Andotee:
give glo a trial. Their data bundle is the best. Especially for heavy users

Ewlery:

I am just sick of the useless network event Airtel doesn't work here

Andotee:
every four days? That is tremendous

dongc:
sometimes i wonder who advises companies on investment...they are now going to spend billions on an infrastructure that is readily available..main one already has this..companies can share net with main one and cut cost... in Sweden we have top 4 biggest networks(telia,telenor,tele2,comviq all use same net...companies go joint junction in stuffs like this..but no in Nigeria everyone should open the road and install fiber optics one after another...the same for electricity ..same grid and channel but different provider....our country stuck 40 years behind

Andotee:


Not true bcus Globacom is the fastest network here in Abuja

vidid2all:


Chai, see your life!!!!

Glo no fast for Abuja biko.

nextstep:


... and what network do you think MTN et al use to access Facebook, Nairaland, or Google servers? Glo-1 and MainOne. They get tons of revenue from all the operators that run data over their lines, even if "their cellular network is slow".

Have you seen the number of fiber lines between UK and USA? Or Japan and USA? Each one done by different companies and consortiums over the years. I'm very proud that one private Nigerian company will soon have two self-funded fiberoptic submarine cables.

dondada78:
Wrong. MTN has her own submarine cable system called WACS

dammiedot:
9mobile and aortell don not have a submarine cable and there data service ain't has wacked as glo...what difference will this make....crappy network

Andotee:
every four days? That is tremendous

justscorchone:
I'm not interested my 9mobile N200 for 1GB is enough for me

Andotee:


Mtn zaps data faster than a lion running after a bush meat

IBBG:
bro it seems 9mobile has stop it o.

BalleyB:
So when will this start? I need the fast data

Andotee:


Not true bcus Globacom is the fastest network here in Abuja

GeneralOjukwu:
Nigerians, support indigenous companies to grow.

If not for Glo, MTN lied in 2004 that per second billing was impossible till 2007

The same way DSTV, Shoprite have market dominance and exploit Nigerians with the connivance of our leaders is what telecoms would have still been.

YES, i use a GLOBACOM line though they have network issues in a lot of places, very good in the North

asuustrike1:

Why is their network good in North?

Operette:
People complaining about mtn zapping data should probably get a data counter app. (my data manager works in most cases) and then most importantly 'freeze' play store. It seems to update every 2 days or sooner. Especially when your internet is idle and when you open an app with IAP prices.
Lastly, you might want to disable data when you are not using it. Some apps like DU Apps (Battery saver, clean master, etc) download updates themselves before prompting you to 'update'. Better to avoid other apps that use plenty of data.

That said I have rolled up 5,9gb data within the last 9mths. And yes I tether to my laptop most of the time.

GeneralOjukwu:


I don't know...you tell me

In line with its status as the game changer in telecommunications services provision in Nigeria, Globacom limited has again taken another step towards the transformation of the ICT landscape in Nigeria with the construction of a multi-billion naira optic fibre submarine cable.

[B]Glo 2,[/b] the road map for the project was unveiled at a contract-signing ceremony between the national operator, Globacom, and global telecom solutions vendors, Huawei at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Tuesday.

According to Globacom’s Regional Director, Technical, Mr Sanjib Roy

“The new submarine cable will be approximately 850 kilometres long and will be integrated to Globacom’s existing terrestrial Backbone Network to provide additional service redundancy”, especially in Abuja and other parts of the country. Glo 2 will have the capacity of 12 Terabytes per second and will provide ultra-high speed connection to oil platforms and communities to empower data coverage and support Enterprise market growth in this part of Nigeria.”

Also speaking, the Managing Director of Huawei Nigeria, Mr Li Beifang, said that:

“Huawei is proud to partner with Globacom to build a revolutionary submarine cable using innovative and leading technology. We believe the cable would bring a new era of digitalization to Nigerian economy”.


Glo2 complements the Glo 1 international submarine cable built by Globacom in 2010. It is the only international submarine cable in Nigeria managed end to end, from Lagos to London, by one Company and currently provides sufficient bandwidth for the West Africa sub-region.
