I work on the internet, so I have to subscribe a decent amount of mobile data every month. I use the Etisalat 20GB data plan which costs about N18,000 monthly, so on the average, I spent about N216,000 In 2014.

I bought 10GB Etisalat every month. I work and study online. I just purchased the first one today. Why can't we have cheaper internet in Nigeria?
Does anybody know a cheaper alternative?

When it comes to mobile data Nigeria, the cost at which we purchase or subscribe for it is day by day becoming high.

The service providers are making a huge profit from the purchase of despite all the complains the youth keep on making to the NCC to help and get an affordable price that can suffice us.
As the year is just about to run out, I look back in retrospect to what i have spent for JUST data subscription in 2014.

From the starting of 2014 to its end, I have spent more than 18k for data in my N9,500 Tecno M3(almost twice the price of the phone) ranging from MTN to Glo,from Glo to Airtel and from Airtel to Etisalat.

So I want to know how much did you (nairalanders) spend for mobile data in 2014?

As for me, I spent just N12K for 12 Months. It includes endless downloads of whatever size both on my phone and browsing with the same phone as a modem with my Laptop, BBM pinging, WhatsApping and any other internet usage.
This cannot be compared with when I used to pay N15K a month for data on my PC alone.

8gb in a month is not too much, if I don't finish it I rollover the following month. Pesin dey do 20gb you no say anything o.

Me i been dey believe say Nigerians as a whole no suppose to dey pay for browsing. These network providers are killing us.

going through this thread has been quite enlightening. Apparently it seems there a lot of rich guys on here
hmmn, see as some guyz they spend where man still they manage to feed

The only suggestions/advice i can give you guys is to
1. Get a java phone for surfing the internet only and browse with operamini the viewing experience is sometimes the same infact for nairaland the viewing experience is exactly the same. If u think it may be slow u could get some java phones with 3g/hsdpa network(e.g nokia 208) which trust me is equally as fast as on some smartphones and even okay 4 downloading atimes. The only con is slower typing but u get to save a whole lot more
2. And if u will need to use the internet on ur smartphone which i know would be inevitable from time-to-time 4 a whole of reasons, use the etisalat payg plan think thats d cheapest 4 now esp. for android users but i hear that would soon be stoped

I must have spent about 500k on the Mobile devices, tablets, laptops, tv e.t.c

handelex:
I spent less especially since etisalat paygo was launched.

They've blocked that thing

I can't remember, buh on average, I spent nothing less than 100k last year.

Best of luck if it's an mtk Android
