Why are they selling megabyte? I prefer those that sells time (hours) so that I can download as much as I want.

This is the simple question any sensible person should ask. Imagine paying 3k5 for 1GB. If i download 1, 2, 3, video clips, the thing go just finish.

But MTN these id.iots, thieves and BAS.TARDS with their scams that they keep calling promos. SMH for anyone that subscribes to this pooo.

omodapson:

Glo is by far cheaper. I don't know why this is a news. I enjoy 6gig of data for a planned period of 6months on glo@7,500. Mtn is just looking for cheap selling point.

Please tell me how to go about this. thanks

I'll get one. Thanks

Please would these work on my nokia blackberry iphone?

I am not impressed. Glo is still better.

at least its an improvement. with proper management, 500Mb is sufficient for a month.

@sun-tem, i'm intererestd in ur signature.

ifffffy:

@sun-tem, i'm intererestd in your signature.

Okay, My number is there too

Even if they make it 1gb N500, I ll not bother 'cos I'm already on unlimited browsing/downloads! Foc sweet sha!

, you guys should cut mtn some slack here, for me personally this is good news and i will explain. At my hood, i only have mtn 3g, all others are 2g with flunctuation signal levels except airtel that is fair but @ 1k for 100Mb. This has forced me to keep multiple sims with minimum of two data plans from separate providers running simultaneously. Now i can get more data with a single provider at home and elsewhere at a cheaper price. Those of you living in lagos or abuja should count yourself lucky!

Glo is nt bad but my best in terms of stability and adequate speed is etisalat,they are consistent unlike Mtn which is heart attack. Mtn cn break connection in d middle of an import work online whch we leave u frustrated. Am waitn for Etisalat to reduce their price or increase their GByte coz i stil prefer them to anyother.

yipeee!!!oh how long iv waited for this , android browsing messiah! i mean, i use up to 25mb somedays,
though they mess up sometimes, i think man is still The best signal strength wise, most lagos peeps may not notice but other networks suck when u use em outside lag,

this is good news.

Etisalat all the way! Download and browse until your battery is gone!

These plans are great for smartphone users,especially the android fans.

Maybe when mtn is truly ready to roll out better, affordable and equitable data plan, i might look their way, until then GLO rules.

on the average how many mb data is sufficient for a month on android? I heard it gulps data a lot and 100mb is just 3days!

This is so pathetic, our leaders are not doing their jobs, 50Mb at India cost just 5rupees, around N20, and this MTN continues everyday to swindle nigerians of there hard earned money, Nigeria I hail thee,

MTN? Not again. I have been using their nite plan for months, but I'm really pissed with them right now. I have been having some issues with the network in the last couple of months; it got worse this month. Out of the 30 days offered this month, about 7 have already been wasted as I was unable to use the service because of some "Bleep.zzz.yy" error. All I got from them was that they were sorry without any compensation.

Even now, the service is somewhat irregular so I don't think I want to subscribe again for a while.

Correct.

This people are killing Nigerians with their useless DATA-CAPS .

Imagine just watch 50 online videos and your 6GB is finished, no more browsing.

I prefare internet subscription based on time spent and not on date used.

e.g 15k per month(unlimited downloads).

ZOOMmobile, Mobiltel and Visaphone have better internet sevice than this GSM companies.

Seconded, I prefer unlimited data service that Starcomms, ZOOMmobile and co provide,

If u want an unlimited download,get HYNET from MTN nd u'l b fine.make sure u re in HYNET/3G coverage area.my friend has one nd its WOW.


To avoid disconnection wen browsing wt MTN, ensure u refresh any of d website pages already opened at intervals(maybe 30 to 50minutes intervals).Their network disconnects u wen it sees u re idle for long especially during peak periods.


MTN in my area is 3G nd superfast,others suck. In terms of slow browsing d quality of d modem/PHONE used for browsing nd d type of signal in an area ar major factors(eg WAP,GPRS,EDGE,HSDPA,HSUPA,HSPA nd GPRS,EDGE or 3G respectively).

Further enhancements to GSM networks are provided by Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology. EDGE provides up to three times the data capacity of GPRS.

EDGE allows the delivery of advanced mobile services such as the downloading of video and music clips, full multimedia messaging, high-speed colour Internet access and e-mail on the move.


The terms HSPA, HSDPA and HSUPA all relate to the high speed data access provided by high-specification cellphones and the cellular networks to which those phones are attached.

These are “high speed” technologies over and above that provided by “third generation” (3G) cellphone technology.

HSDPA stands for “high speed downlink packet access” and is a way to download data from the internet to the mobile phone at very high speeds. As of late 2008, the fastest HSDPA speed that is widely implemented is 7.2 Mbit/s (megabits per second), although many high-end phones are limited to 3.6 Mbit/s.

All of these figures are theoretical maximums which are unlikely to be achieved in practice. They assume a perfect radio link between the mobile phone and the cellphone tower, and that there are no other phones sharing the tower’s available bandwidth. Nevertheless, HSDPA can provide a very satisfying speed for web browsing – not quite up to the speed available using WiFi but fast enough to have a similar “feel”.

HSUPA is “high speed uplink packet access” and is the corresponding technology for uploading data quickly from the phone to the internet. It is alternatively known as “enhanced uplink” (EUL), and has a theoretical maximum speed of 5.76 Mbit/s.

For most users, uplink speed isn’t nearly so important as downlink speed. However, users who are uploading large photos, videos, songs or other media files will benefit from a fast uplink speed.

The abbreviations HSPA can be read as “high speed packet access” and are loose ways of referring to various mobile phone protocols that improve on the performance of standard 3G (UMTS) protocols. As of 2008/09 the most important HSPA protocols are HSDPA and HSUPA, but HSPA could also be considered to include “Evolved High Speed Packet Access” (HSPA+) which has a theoretical maximum of 42 Mbit/s downlink and 22 Mbit/s uplink.
