Glo now provides the cheapest Internet Service in Nigeria
Internet access is key to conducting business online for business owners and the consumers. The cheaper and easier people can get online the better the chances of patronizing your internet service.
The leading internet service provides in the country have been operating more or less like a cartel, same price for same bandwidth across the board. Bad!
In the current market prices, this remains the cheapest. This is a sign that Glo1 Cable will surely disrupt the market and possibly drag down the prices.

starcomms for life!!!
lolz!
lolz!
jo oooooo, emi o le fi glo we starcomms oh… i no fit compare starcomms with any internet service in Naija… Starcomms for life joooo
One thing that has helped starcomms so far is its focus on key business areas in the country. I want to believe you guys are based in Lagos. The flexibility product like glo offers is the ability to move around any state you are and still be able to use the service. Am not advertising them though!
I still don't see how it is the cheapest
With the market rates in the industry, this remains the cheapest!
I'm surprised that Glo with Glo1 can't offer unlimited data plan. They seem to think like a GSM company rather than the only functional national carrier.
You know, they are still enjoying the tea party. When they time comes they run after content provider and slash their price.
I don't think Glo is cheapest multilinks and starcomms still cheaper with unlimited data plans
It's the cheapest really. But so annoying that this is the kind of price we're still seeing after all the noise about fibre optic cable.
yea! that is a serious abservation. probably they still want to continue milking customers.

Starcomms Data services is stil the best for now.
I have been trying to use the service for the past one week and I am sorry to announce that this service is not up to scratch. I thought Glo just launched a fibre optic cable link for better service? Whatever the case is, they need to do something fast about this atrocious service.
10k for 5GB, ill rather use swift and pay 15k for unlimited bandwith. even though the initial cost is high.
Lolz. If Swift have mobile modem, it will make sense. I think they(Glo) have
also done a review of their prices. I will post an update.
Yes i agree with you. for me glo has been offering the cheapest call rates to all networks. as for mtn, well i dont even recharge that line
