Why Do Networks Lag After Heavy Subscription? by DeJoeee(op): 7:53pm On Oct 01, 2025
Airtel and Glo are fond of this. With small subscription the network will be flowing freely.

Once you just do unlimited plan on airtel.

They will start to throttle the speed and tell you that fair usage policy applies

I experienced this thing first hand on Glo yesterday. I was informed that there were very cheap data plans if you buy from the glo app. On installing the app I instantly got a free 75GB Bonus. From 8AM - 11PM I couldn't download a 3.5GB file, even udemy videos were rolling with never ending loops. As soon as the bonus expired I bought a 10GB weekly plan. And I was able to download a 6GB file in an hour, udemy videos are now playing.
