I am pained by the rip off going on in the data providers sector with NCC turning a blind eye or bribed. I contacted NCC twice on their website contact page lamenting the cheating and rip off going on in the data sector through their contact page but they haven't responded. May be all Nairalanders need to visit NCC website and fill a petition in their contact page lets see if they will respond. I used to spend 18k monthly on cobranet 4yrs ago, but as soon as GSM providers join the business then data got capped, now 40k subscription is not enough monthly and I spend more. Can some tell me the cheat to use ? I feel I am cheated by these gluttonous ISPs. |

Monthly 1k MTN BB data plan is just 300MB. First, I can't check my usage, it will tell me "you are within fair usage". I don't get any message when the 300MB is exhausted. It dips into my call account balance even when I have sent DATA OFF to 131. I can't buy a new plan. I have to wait till the suppose expiry date of the expired 300MB. Glo offers same 1K plan for 3GB @ MTN, The cap renders your price slash useless. We can get this thing cheaper, cheaper could mean more usage and more revenue. |

People tend to think that Internet Bandwidth is like a tap the service provider turn at will . NO The main determinate is the capacity of the gateway to carry quality traffic. Nigeria has not invested much in internet services . NigComSat is useless , fiber optics is mostly private and limited. Turning the tap full on for all subscribers will grind the network to a halt . It is like JAMB , if Nigerian Universities had the capacity to take everyone who wishes to pursue tertiary education , there will be no need for JAMB . The high subscription is like a bottleneck to to provide near-quality service to few who can afford it within the capacity of the system |

unlimited power supply is guaranteed in Nigeria, we should forget about the cost of internet going down. I am studying in India with a population of more than 1.2billion people and they have uninterrupted power supply. I am using fiber broadband internet of 15mbps with Fair usage policy of 50GB after that the speed drops to 4mbps unlimited and I pay just 1100 rupees per month which is not even up to 3000 naira. Let the government fix electricity issue then you can talk or you want them to burn fuel or diesel then layer give u cheap internet? I agree with you abit, but do you think power supply is the only/main reason for what i call extortion by our ISP. Pls i want to further my studies in India, can you pls inform me how to go about it? I'm really serious. Thank you |

@OP, you can't expect to get uncapped, fast Internet for N2,000. If it was your business, would you do that? You would lose all your money just to please ppl. I think a price of about 7-15 would be ideal for uncapped Internet, depending on the speed. 1 Like |

Plus, Nigerians have become too data hungry. |

I find this quite hard to believe, but if its true, then obviously you may have failed to elaborate on some things. For instance I'm sure that is a wired connection, not wireless like most cell carriers here. Secondly I'm sure they started with higher prices first to recoup investments of laying cables. With that said though, that has to be the cheapest price for Internet in the world. |
