Airtel joins other telco’s in data price competition, as they slash data prices, see new prices here

At the beginning of the year, we saw the handwriting on the wall and predicted that there will be a major reduction in the cost data prices. It all started with MTN’s acquisition of Visafone which bolstered their network bands and network quality. Then Ntel came along, although Ntel is just operating in select states including Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, their presence is already being felt. These two events and probably the latest data subscriber statics that saw Glo Nigeria accounting for 80% of new data subscribers in Nigeria, are the reasons why we are seeing major data price reduction across all networks, needless to say that the competition is tougher by the day and data subscribers are happy about it. In fact, joyously happy about it, I for one have been down with a phobia I call dataphobia, for some reason, high data cost and exhaustion rate to be specific, I get scared that my data will get exhausted at an odd time and leave me hanging. To avoid this I browse with a minimized browser tray in order to keep an eye on the download and upload rate show by my modems application, if I observe any irregular movement by the download and upload rate I simply disconnect or pull the modem out, crazy me, right? Well, that is past now

so if you have seen the new data rate for the Airtel network here it is ; The new Airtel Data Plans
