Internet access remains the bedrock of any successful internet
business, for now, we still have what I call “shadow broadband internet
access” in Nigeria. I do understand that most of us try to get the best,
affordable, and fast internet service in Nigeria. We have highlighted
below prices of internet subscriptions in Nigeria. It’s in two segments;
1st compares the ones offered by telecom operators (GSM) and
then CDMA telecom operators. These services are targeted at small scale
business to personal internet needs (we hope to do a comparison of
corporate internet services).
I have tested virtually all of them and I can say categorically that
they work fine for basic internet needs. Your location is also a pointer
to whether you will get best coverage offered by these firms. In my own
location, most times I get HSDPA and EVDO signals, these are real
broadband (in Nigerian context)!

The bone of contention has largely been the data-cap introduced by
most of the service providers; most people (high-end users) are not very
comfortable with that. In as much as I liked how fast there services
are; I am usually put off by the data limits
They are also good for mobile internet access! The most reasonable of
them all is the ones offered by Zain and Etisalat; 100mb per month at
N1000. I have tried both services, I prefer Etisalat as its stable and
fast. While Etisalat is a big minus if you go out of covered states,
remains the best in states it is present e.g Lagos.
CDMA/EVDO Service providers
Time | Multilinks | Starcomms | Zoom |
50hrs | N3,400; 30days | N5000; 14days | |
100hrs | N5,600; 60days | N6500; Unlimited data | |
250hrs | N9,900; 90days | N15000; 90days Unlimited | |
24hrs for 30days | N9,000; 6Gig Cap | N15950; Unlimited | N10,000; Unlimited data |

Night Browsing | N3,500; 12am-8am 20Gig | N6000; 11pm-7am; Unlimited Data | N5000;11pm-6am; 30days |
I was surprised to discover that Multilinks have data limits on their
services. Their connection is fast and well priced compared to others
but the data cap doesn’t cut it for me.
Starcomms is stable, fast and accessible! But it comes with a huge price compared to others; it is expensive but you get value for money! Recharging your plan is as simple as normal voice call recharge.
For Zoom, am waiting (hope not in vain) for when they will wake up
from their slumber. I first used their internet service (1X) in 2006,
best as at that time and quite a number of people troop onto the network
then came the problem of scaling their service, they failed! For every
installation you had to “Carry” your system to their office to install
the software. Until recently, you have to go to their office to obtain
internet card (which is different from the normal call cards unlike
Starcomms) to recharge your network. I tried it out recently; it was
very fast, apparently because they have lost all their customers to
competitors. Their customer service is way below average; their staffs
are always discussing unnecessary issues and will not attend to you
timely! Are there customer service checks by NCC? Just asking!
Benefit of GSM networks
Imagine traveling to a remote place where you can only make calls?
Well your Starcomms or multilinks may not be available in that village,
but with the GSM service you will still be able to access internet but
at snail speed! So if you are an interstate business person, consider
using the GSM providers’ service.
If you are base in one of the top cities in the country where
CDMA/EVDO operators are based and use the internet heavily, it makes
business sense than the GSM networks.
Over to you, which internet service provider do you use and how reliable?
