Hello NL, i have been having this experience with Airtel.

Whenever I bought data, the value of the data I will be able to use is just 50℅.

For instance, if I bought night bundle 25 for 250mb, after downloading something of 125mb, the mb will just vanish.

I thought it was a mistake from their night plan so I stop using Airtel for night plans.

Recently i decided to buy sme data plans and i discovered the fast data drainage so I thought maybe they are just doing it so that people will not buy sme data.

But something came to my mind, i.e to determine experimentally how much data I was always given and also to prove or disprove my assumption that that they are draining sme data fast as a way to make people not buy sme data.

So I decided to risk N50 for 40mb normal data plan from Airtel themselves, by then I have already put something of about 30mb in my download list so that I will start it immediately after purchasing the plan.

Lo and behold

After 20mb downloaded, it stopped moving so I decided to off DATA and check data,
Guess what, Data was GONE

Conclusion : Airtel gives 50℅ value of the data you bought.

You're absolutely right.

Sub for the 200 Naira 1 Gig weekly data, lo and behold after downloading Company Portal on my work station, reply to few chats and log on Facebook, everything went back to zero.

Strangely enough it was less than 24 hours...

Download an app that will let you monitor the amount of data you use

Seriously u are not alone ajeh,dat's why i change to mtn and glo but glo is the best

Airtel used to be after my Life.. Until I switched to Glo last week.

And yes i love it!

it's not just airtel , mtn does such. After 250mb sub one can't access the last 20 to 40mb

Airtel are criminals. This is what NCC should be regulating instead of giving us fake virus warnings.
