So, let’s compare mobile internet bundles…

So the other day, I was discussing with my younger brother who was going back to University after his “long vac”  and we came to the subject of internet providers in Nigeria. He was sick and tired of using his mobile phone to search for, and access articles on the internet for his project. I thought – why not get one of these mobile internet dongles? You do your research in the “comfort” of a laptop, and you’re not tied down to a building/land phone.

Thus, we decided to compare internet mobile broadband providers, and here’s what we found. We found out that there are 4 major competing service providers (who advertise effectively, and provide sufficient information on their websites.

Modem cost From N5,500 N5,500 N5,000 N12,999 – USB modem + purple 100 hours tariff.
