As the internet market in Nigeria grows, the competition among telecoms companies have been very aggressive recently. Etisalat entered the market just last year and adding to the ever increasing internet packages offered by various telecoms operators. Before this, Etisalat offered internet connection through Pay-as-you-go model. The new products now offer three bundle internet plans in 30 days circle.

  • USB modem & Etisalat data SIM – 14,700 Naira
  • Etisalat 100MB Internet bundle – N1000
  • Etisalat 500MB Internet bundle – N3000

Etisalat 100MB Internet Bundle

Etisalat 500MB Internet Bundle

This package is limited to 500MB over a period of 30days, like the others, if you reach the limit at any given time (even before the 30days), the subscription expires. A good product I must say.

Subscription Cost:N3,000

Who is it for?

An average internet user with moderate uploads and browsing. If you are a big-time “Facebooker”  and “Youtuber” with photo and video uploads, guess the package below is best suited for you.

Etisalat 3GB Internet Bundle

Who is it for?

An internet junkie, avid Facebook and YouTube users! Developers with fewer files to upload/download per month can also find this product okay for their online operations.

To get connected is easy, buy the USB Modem and Etisalat data SIM from their Etisalat experience centre, with just N14, 700, and then you can choose a plan that fits your need. The configuration will be done on the spot for you. Make sure you choose the right plan as changing plans will require that you come to the centre again.

    No i havent tested it. I do have sim for voice call. Within the city of ibadan the signal coverage based on my voice sim is very poor. However am assuming they will be using there current base stations to roll out there data coverage so automatically assumed coverage cant be any better. I guess we'll just have to wait to get real users feedback to see

    Yea! But in Lagos the service is efficient. It's advisable that anyone who want to use the service first confirm the voice quality in his/her area before making the move.

    Thanks man!

    Was this an unbiased opinion? or paid advert, just curious.
    Etisalat has what can be described as "poor coverage". I have there sim which i was hoping to use for voice calls, after a few days of disappearing signals and dropped calls tossed the line kia, kia!
    So except you can afford to be stuck without a connect to the net, i dont think there quite there yet. Besides as the underdog a price incentive would be nice too. Just a thought!
  • Possicon
    This is not a paid review bro.
    The price was covered here not the connection for now! A connection review will be written after I test enough of the subscribers.
    Was your area covered? Have you used/tested the internet connection?
  • mmm... cheap browsing, that may help startups like ours get much more traffic. coz' the easier the connctivity the better the crowd.
  • Possicon
    Yes indeed! Imaging getting connected with as low as 17k?
  • personally, I think it's expensive at the price, even though it's mobile broadband, in places like US and UK, 3GB mobile bundle costs about £15 which is about 3 times cheaper, in Nigeria, it's supposed to be far less than that or at least almost the same price, I have considered some economic factors before making this analysis

    I wouldn't want to think it as a rip off but it's overly expensive
