This is highest price for 1GB, this people should stop lying abeg

U can buy 1GB for N300, so imagine u earn as low as N45k, now compare that to people that buys for $13, how many of these people earn up to $1,500 a month?

Exactly, I once read on this same nairaland that Nigeria has one of the cheapest data price.

You cant blame Nigerian telcos

Nigeria is the only place where you use diesel to power telecoms facilities 24/7 365days in a year where would they write the cost too hence the cost of data. Normally a populated countries like India, China usually have cheap internet.

I'm telling you.. like those online games.. if you see their upgrade you go dey wonder if this people no get conscience..

Even all this apps we use.. you upgrade your UC browser today and in the next three days you get a notification of upgrade again..

It's because data is the least of their worries and it's so cheap but here in naija you no go wan upgrade because you know how much you dey spend on data

In the developed world, healthcare, water, electricity and the internet are now considered essential for human existence. Without access to the internet, mang business will close down

Yet they’re killing us with high price and slowmo network, even extorting us. I was forced to call up MTN customer care service yesterday and insulted the hell out of the representative, I bought 4,000 Naira recharge from my bank and subscribed 3,500 data bundles before I knew MTN had deduct another 200 naira from the 500 remaining they’ve been doing that for sometime now and it’s so annoying.

Wrong target of your tirade. The person you spoke to is definitely not an MTN staff.

in the UK, 3mobile offers what they called 'all you can eat" for only 15 pounds a month. So, it's unlimited. Nigeria is a terrible country for pretty much everything

It's not unlimited o. Especially not 3 network. It's Data capped. Read their Fair Use Policy Terms and Conditions

Just try and calculate how many times you buy 1 thousand 5 hundred naira data of Airtell in a week and tell me how many times you did it if you are a light heavy user like me...

I recharge over 20 k in a week and i am not even downloading movies or sorts oo..only you tube and video calls.

YouTube and Video Calls are data intensive!

You are not getting the point. The person is an employee for another company that is providing contract services to MTN. MTN staff no dey pick up those calls

If you want to use MTN, wait until 3am to 6am... Other times it works, then stops, then works.
