Tell us your service provider for your BIS, your location and your download speed range let's compare!
For me , I use glo comonth, currently in kaduna, my download speed is 10kbps in ŧнε daytime and 150kbps at nights.

Comonth on Glo. Abuja EDGE

My comonth is nothing to write home about.Mine will expire tomorrow and I will definately switch to other network cos it is nothing but a total waste of money.The 3g service is very poor to connection na wahala.I reside in lagos.

Comonth on Glo. Abuja EDGE

am on Comonth, download speed is at 5k/s. its so frustrating. No Edge since 2days, i had to jump ship and joined mtn bis, its uncomparable. Glo Co-nonsense=waste of cash!

I'm on comonth and i mjust say i get a good service usage when only on 3g. And for the record, download speed cannot be determined in isolation. Downloading small files give unbelievable speed compared to downloading heavy files. On the average, mine gets btw 120kb/s anytime from 10pm till around 2pm.

How much do u pay for subscription on etisalat?? Is it ŧнε full package??

glo is so dead , dis is my 1st and last time of usin glo,,,,,comonth ko, cookmonth ni

Why is everyone complaining of Glo comonth?? Maybe your phones don't have 3g networks??

Did I see someone post a pix depicting 21Mbps Haba haba, even glo dem self go shout "are you sure it is us?"

I saw this thread too late just subscribed to Glo Comonth yesterday it is like throwing my 1400 to the drains. To even open a website is difficult not to talk of download. Hopefully I ll go to etisalat be4 the month end I cannot stand this slow motion

Do not mind Nigerians, some of them will buy BB Curve 8520 for N29,000 and be expecting 3 GBps download speed. Before complaining, check the access tech on your phone. I use Glo, though not BIS and it is the fastest and hence my default internet service provider.

I downloaded a movie file at 186kbps at about 3am on a friend's 9700 using glo BB complete weekly in Surulere. Reportedly get 230+kbps in Ketu.
Personally, I use Airtel and the best I've seen is around 30kbps (though on an 8520)

I don't think it has anything to do with BB type if I used BB 8520 with MTN,Etisalat and Airtel and it is very fast I do not see why it should turn to snail with Glo for Christ sake or there is a different GPRS, EDGE or 3.5G what I noticed from status is that while I receive -51dBm with MTN.Glo is having -80dBm

3G and 3.5G networks are much more faster than EDGE/GPRS networks. BB 8520 is an EDGE/GPRS phone and therefore can not attain 3G download speeds.

i get up to 15Mbps on a 3G+ network here in Kenya on Safaricom network,,Actually they Provide 21Mbps on there bandwidth

@Maleeq
Please read up on HSPA, HSDPA and HSUPA so you don't sound ignorant.

185kbps at day nd 205kbps at night

WTF!!! i max out at 63KBs on Etibaba 3G BB Package
