Glo's Network Speed!! Is It Good? Or Bad? by DaveHert(m): 2:15pm On Jun 05, 2016
I keep hearing terrible comments about glo's network but to be honest, my glo's monthly subscription never stays beyond a week or a week and some few days, why you might wonder why?? That's because the network is basically the fastest in my area in PH.....fast enough that I do monthly subscription 4times a month and it's even faster in the midnight when am hotspoting to my laptop or using it on my router. look at this screenshot and decide for yourself.

it's faster when you insert the sim into a good router and use wifi in the midnight. you can achieve 5MB/sec then or use a mifi or hotspoting it.

used Glo for computer internet practicals last week and I nearly chew the sim. Snail's speed is faster when compared with glo browsing. We virtually did nothing. Even with a Dlink router, it performed poorly.

then you obviously are in a low coverage location. either try it out on a different location or switch to another network. But the thing is no network has 100% coverage every where in nigeria, I loose network signal on airtel once I step into my house and get it back once I step out of that area, and mtn network is OK at my house but the worst at my friends house. it's not just Glo, it's an issue with every netwok, so if you have a low coverage on one network switch to another that has better coverage in your area. that simple!!

Davehert pls can u help me with d site u download movies from.. Thanks

I use a lot of sites depending on the movie I want or the quality I want.
mobilevids.org is what I use when I want to download a movie of standard quality like 320p (each movie is usually sized at 300mb - 400mb)

then for high quality movies I use torrents sites

and for Korean Movies I use kissasian.com. but if you want more I can check my bookmark and list them out

Only if you are comfortable with their plans, like I said it's a matter of choice and what works best for you.
there was a time when mtn was my favourite network and I despised Glo, that's not the case anymore.

You have to be more specific than that, what exactly is wrong with the torrent download? are you sure ur system isn't configured to use a specific proxy?

Hello! I have to say that it works for me fine too. I have just checked my connection with http://www.meter.net, and it showed around 5MB/sec. I guess, it is a good speed for my location. I have never had any issues with Glo at all
