 for 50gb data. If they were paying 10k to buy a $50 device last year, then this year they paying almost 20k to buy the same $50 device. How do u expect them to balance the books?

4. Spectranet tarrif still remain the cheapest in the country, at least for the heavy users. Unless u can show me any other company with a cheaper rate then ur rant is worthless.

I must have missed your point, or are you talking about the point you pulled out of ur ass? that's the only way u could have come up with such nonsense. M0ron.



See this mumu calling someone mor0n. I made my point without cursing anyone, is that too difficult for u to understand that u had to resort to calling names? Too many kids on the internet these days.

Oya go hang urself na as spectranet don increase tarrif.

Greenhulk definitely works for Spectranet. I don't see anywhere in the world where data plan prices increases while the data is costant and what is the relationship between fallen Naira and spectranet data plans if I may ask. Are they importing the internet abi? If at all things go bad, I would expect that spectranet reduces for instance 20GB/7,000 to 15GB/6000......in that format but not the same amount of data I pay 7k for now 10k that's using Nigerians and playing on their intelligence because they know we will only complain and no action....Well, Nigeria is changing, enjoy it till it last.
