If you are on Windows OS, background updates are automatically going on without you knowing.

MTN should talk true, since they started this increment madness, 7gb don't last me a week. I don't watch online video with MTN data, I use glo for that, I only connect my phone to my laptop to read emails and work, apart from that nothing else, I don't even download. I will just receive messages from MTN, you have 78 MB left. Only God will help us in this country.

We need assurances stop telling us "we have no need to steal your data" everyone knows data is the business.

MTN network is everything but poor


Try leave ogbomosho cave and move elsewhere

Dey talk rubbish... Even for some towns mtn no good there

You have every reason to

COMPAQ:
1 single app update can chop that data?

Which app update? Their network was poor, couldn't do anything. Why didn't the app update while using Glo data? Or is MTN Data reserved for updates?

Na una sabi e no concern me

Ok...

After increasing tarrif before you open one file or watch video you don de get low data..Wat is the perimeter you people are using to deduct data sef?? Nigerians needs to know

Thieves.

Why are they bringing MTN Ghana here? Don't we have problems with Nigeria's. Nigeria mtn made sure they forced everybody's "Always On" plan expire with data on it (167GB in my case. Can you believe it?) and then few weeks later they brought it back inns clean slate 50% higher rate. I had 20k in my account to pay 100% increase in data because the 167gb I'd been accumulating for over 2 years meant more to me.

Every time I think I've seen the worst that Nigeria would do to me, they manage to do even more. I'm now numb and unable to fight back. I've bought their new 9k Always On plan after one month of instability which has made me lose all the 20k I initially put in the account, plus a concurrent Airtel always on plan too, because both networks have become much worse since they jacked up prices. Over 30k gone from this instability and the last time I earned one naira from sales to Nigerians was November last year.

What a tragedy to be trapped in this hell hole

na soo ooo. even the laptops are always using data. all those apps are taking data without your knowledge

COMPAQ:
The reality is that the majority are ignorant.

Let me tell you some reasons why peoples data deplete.

1. Apps are set to auto update and they don't know.
2. Their WhatsApp, Instagram etc are set to auto download pictures and videos and they don't know. Majority of those videos in the apps are videos they will never watch, if ur busy and in plenty groups where they inundate you with one video or the other.
3. Youtube set to auto, so when network improves, it will be streaming at 1080p, when 480p on a small, high resolution device is probably ok.
4. If their data is sharable, people can be stealing their data without them knowing. Like your kids, bothers, your shop boys etc

You Gen Z folks spend hours a day on Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram, Tik Tok, watching all manner of HD content, then you will be complaining that your data is finishing quickly. What do you expect!!

Whatever they say they did,, they did that sh8t

But the same MTN just stole my 2G today and funny enough, it is when I decided to off my data just to manage the remaining 2G they now reacted. I got 6G just 2 or 3days ago and decided to monitor it and when it was 3G left yesterday, I started putting my data of and stop visiting insta, TikTok and the likes but later checked and it was 2G left just for me to on data today and use part of the 2G it was gone. Nonsense people with self centered government

Nothing like stealing of data , smartphone uses data to operate it's like one saying Lister sound proof generators consume diesel, if it doesn't consume diesel na water we go drink before hahahaha funny people everywhere make una rest , up your hustle a stage will come data and food prices no go dey be your problem

chidiokay:
We understand smartphones consum data, But network provider also " zapp" data

how do you explain the variation between airtel, mtn and glo rate of consumption

yesterday i checked my data volume before downloading a 270mb movie ... when i re-checked glo don comot 470mb how do you justify that

No scientist can take your word as evidence.

Do you know you can check how much each app on your phone consumes?

You need to provide empirical evidence.

You are obviously a novice.

Windows 10 and above dey chop data. You can be idle but it's running background update that eats gigabyte of data.

i am tech savvy small, i turned off all app background data useage except for the idm downloader just to ensure true report

checking what the apps consume is not as tenable as testing directly with a download

whether scientist take it or not ... it does negate my observation or truth, try it and show me its not true

But the network is seriously bad to the extent that without use it, the data will drain while rolling or roaming

You're very correct.

But then, most people are just not logical.

9mobile are really doing well…no network for almost 2month plus now…qundus to 9mobile

Nazgul:
I exhaust close to 20GB every week. I do load 75GB every month and as weired as it might sound, it finishes before the end of the month.

MTN are just criminals. I don't blame them though, we have a government that doesn't care about her citizens.

Why not opt for the 800GB annual plan? That would work out cheaper for you than the 75 GB monthly.

Exorbitant data

800/12 is 66. So I'll have to manage 66GB every month for 12 months.

If I'm complaining that 75GB monthly isn't enough, 66GB would be worse.

So aside the fact that the 800GB yearly would be much cheaper than paying 20k every month for 75GB, it still wouldn't solve my problem.

If they had like a 1.5TB plan, one can consider it.

Well, not necessarily. I don't know your actual usage, but let's say you use 100GB every month, then that 800GB will run out in 10 months and it would have cost you just 125k, roughly ~10k per month, compared to 20k monthly that currently gives you 75k which isn't sufficient.

They do have a 1.5TB annual plan, but it's 450k so I personally don't see it as value for money compared to the 800GB for 125k.

This makes more sense. Spending 120k every 10 months makes more sense than spending 200k.

Thanks.
