frankly speaking the data bundle should be upped from 3 gigabyte to 5 gigabyte and all free browsers should be unplugged from the networks not 90%.How many of these gsm/cdma networks carry out network optimization regularly.One should get value for his or her money.Shouldn’t NCC do something about network overcrowding?.

I’m down with the idea of reducing download speed for heavy users after the 3GB data threshold is passed. Revisiting the free browsing thing, I think MTN just doesn’t want to spend the heavy amount needed to get 90 – 95 percent of the free browsers off their network.

We that paid for night browsing are suffering. Thank God, I only paid 2,500 naira. My subscription expires soon and I’ve only used 1GB imagine. Each time you try to connect, the stupid remote computer is never available.

Each time the gsm operators claim that the reason we have barely useable internet (slooww) connectivity is because of network congestion (and people who should know better – agree with them), I am amazed!

It is noteworthy that, during the periods when Zain (then CelTel) was testing their gprs service (for over a year), the service was VERY STABLE and eminently useable. Celtel was not charging for internet access during that test period, so I imagine the traffic @ that time must have been @ its peak. The speed was better than what we have now!

How come that, even @ night when the network should be (and actually ARE) relatively free, we still have sloooww internet commexion?

In my days of the night browsing belt on Starcomms/MultiLinks, there was still the very slooow (and hardly useable) internet connection!

I want to believe that, while network congestion may be a reason for the ‘less-than-impressive’ speeds we are being offered, it is not the MAJOR reason.

In Nigeria, there must be another, more significant reason why you have sporadic / intermittent bursts of speed on practically all the networks, followed by prolonged periods of epileptic internet service.

There have even been periods – where a ‘paid-for’ data bundle fails to connect for days, whereas an alternative ‘free browsing’ connection method keeps working.. (** ducks **). How do we explain this
