I currently alternate between Spectranet and Swift and I’m satisfied with they speed. My monthly consumption is between 30GB - 45GB and I have a data hungry spouse that prefers Netflx to Africa Magic.
However, I just stumbled on this by GLO…
Saving the extra box would be cool as well as the extra data for netflix which would win me some extra LOVING (+18). 
I’ll let someone else comment on Glo. However, if an unlimited datacap interests you, then you should look at MTN HyNet. Thank me later.
Theirs is more expensive than Spectranet/Swift. They don’t stand a chance with business consumers.

It is not a trap or fortune situation though.
Pros
The good thing about the ongoing ‘data crash war’ is many Nigerians can actually ‘get online’ and experience the power and beauty (ignoring the negativity) of internet. What’s not to be happy about when additional 10-20million Nigerians (assume i pulled these numbers from the air) can join the internet. This is great, right?
Cons
Think infrastructure. No provider can lay a claim to having anything decent in Nigeria. Let’s ignore the fact that things are pretty bad when it comes to infrastructure in Nigeria. These telcos are actually making space-sized money from Nigeria yet they can’t invest in decent infrastructure. Remember when there’s ‘too much load’ on a transformer, it blows up, literally. For internet providers, when too many users get on their network, the service (speed) drops, literally.
Conclusion
This is shaping up to be a zero-sum game. Reduce price of data, subscribers flock to your network like bees of flowers. Too many subscribers on a creaking infrastructure, the speed drops. When the speed drops, the subscribers vote with their wallet. So who wins?
Ever since i returned to Nigeria, i have had major issues with the internet service. At this time of our lives we shouldnt be paying for data rather we should be paying for speed. The data cap should be erradicated totally. The change was super terrible, imagine going from Virgin Media 100MBps with unlimited data to spectranet 40GB data and max 2MBps, i mean Google is actually loading… like Google… why on earth would google homepage load.
Anywho…
i have been using the glo new subscription plans and am impressed. i got the 10gb fo 2.5k and it has actually lasted more than a week. I was using airtel 3GB for 1.5k and i activate it every week or 2 weeks if i dont use it because the data finishes like you never had it. My only problem with glo is that the 3G network goes off and on randomly. The speed is trash according to me tho, you might enjoy it who knows…
Infrastructure for Telcos are sadly not handled by them, they give it to Guys like Huawei and IHS Towers who handle Towers, Base Station, Data Tier Centers and Technology and Software update for IVR, VAS, Data, Voice etc.
This guys just pay for the running cost while eating billions from us, well the ISP have been hitting them hard and with the fear of a new player running strictly on 4G and higher Broadbrand Spectrum, they are crashingg price to hold on to customers.
its just begun.
well said… Glo’s network used to be super fast (like light) but it has been terrible since last week…
I have been unable to use 30mb of my 10gb plan - my subscription is 3 days old now. I am using an MTN " side data plan" to type this right now
