Mine is flowing normally. Stop buying 5GB and hoping it will last a month when online videos are now addictive. I buy 40GB and top it up whenever the month ends. I also ensure to use Wi-Fi options where available. The only times I complain about data are in low signal areas.

I've noticed it as well.
4GB data on 9mobile didn't last two days max, no heavy surfing or nothing..
What is going on?
There's no sector growing in this country
Question is where did u see 9mobile network to use?
I have data but can't do anything with it.

They steal not just data but credits in your phone. They have gone haywire. And the hooligans in power must be in the know

Download Data Eye and say no to arbitrary usage of your data. The app lets you choose which apps can use data. So whatever app you restrict from using data will not be able to use data even if your data is switched on and you're using the app. I remember a particular time the app disconnected, my phone's background apps used 100inch diameter straw to suck my data for unnecessary update and the likes.
Background apps restriction is indeed what a lot of people have to initiate to conserve mobile data usage but many don't know this fact. Those mobile phone updates are insidious data drainers.

Most especially MTN.
I experimented with this on 2 occasions, between GLO and MTN. 4 phones and 1 TV. TV YouTube/Netflix nonstop, phones 2 YouTube, 2 normal surfing. Total exhausted data on Glo 11GB, MTN 29GB.
If you don't mind the speed, Glo is the best at this hard times

I subscribe Glo 10gb for 2k week and it lasts me for a week.. Sometimes I don't even exhaust. This is impossible with MTN

10gb can't even last me 3 days on MTN
Re: Why Is Our Data Draining Fast? by themanderon: 5:44pm On Mar 16, 2025
I remember those days when we used to do 2500 naira 3gig subscription night plan on Mtn for a month around 2011-2013 period. This 3gig used to last for almost a month and it was only on YouTube that I used to browse with the data.
Something has gone terribly wrong that 20gig just gets exhausted while not doing much.
Ncc has claimed severally that people should check what they do online but there is more to what's happening.
This network providers are cheating. I can bet on it

Call or WhatsApp 08033842433 for your unlimited data at a very cheap price

Nigerian youths...smh 😒

Instead of posting this on X and making it go viral while tagging both the network providers and govt agencies concerned, we're here on Nairaland that they neither read nor have accounts on.

Just in case none of you have thought about it, social media, especially X appears to be the most potent (maybe even the only) tool for social change available to us in this country as youths. Let's use it.

Mtn will give me like 4gb Bonus dat i can use only from 12am watching U tube

While using it i observed dat dey will deduct from the bonus and also from my main data

I complained to deir customer care several times but no remedy.... I have to switch to glo

I think glo is more honest dan mtn , only dat deir network is slow.
Yeah Glo is the best in terms of friendly data consumption

The best way to cut cost in this hard time is subscribe to Glo and then do a little sub on MTN anytime Glo is misbehaving
Re: Why Is Our Data Draining Fast? by chatinent: 6:26pm On Mar 16, 2025
MTN is the most fraudulent. They will charge you even when you switch off the phone. Turn it on and you'll see messages of data usage.

Firsthand experience.

Since Telecommunication networks in Nigeria increased their data tariffs, I have not been able to enjoy the value of my money 5GB of data can't even last a whole day surfing X, Facebook and WhatsApp
I have also noticed they secretly steal or deduct data from their customers, this is so painful coupled with the hardship we go through just to subscribe our phones, how will remote workers cope or people who try to earn online? huh embarassed

You didn't present any evidence that your data is being stolen. The only way to get an evidence is to install a data usage monitor on your phone to monitor your data usage. And then download a certain file size and check whether the reading on the data monitor app matches with the file size you downloaded.

Yeah, they do but theirs is 40gb for 1month @ N7500. You are credited 1.33gb daily for 1month. It's been so far. Just dial *312# and go to data plans to check item 8 for everyday plan.

Becos the price of everything they currently purchase or consume has increased by at least 200% since Tinubu came in.

Sometimes you consume data in the background without knowing. Install a data usage monitor and see for yourself what is consuming your data.
