1800 Naira equivalent in today's term is what i used to pay for Unlimited Internet (Always 1080p without buffering) along with unlimited National calling.

Customer gets Real service over there.

That's because it costs a lot to bring the internet to the people

All those generators powering the telecom mast.....they don't get free fuel to power them.

That's not the reason. Its majorly because of the tax levied on them by the government. Those tax are heavy. The government extort them a lot.

For yankee, you get unlimited call, unlimited texts and 12GB mobile data per month for just $300 per year. If u need more data just top up https://www.mintmobile.com/product/03-month-large-sim-card-plan/ . Imagine, some people still dey flash eachother for only Nigeria for this world.
Why would you even need more data when u already have unlimited data at home for just $50 and free data at work or in many restaurants, cafes,libraries and anywhere else around you? I said this about 8 years ago -telecoms companies dey milk una for naija, same way Nepa dey keep una for stone age.

funny how u were deceived by an unknown source,while major sources says Nigeria data is far cheaper than that of South Africa...south Africa data cost is almost 4 times more expensive than Nigeria's.


America has one of the most expensive internet in the world..
Which unknown source? Have you used those mentioned countries internet bundle plans before?

Your calculation turns out to be $25 per month.
Which is about N10,000 monthly. It's similar price&Data in UK.

Do you have N10,000 monthly to pay?
Hmm. Na money O.

They will tag you enemy of progress for this statement whereas it is the reality
Which reality? how many times do you see these telecom in Nigeria doing routine maintenance in your area, what they know is to put diesel into the generator and they're gone.
I have seen what's called routine maintenance in other countries, with high tax and their internet service is greater than that of Nigeria. If you care to know there was dumsor in Ghana close to 4 years just like what Nigeria is currently in but data was cheap and internet service very fast despite the fact the cost of diesel was very high and high taxes than Nigeria. Nigerians like too much irrelevant excuses.

I'm telling you.this was in 2017 oh.Only God knows how developed that city must be by now.When you see their airport, you will know that our international airport is a big mess.The airport in mumbai is a masterpiece.moved from adisababa,to Mumbai then to chainai.infact adisababa airport is heaven compare to our own international airport.

Stayed in chainai for over six months and for once I never experienced power cut for one day.we are really in darkness over here.
Do you know that you get a bus ticket just once for a week.once you show them the tickets they just sign on it and let you in.though some day we use uber to get to our destination fast.I can go on and on and on.
India is too far, when i visit accra in one of my travels I stayed 1year complete from Monday to Sunday, no light off, not to talk of light out.
There's difference between light off and light out.
Light off, maybe a technical fault from your area or maybe need to recharge but light out, there's no light which is the one we experience in Nigeria.

Things are still a little different, and that sure does attribute to the cost of internet in Nigeria. For example, in Nigeria almost all internet access is via mobile data/network. While, in most other places internet access is via wired fiber optics. So every home/apartment here has a wired network coming in that connects to a router. And the router supplies the rest of the house. So it's cheaper to have unlimited internet. Everything runs off the internet, so unlimited is a must! So until Nigeria gets to that point, the cost of internet access will continue to be high.
