Globacom is one of the Nigeria's telecom operators delivering affordable service to Nigerians. But the sad truth is that Glo has the poorest network coverage in Nigeria. Many Nigerians migrate to Glo to enjoy the cheap data plans but later on return to their "mother telco".

How Glo is censoring your browsing

Glo whether purposefully or not denies it subscribers access to blogs hosted on Google's blogging platform, Blogger making use of custom domains.

Ever wondered why you couldn't access naijacolumn.com.ng or naijatechguy.com when you were browsing with your Glo sim here's why.

The only way to go about this restriction is to make use of VPNs or proxy browsers like Opera mini(with data savings on extreme mode).

This restriction affects thousands of blogs worldwide. Even foreign blogs are affected.

Trying to visit www.jarushub.com via Glo network has not been possible for over a year.

Glo can do better if popular blogs cannot be accessed on their network.

It's probably because most of the blogs offering glo network cheats are hosted using google's platform.
Scratch that -- all the blogs offering the cheat use google's platform.

There is no friend in business. The CEO will rather ban google as a whole than invest financial resources to pinpoint the offending blogs and block them individually.

Sorry but it's actually a Glo problem. This sites are available when they were using *..com but setup a custom domain and Glo can't load it anymore
