Dangers of connecting to Free Public Wi-Fi Networks

2019 has been a crazy year for internet users in Nigeria, as alot of cheap data offers where introduced, ranging from MTN , to Airtel , 9Mobile , and Glo - 'The Grandmasters of Data'. We hope this new data phenomenon has come to stay in Nigeria; because sometimes this internet service providers do this just to entice users to be a part of their platform, and in no time they stop the offer that made the subscriber consider been a part of the network in the first place. However, we must say data cost in Nigeria has depricated alot; but in honest truth of the matter, data are still pretty much expensive. Yeah, I mean expensive. Come to think of this scenario.

This one we talk of downloading in Gigabytes, not even Megabytes.) In due ti...

Glo Subscribers can now browse on 4G LTE Band 3 (1800) Frequency

Image
Am so delighted to announce to you that Glo has finally added Band 3(1800) to their 4G LTE Frequency . In Nigeria, most cheap Android smartphones do not support Band 28(700) and it is been a major challenge to Glo subscribers, because it's one thing to use a 4G-Enabled Android phone and it's another thing for your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be in support with the phone's available 4G LTE Frequency. And that has been a major issue with Glo, unlike other ISP who already runs on Band 3(1800), the wildest 4G LTE Frequency, but Glo was still on Band 28(700) which was pretty frustrating!
