Globacom data services came up today after about a week of outage. However, a quick trip to Ikeja (Lagos Mainland) yesterday gave me a little insight to the extent and spread of these outages. It seems to be more frequent on Lagos Island as subscribers on the mainland seemed unaffected.

The sad part of it all is that users are in no way being compensated. It is even on record that only Glo network refused to compensate its subscribers after the last general RIM Blackberry outage.

What exactly is happening to Globacom, Nigeria’s pride? Much as I hate it, I have since switched to MTN while hoping Glo will not suffer yet another data outage. The question now is “Can a leopard change its skin?”
