There are somethings most people that subscriber for data don't know and don't bother to enquire before subscribing for it.

Always try and know what the data charge rate is. Though the network provider will not tell you and even if you ask, they will use a term you won't understand and you can't hold against them.

One thing you need to know is that the data operators in Nigeria mostly charge at either 1k/kb, 1.5k/kb or 2k/kb. I have even heard of 1.75k/kb.

Note that: 1024kb = 1mb
1024mb = 1gb

So if you're given 3gb of data and you are been charged at 1k/kb, you will use the exact 3gb given. Meaning if you download a 100mb data, your data balance will be 2.9gb.

But if given 3gb data and you're been charged at 2k/kb, you will be using half of that. Cos your 100mb downloaded data will actually give you 200mb data used. That's the logic.

Another important thing is the "Peak & Off-Peak" period.
The Peak period is 6am-9pm while Off-peak period is from 9pm-6am. Meaning some will have different data charges during peak and off-peak period. And mostly off-peak is always cheaper cos they know fewer people uses data during that time.

They can have something like 2k/kb for peak and 1k/kb for off-peak. That justify two different people having different experience if one download at night mostly and the other download during the day.

With this you can calculate what you use if you know the size of what you downloading or the site you're visiting.

That is one of the reasons they give BB so much data and will not still finish it cos BB Legacy devices has the ability to compress data. If you want to download on a BB legacy device, it's first routed to RIM which compresses the data before sending it to your device.

I know most of us rejoiced when telco giant GLO releaseD their new data plans. As a heavy user of data, I quickly subscribed for the 10gb plan that goes for 2500 even though I sensed there is going to b a foul pay with the package. After some hours I discovered the rate at which they zap is very high.

So yesterday, I tried to check the real cost of their data by downloading a video file of 303mb. After the download was completed, I checked my data balance, and was shocked that they have deducted 609mb(double) for a file of 303mb. Pathetic!

So before you sub to glo data, knw that 10gb is actually 5gb and the 6gb is only 3gb. This mischievous act should be condemned and I wish NCC and Lalasticlala can do something about it.

You should know them, they're Glo staff or marketers.

Re: What I Noticed About The New Glo Data Plans by Eggheaded(m): 9:18pm On Aug 08, 2016
OP is lying, based on the following because I am an heavy data user:
1. Used their night (7days) plan of 3gb that goes for #500
2. used their 100mb
3. used their monthly plan of 2gb, 6gb and 24gb respectively.
I can boldly say that they are ultra reliable as they don't zap data like airtel.
Note: Always Restrict Background Data And Don't Stream Videos, Download Them Instead.
