Do you have a Glo sim or do you have the HSPDA Glo 3G Modem? Then you are on a great network.
About Glo's 3G Service
Glo Nigeria offers a very high speed Internet service on their 3G Plus network and there is a reason why it's called 3G Plus, because it is actually more than just 3G.
Glo's internet service works from as low as GPRS to Edge, 3G and then 3G+ meaning that you can get speeds which may at times be good enough for mobile browsing on a mobile phone using GPRS and as fast as broadband service using full browsing on a connected device.
One of the best ways to enjoy the full benefits of Glo's 3g platform and speed is by using the USB Modem sold at Glo outlets and this comes as a small portable plug and play stick that carries a sim card that has been configured for Internet browsing.
How fast really is the GLO 3G Plus service?
Well, it is very fast and goes for speeds of at most 3.6Mbp/s although it may at times drop to GPRS speed when it slows. It is so fast that you could watch Youtube videos on the go. If you really want to know if an internet service is fast enough, try going to youtube and see if you can watch streaming videos and not just Yahoo mail or facebook.

How to activate Glo 3G plus internet service
The first thing is to ensure that you have a glo sim and then some credit and send the word "Activate" to 127 and you will get a list of options about the service.
If you want to browse for a day only then it will cost N500
10 for Always Day (24 hrs) - N500 (150MB data limit)
11 for Always Min (30 days) - N5,000 (1.5GB data limit)

Just send 10 to 127 with a credit of N500 in your phone and you will have subscribed to a 24 hr internet service on Glo using the Always day package. There are other packages that may go for a month or week, business time and so on and they are all worth it.

* Glo Always Max (30 days) - N10,000 (5GB data limit)
* Glo Always Min (30 days) - N5,000 (1.5GB data limit)
* Glo Always Micro (30 days) - N1,000 (150MB data limit)
* Glo Always Day (24 hours) - N500 (150MB data limit)

How to subscribe using the Glo USB Modem
If you already have the modem and your subscription is finished but you want to renew it, you can do so by just clicking on the self care icon on your glo window;
- Enter the recharge card number e.g. N500 or N5000 worth and click on Recharge
- After recharging, select the option below by clicking on send e.g for Always Min, day and so on
- You will have been activated for the plan you chose, just click on view balance and confirm that your credit has been deducted for the plan
