Mattswaggz:
After using their data to watch skits and big bum bum online they'll now come and be blaming MTN.....toh MTN no gree say them day steal wuna data ooo. .

Delat521:
Exactly 💯 Airtel seems last longer. I was expecting my data to have exhausted courtesy of mtn I have been using or used to, bit to my surprise I keep browsing as if say na unlimited.

And this stupid mtn once they know you're subscribing for particular bundle they will systematically increase the price by 70% knowing fully you're bond with. They are exploitative in all their dealings thieves. I don port go Airtel

TemplarLandry:
Data spoofing is what you all do.
You go explain tire.

Is it not the same Chinese phones we use for data out of Nigeria in Burkina Faso and Guinea Bissau?

kpankpangolo:
Not my concern. Almost every Nigerian is endlessly scrolling on TikTok. Thank God I use YouTube and choose what I want to watch. I manage my data and have the means to pay for 100 GB subscriptions.

Rapwiz:
Nonsense talk… I remember back then I can use 100Mb for week

DrAda:
Lies and more lies. The govt should do something about this

MakindeHassan:
This is a very generic and typical defensive response of a Nigerian business.

People have also complained about traveling abroad and maintaining the same data consumption habits and it doesn’t drain as fast.

Someone gave an explanation which I believe more, he said when your data network is bad your phone sends request multiple times. Each time that request is broken or gets timed out your phone has to send it again, thereby duplicating your request and accelerating your usage.

Address the bad network.

Rutherinspace:
Have you independently verified the claims you're making, or has a credible independently third party verified them?
There's a difference between questioning a company's position, disagreeing with its claims and outrightly accusing it of lying. Such a serious accusation should be supported by verifiable evidence not merely assumptions, opinions or speculation.

HallahGeisher:
Diabolic liars . If not for the ncc who have since relaxed apart from data finishing fast what of call credit and moreso, anytime you call their call center they will tell you they are experiencing system shut down , a word that has been recorded into the brain of the innocent service agents .

Bluntguy:
All those are true. We know, but you still steal data.

MrGerald:
Do you know when you open your hotspot to another user, it'll consume lots of data because it'll be connected as Wi-Fi and most of the updates queuing in the background would start automatically.

DrAda:
One word: YES. Their rates are among the highest, if not the highest, in the industry. Secondly, the very fact that the company has felt compelled to address this issue suggests that it has received numerous complaints, perhaps far more than other telecommunications companies.

On the flip side, MTN has the largest subscriber base, which could partly explain the volume of complaints. Nevertheless, the concerns are sufficiently widespread to warrant greater transparency regarding how subscribers' data is measured and consumed.
