Glo now offering the cheapest internet service in Nigeria...

Yea... you heard it here first! Glo telecoms Nigeria with its 30% bonus on it's internet service might be the cheapest internet solution at the moment but we can't provide any guarantees on the service quality or data throughput (you might need to judge that yourself or see our earlier post - 7 things you should know before buying a modem this season..).
GLOBACOM announced that the new Glo Bolt Internet modem has been loaded with spectacular free benefits including a free Glo SIM card; 500 MB of data once the SIM is registered and activated. The package will also have free monthly data for six months for new and existing data subscribers on the Glo network.
According to Glo, new and existing subscribers who subscribed to any of the pocket friendly plans such as Always Macro, Always Min, Always Max, the Silver, Gold or Platinum plans will get a 30 per cent instant bonus and 200 MB free data every month for six months. The free data will be automatically given to the subscriber as soon as he/she activates a plan of N1, 000 and above each month.

Globacom’s GM, Marketing, Ashutosh Tiwary, said that Glo Bolt thrives on “speed and performance and, with the service, the subscriber is always a winner because we recognize that speed is a driver of value”.
Tiwary said that Glo Bolt offers unparalleled value since the cost of the modem has been significantly reduced and bundled with a free SIM and 500 MB free data on activation. “Our innovative plan sharing and plan gifting capability will also make Glo Bolt the Internet service of choice in the market”, Tiwary added.
On the gifting feature, Tiwary said a Glo customer can now buy an Internet subscription and send it to friends, family members and loved ones as ‘gifts’. This feature is especially useful when the person buying the gift does not want to share his subscription with the intended recipient. The gift recipient will be notified of the gift via customized SMS from the sender. The sharing feature allows up to five Glo customers to share one data plan.
Also speaking on the subscription plans, Tiwary explained that the sharing feature offers the subscriber convenience and affordability by enabling him to share his internet subscription with his friends, family and loved ones instead of buying multiple subscriptions for each and every one of them.
“For instance, a customer with a wife and two kids can buy only one subscription plan and share with his three loved ones instead of buying four subscription plans. The beneficiaries will receive an SMS notifying them of the shared plan and how they can share the plan. The customer just needs to visit http://hsi.glo.com from his Glo line to access the new world-class self-care portal through which the customers can use all the new functionalities. Only Glo offers a Self Care Portal for its Data & BlackBerry customers,” he explained.
