Normally when it comes to cheap data plans I always tell people that Nigeria is one of the countries with the cheapest data plans in the world and I haven’t been too far from the truth. Take a look at at this graph from Statista.

Countries With The Cheapest Data

Nigeria ranks 4th in the list of selected countries with the cheapest data plans.

While a gigabyte of data would set Italian smartphone users back $1.73, the same amount would cost $2.22 in Nigeria, $2.99 in France, $6.66 in the United Kingdom and $6.96 in Germany. Costs are even higher in North America where they average $12.02 in Canada and $12.38 in the United States.

So should we give our Network Providers some accolades for giving us the cheapest data plans in the world?

Nope. Definitely not worth a standing ovation especially if you check the fact that we have one of the slowest 4G speeds in the world.

Nigeria’s top 4G speed is placed between 9.5Mbps and 16.2Mbps, while Algeria’s slowest speed of 2.6Mbps is the worst in the world.

However here’s the plot twist, the country with the slowest 4G speed – Algeria’s top download speed of 16.4Mbps still beat the fastest speeds in Thailand (11.7Mbps), India (14.6Mbps) and Nigeria (16.2Mbps).

Now I feel they only deserve the accolades for constantly zapping our data. Nevertheless I feel ISP’s in Nigeria can definitely do better than this.

Cable.co.uk also revealed a more comprehensive list.

Cheap data plans are the one best things you can find on the internet and now I’ve compiled a list of cheap data plans you can use during this period to save you more money and make you enjoy surfing the web from the comfort of your home.

Cheap Data Plans For GLO:

We all complain of Glo everytime but if it’s not slow in your location then you should be using the Glo special data plan that gives you N200 for 1.2GB to last you for 3 days, and N800 for 5GB to last you for 12days. You can repeat the process once your current plan expires.

It works on all devices and works best on 4G devices.

Glo Heavy users Package:

If you are a heavy user and Glo network is strong in your location, then I’ll recommend you use the OGA SIM Data Bundle

Glo Ogasim gives you 125% bonus data whenever you recharge your line before your current plan expires

When you recharge with N1000, you get 4.8GB. N2500 gives you 14.4GB to last you for 30 days which you can always roll over.
