Dear Globacom,

I must say that I'm really happy that the data cap on your data plans were increased and we all are quite grateful for that. I also want to thank you for all the bonuses and promos (at least that is what is keeping some of us from porting) .However, with all due respect your data services in most areas are very slow and nothing to write home about. Around my area, It's quite slow and the only place I get to see a full 3G connection is in the toilet and I keep wondering why it has to be the toilet of all places.


Sometimes, when the network speed seems to improve, it would drop drastically in a few minutes .It seems Glo officials in Nigeria have started using other networks to surf the web because the current download speed is enough to wait for the second coming of Christ. I'm sure other subscribers would have their own unfortunate tales to tell about your data services. Most of us don't even use up to half of the plans we paid for before it expires. The network speed is very frustrating. Imagine taking over 25 minutes to download a file of 40MB. I'm actually wondering if the money meant for improving your network's services are being used for entertainment shows instead.


I heard 9Mobile is being sold and you're listed as one of the top 10 companies that want to buy the company. On behalf of other subscribers, Please try to make the deal successful because we all certainly hope it would improve your services nationwide and please don't allow 9mobile's spamming influence your network.

Almost every USSD code dialed on 9mobile returns results as an SMS, please don't impose it on us as we will not hesitate to port. The second thing I believe majority of my fellow subscribers strongly kick against is the fact that you keep calling us with strange numbers every day. You call us more than husbands call their spouses and more than boyfriends call their girlfriends and we wonder if we are actually dating you. It is really annoying and the most painful part of the whole thing is when someone is expecting an important call then you start calling us.


I know some people activated DnD (Do not Disturb) Mode on their respective lines but now you have resorted to calling us as the only way to reach us. I won't say this particular problem is not on all networks but no day on planet earth passes by without any subscriber receiving more than 3 calls from you guys. One day, I was expecting a very important call and my phone was plugged my room and i almost tripped rushing to answer the call only to hear a robot talking to me. I was utterly disgusted.

I'm still trying to understand what type of advertising that is because to the best of my knowledge, an average Nigerian would not spend time listening to a computer on the phone yet you won't put an end to the calls. Believe me, the only time subscribers can really listen to all that computer talk is when we have actually called the customer care line to rectify a problem. We pay you for the services offered to us and we deserve at least a simple code to opt out from all the calls. The ads we see on billboards, social media and on the television is enough for all of us. On behalf of all Glo subscribers, I sincerely ask that you fix these issues .


We do hope you redeem your name from ''Slow With Pride'' and ''Grand Snail Of Data'' to ''Glo with Pride'' , Unlimited or rather as ''The Grand Masters Of Data'' as you call yourself. Forgive my rant , I'm just a frustrated subscriber who wants a better network

Yours Sincerely,

That's a true talk.

Glo is OK for me here. I went to Ilepa Akokan near Ifo, Ogun State yesterday with 2 lines. There were places we reached that only my Glo line had network. Not just network but 3g Network and I browsed effortlessly throughout. I don't understand what this OP is talking about.

Glo is good please

pablobellins:
Wait a minute, did u just say the Airtel Bus works on Android? as in perfectly well?

Yes. Check back. Pasted a guide. Currently using it

If u have a problem with any of the networks, call NCC on 622 and report the issue. It's their toll free line.

shakaragirl:
Glo is good please

Only in Lagos.

Berley:
Dear Naijatechguy,

As some of the people have said why don't you just dump the network and move on. Do you think that your rantings are going to change anything for yourself or all your fellow complainers. Looks like you have taken a lot pain to document your grievances. In today's day and age if you get no joy there is no need for this, all you need to do is change your sim or port out to a network of your choice. Being a tech guy,as you call yourself,I am sure you know all that. So then what is the purpose of your long epistle. Get a sneaky feeling that you have been paid for this stupid attack by someone who is jealous of what Glo is offering its subscribers. From a happy subscriber!

Lol bro well. I won't say I haven't used Glo when it's fast but for the past two months its been quite unbearable browsing with it. I subscribed for the two months plan and i have not even used up to half yet. Apart from that , I didn't add the fact that all websites created with Blogger do not open on Glo. currently so I'm actually very disappointed with the network right now.

Daeylar:
All Glo subscribers,??
Nigerians really need to Learn to speak for themselves
Speak for yourself op

Glo network is one of the fastest and most stable network here, if not the most.

That said glo can improve, it's not reasonable when you network is good in one part of the country and not good in another part, but don't make it seem like Glo is terrible every where.

A file to 40mb wouldn't even take up to 2 minutes to download where I am.

Where is your area?

glo has always been a useless network since day 1. the poor data service makes me switch to another reliable network for years and didn't regret it

gholy292:
For me I'll stick with my Airtel 4GB for 1k monthly plan which is still fair enough since it reach me to download my series and browse for almost a month on my phantom 5

For real..
kindly help me with the code
Reliability over useless quantity all-day/everyday
#TeamAirtel

I'm just happy that anywhere I go I always get 3G network on Glo. I know some people complain about the data reception but I'm always lucky to always be where the network is ultra fast and it's dope mehn!

Sincerely glo had shown high esteem towards consumers

matrixme:
Stop writing an open letter to glo when there are other better networks for browsing. Their internet is pound wise, penny foolish. Airtel 3gig Bis still working on Android is 1,000. MTN data resell starts from 600 naira. You don't have to address their owners or write long speech to liberate yourself.

Guy please what's the code

gholy292:
lies airtel is much more better I get 1.5GB for 200naira and also 500MB for 25naira and then 4GB for 1k these are their best data plan I must confess

Abeg what are the codes
Help a brother

drabeey was HERE

thought this happens to just me, I've experienced this times without number, I have to do something else until there is power outage before I start to access the internet, it's really frustrating.

thrillionaire:
I wonder how come a lot of people complain about globacom. The network is excellent everywhere I've being in the past 2 years. from Abuja to Jos to IMO state... even while traveling past states I'm able to browse with decent network.

Well, glo should listen to these complaints and up their game in affected areas. For me, I enjoy glo so much (with just little network downtime though).

My brother I tire for Nigerians oooooo

Nigerians will always exhibit that Stockholm syndrome for their Enemies (MTN AND THE REST) and hate what belongs to them for no reasons (GLO) , for me GLO has been wonderful.

NaijaTechGuy:
Lol bro well. I won't say I haven't used Glo when it's fast but for the past two months its been quite unbearable browsing with it.
