₦airaland Forum

For over a month now, I have been having hitches browsing with glo network on chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, both on mobile and on computers.

I noticed that I can't access the "religious", "new" features on nairaland with glo, I also can't modify and open some selected topics.

A times after modifying a topic, I can't open that thread again with glo.

But the glo network only works on Ucweb, Opera Mini.

This has forced me to dump glo for MTN that works perfectly in all the browsers. I used to do the N8000 glo subscription per month, but due to this issue, I did the N5k subscription & the last one I did was that of N1k subscription, while going for MTN bulk subscription which has been serving me perfectly.

Nairalanders, please who else is experiencing these problems of browsing with glo on Nairaland? Kindly share your experiences.



UPDATE:

It's now working well on chrome.
Firefox still has hitches. The "religion" & "new" features not opening on Firefox. Any suggestion?

I am not understanding

Glo na network

Ruin Your World, Glo with pride.

Lala, how much MTN pay you to advertise them?


I think someone else is experiencing this.

classicB, I think this is what you experienced when you said this.

classicB:
I dunno what's wrong with nairaland. I can't even open the thread again. I had to create another one

You use Glo?

I for say 'karma is a b**ch' but u no dey ban anyhow lyk dat oda guy.
But sha I pray make dem restrict u 4rm celebrities section too make BBNaija news reduce small

Glo, Slow with pride!

Its easy ,I use glo too .
Its not just Nairaland ,other sites too.

I am a programmer so I found a work around .

My hypothesis : Glo tends to block some specific links when it has or passes too many requests , or seems suspicious in any way ,or takes time to load (in some instances).I can't really say why , but they block some links/pages,even on other sites.

Solution:
1.Get a vpn software , there are free ones you can use ,Opera for PC (the latest version) has an inbuilt vpn switch,it solves the problem of not being able to access certain pages,or links .
2.If you don't have a VPN software or dont want to get one , you can "trick" GLO or send a dummy request.
For example , you want to access www.nairaland.com/religion
Change it to www.nairaland.com/relgion/? or www.nairaland.com/relgion/?anything=anything
3.You can resolve it again by adding double slashes at the end of the link eg
https://www.nairaland.com/lalasticlala//

NOTE:Depending on the way the site is built 2 and 3 might not work , but 1 always works .
