Be like Glo is the best data option currently.. Will sub glo next to see!
You’ll regret it, and don’t you think I’ll not say I told you so if you come here weeping.
I am not surprised that MTN lost some of it’s customer to other telcos when they continue to increase the cost of their data.Unless they do something drastic, the trend will definitely continue.y spend 1300 for 2gb data when I can get 4gb Data for 1k??
Yes o… I am among those glo gained ?
MTN will bounce back with the new Mpulse plan. But aside that, Glo will continue to gain more subscribers cos it’s the grandmaster of data truly
This good for this STINGY MTN that can’t give cheap data and call, all they are after is gain, interest…glo should just work on their Network speed
Sorry Mtn…. Glo is better
I’m gonna go the Glo way this month
Glo is actually a no goproblem area for me
Good results. The best thing is just to have about 4 networks. If Anyone misbehave, u dump it.
Not surprising at all. Have been flexing my Glo for over four months now. Stingy MTN
glo will give u data but u wont use it…slow like snail
I Pray MTN lose more customers Stingy MTN.
and i’m praying Glo work on ur network.
I noticed improvements in Glo internet speed recently. Tnx God that dy have listening ears
Currently enjoying glo data. I was really suprise that service is a lot better with their 4g lte sim
Still prefer MTN to Glo
Mpulse is becoming frustrating. Next bus stop should be glo
They will loose more
Well, I am not surprised. They had it coming. To give cheap data sef is problem.
For those who want to start Datashare Business,
Mtn no try oo
People are now realizing that MTN are trickish set of people, there way is not straight.. I hope glo really improves and maintain their services.
