Since I started using mobile internet on a handset, it has always been Glo. I remembered the first internet enabled handset I used in 2006, an 'old' Nokia 7250. At that time, though mobile browsing was not the reigning thing, but, I used to enjoy browsing on the phone through the pre installed mobile browser, on pay-as-you-surf which was 70k/kb on the Glo network at the time.
Although Glo have launched internet plans at that time, it was only available on USB Modem, there were no phone plans then. The Glo mobile phones plans was introduced later in 2011 and I have been subscribing since then.
I started with Instant Surf, which have a capped data volume of 10mb at N100 and valid for 24hrs. The reason I was subscribing to this low volume data plan was that, I was not a big time mobile internet user, as I only get to use my phone after returning from work due to the fact that, there is 24/7 internet access in our office.
After considering spending multiples of N100 for every 24 hours I needed internet connections, I discovered that it was an economic waste. I then tried 'One Week' plan, which offered 50mb data volume at N400 valid for 7 days, I still felt it was a waste as well.
Then, I started to use Always Micro. This plans offers 200mb at N1,000 and valid for 1 month(30 days). All this while, I have always thought that, the data volume being offered by Glo was enough, as I never actually exhausts 'ordinary' 200mb in a given month. So, in order not to waste the balance of my data while it is about to expire, I will buy another one, which will now increased my volume.
It continues like this until I started using my LG GX500 java phone as a Modem. I discovered that, the 2000mb Glo is selling at N1,000 was 'truly' miserable and inadequate. Under 1 month, I bought a data plan of N10,000 for a miserable 2,424mb(2Gig+) volume.
Glo, you are selling Always Max at N7,500 with a 6Gig data volume, it therefore does not make any sense for you to sell 200mb at N1,000. Thinkߗ

yeah rite!!
While u r at it . . pls tell ur bosses at Glo to review all dia plans data n calls inclusive

See my data invoice for the month of August, 2012, a whopping cost of N10,000 for a miserable 2.424G as compared to Glo Always Max with a data cap of 6G at N7,500 only.

I don't know why the attach file I included is not showing up.

It was as a result of the initial size of the file. They are now showing as the file have been resized.

Send another person please because, I don't work in Glo.

You have always been a glo fan. Why this now?

The photo or file is too large. Make it smaller.

yuv got options in other ntws

newman10: You have always been a glo fan. Why this now?

You are very correct. Being a fan of a brand does not in any way make me never to criticize when necessary. I am a Glo fan and will remain so. Here is my page of Glo on Facebook www.facebook.com/globrandpromoter

kejisept25: yuv got options in other ntws

You are right but, I'm in love with Glo and will remain so despite their not too encouraging services. Nevertheless, I will continue to criticize them when necessary. Thanks.

You are very correct. The original size I was trying to upload was 371kb on resolution 1024X768, which was far larger than required. The maximum file size required by Nairaland for uploads is 200kb.
Thank you so much as I have now resized the file to 55kb on resolution 640X480. It is attached here now, which is the amount I spent last month August 2012, to buy data plans from Glo.

See me see trouble oh. Did I tell you I work at Glo? I am a patriotic Glo user please, understand this ok.

Check the attached file and you will agree with me that, the Glo mobile internet plans for phones are very expensive.

Number portability implementation will separate boys from men. Certainly my Glo is going over to etisalat. Why?

Crap network

Crap BB service

Crap data and voice services

Poor customer care(all are guilty of this)

It was my mtn line that was marked for migration but Glo has unfortunately overtaken that lofty position.

Yes my friend, number portability will usher in better services but, is NCC ready to start the implementation?

Although I am not holding brief for Glo on the issues you raised but, all the telecom service providers in Nigeria are the same. The quality being offered today by them are location base, a thing that ought to be available everywhere throughout Nigeria. Their primary aim is to milk us dry especially those 'yellow' boys. So, I will stick with Glo though. How do you see this?

I stay in a state capital where all the network providers have their presence. When I say "presence", I mean 3G network. My primary line was Glo on bb. I have others each of which I could swap at will on my 2nd phone without looking back. In fact, I only give people my Glo number and register accounts only with it which I'm now regretting.

Glo bb service has been on and off untill about 4 mth ago when it did network upgrade in my state to cover all the major cities and their environs with 3G service. What do you expect? A better service? But no, the data and bb service inspite of full bars 3G network on my bb was practically unusable. I gave Glo ccs calls now and then without a solution. They, most of the time, denied the obvious situation. That is why I need to consider jumping to etisalat.

On MNP implementation, there is going to be a forum In Lagos on 26th of this month which has already been backed by MTN and etisalat. The aim is to discuss the adv and disv of MNP and trash out some important issues in preparation to full implementation. NCC may commence MNP before this year runs to an end.

Well, you are in better position to take decision on which service to use. I resides in a state capital as well but, only Airtel have 3g services here now. I have the 4 major networks Sim cards and though I am not using any Smart device yet, but I don't swap my Glo Sim with others for anything, as I am basically not disappointed in anyway in using Glo.
I just hope the forum to be held on MNP will fasten its implementations.

If you are still subscribing to the normal Glo internet plans while the BB plans are working outside BB phones, you are definitely wasting your money. Visit this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1140414/glo-blackberry-plans-phones-other and see the actions of people there. Good luck.
