PhonesRe: Spectranet Increases Tariff By 100% by dasilva34: 9:39am On Mar 18, 2016
greenhulk:
U are forgetting a few things.

1. Spectranet is a private own company and not a charity organisation.

2. Spectranet is not the only isp in Nigeria so the issue of monopoly is out of the equation. There is always a choice.

3. Naira has fallen so bad that it has become almost worthless. U said they charged 5,000 for 50gb night plan in the past right ? Dude that is a measly $15 for 50gb data. Show me anywhere in the world where that is done. I know u will say it is night plan but it was just there to attract customers. Even the current rate of 10k for 50gb is still not too bad... Unless u show me any other company with a cheaper rate.

I'll give u an example. Last year when tecno Phantom 5 was released, it was sold for 70k. Today (6 months after its release) that same phone is sold for above 100k. Technically the price out to have dropped but it keeps going up. I guess u know why. So why not call NCC to caution tecno. Also last year Samsung g
Flagship phone galaxy s6 was sold for between 120-130K. Today, a year later that same phone is still sold for around 150k (when technically price should have dropped by about 40%) while their new flagship is sold for above 200k. U know why don't u? So call NCC on Samsung. Even pure water, rice, etc price don increase.

So it is expected for spectranet to increase their tarrif, in all honesty they are trying to make their price as cheap as possible. But when u consider the current value of naira then it is innebivatble. We pay them in Naira while they buy their equipments in dollars. They pay their foreign engineers in dollars. And u expect them to charge u $15 for 50gb data. If they were paying 10k to buy a $50 device last year, then this year they paying almost 20k to buy the same $50 device. How do u expect them to balance the books?

4. Spectranet tarrif still remain the cheapest in the country, at least for the heavy users. Unless u can show me any other company with a cheaper rate then ur rant is worthless.
Greenhulk definitely works for Spectranet. I don't see anywhere in the world where data plan prices increases while the data is costant and what is the relationship between fallen Naira and spectranet data plans if I may ask. Are they importing the internet abi? If at all things go bad, I would expect that spectranet reduces for instance 20GB/7,000 to 15GB/6000......in that format but not the same amount of data I pay 7k for now 10k that's using Nigerians and playing on their intelligence because they know we will only complain and no action....Well, Nigeria is changing, enjoy it till it last.
