Since the GSM networks came into Nigeria, there's been competition to stake a claim for "most used network this,highest number of subscribers that" here & there. Now with the emergence of 3/3.5G (make i no call 4G sef), one has to ask. . . Is 3G (i'd love to put 2G) in Nigeria REALLY what its meant to be?

I was in Ghana for some weeks and over there, the 3G experience is mind-blowing. . i could boast of reaching speeds of 800kbps (on connecting in a remote location) to 2-7/3mbps!

So i decided to buy a Zain 3G modem(when i came back), ONLY to find out that i needed a 3G sim to enjoy 3G services?

I switched to MTN, then i realised all i had was a 50mb bundle that i have to use up in 24 hrs? with embarrassing speeds (even though i live close to an mtn-owned mast)

This is bulls*h*i*t

Bro, you aint seen nothing yet, all these 3g/3.5 providers are rip offs. not much difference from gprs/edge

All these ISPs in Nigeria are pure money suckers and rip offs.
I don't think the 3G or 3.5G technology is fully deployed.

I am sure using your modem beats the hell out sitting in one of those stinky "cyba kafs" waiting for yahoo to load.
this was not available 5 - 10 years ago so i am sure sooner or late the tech has to improve, i am sure it didn't happen overnite in Ghana either.
You also need to be aware of false advertizing in NGR - we are good at this, i remember pulling my hair out trying to "blazing fast starcomms" a while back, ogba suru,
