All we are saying… give us cheap data plans with fast internet connection.
Abi data is just expensive in Nigeria
not surprised for that of glo.
Mtn will always gain more subscribers, their network is more stable and reliable than others
nothing surprising here for GLO. their network hasn’t been up to par.
I am not sure What’s going wrong with 9mobile, i guess their data isn’t cheap enough but for glo they duly deserve the down turn of subscribers. As far as I’m concerned i believe everything is wrong with glo. I’m even surprised we still have over 25 Million subscribers on glo network. Mtn still the King of the park.
MTN will always top this people
Glo own is understandable but what is 9mobile excuse for losing subscribers. Perhaps they should consider reducing their data costs while glo improves their network service
Glo never see anything
Them just dey start… They are yet to see the real deal
Am not surprised for them
Its not surprising at all. Infact, its either they improve on their service or watch as they lost more subscribers
To me all these subscriber loss are just token and they cant feel or noticed any changes in lost of subscriber because the Million digit are not changing its just some hundred, if the loss is about 2-5 millions, they will sit right
Can’t say I’m suprise
Thank God. I want glo to lost more since they has refused to to work on their network.
Glo is paying for cutting down ? in the size of their data bundle plans and for snail ? speed 3G internet service
Very soon glo will be nothing to write home about.
9mobile i think there data bundle is on the high side thats why
Good for them. Silly companies
Am nt really surprised y glo has lost so many subscribers..
Ntel has stolen dre subscribers
Mtn is expensive but their network is normal. As long u have the money to subscribe it. I can’t count how many times I dumped my glo sim including the data inside.
Serves them right. Yeye network
MTN and airtel are just the best for now.
I see glo Internet subscribers dropping below 10 million may be that will send sense to them and do something about their useless network
MTN is just too good but they should just open one loop hole and look the other way, let guys flex data small naa. Let them give us World cup awoof
for glo i am not suprised but for 9moblie i guess many have not discovered this cheap 9mobile bundle 1gb for #200 gotten by dialing *929*10# that is what i have been using, serves me well on my phone
that’s good for them all this stingy stingy network
I don’t know what’s happening to Glo, they used to be so good but now there data bundle is trash to me.
