RE: South Africa, Leading economy in Africa, Also leads in data prices.

How much is R599 in USD? I need a very fast internet. Most internet service providers have a very slow connection here.

Sort:  

@dragonslayer109 knows best the exchange rate in SA. I think it's R599 is about $40.

Fourty ($40) is quite expensive to spend on data for the month, in my opinion. When one of my younger brothers was taking some online courses at the National Open University, my parents were paying 10,000 NGN (about 30 USD)/month for unlimited data plan for him using smile network. Unfortunately, smile unlimited lite plan is only available in 8 Nigeria cities

  • Asaba
  • Abuja
  • Benin
  • Ibadan
  • Lagos
  • Port-Harcourt
  • Onitsha
  • Kaduna

@maryfavour.

@maryfavour I wish Smile could extend their services to other part of Nigeria. Their unlimited package appears to be the cheapest.

That is also my wish, @greenrun that smile services be extended to all 36 state capitals, at least, not just 8. That would really make Nigerians smile.

Their unlimited package appears to the cheapest.

Apparently, it is the cheapest. My younger brother, Solomon, has confirmed that smile service is good too. When was in Benin, Solo and I used to communicate via skype voice calls using that smyle network.

THE quest for expanded service offerings has resulted in the deployment of about 80, 893km of fibre optic cable systems by the telecommunications operators including the (GSM and CDMA/Fixed telephony operators in the country.

I wonder when they'd finish this project. All I want is fast cheap Internet.

It is around $40

That is almost twice the cost here. Wow.
