Airtel 3G Unlimited Data Plans Fair Usage Policy

Hello guys, remember the recently introduced Airtel Unlimited Data Plans? Well, there has been a lot of controversy about the plan because of the poor and incomplete information Airtel released about them.

First, we were all concerned why the three unlimited data plans costs differently but valid for one month. People asked why the expiring date for the N10,000 plan is same for the N15,000 and N20,000 plans (30 days). Now, I have confirmed the reason it's like that hence I wish to use this opportunity to let you know the hidden truth about Airtel 3G Unlimited data plans.

Airtel Unlimited 3G Prices


✔️ Unlimited 10 for N10,000
✔️ Unlimited 15 for N15,000
✔️ Unlimited 20 for N20,000
Each of the plans has a 30-day validity.

Airtel Unlimited 3G Fair Usage Policy


✔️ Unlimited 10: full 3G speed up to 40GB usage, then throttled
✔️ Unlimited 15: full 3G speed up to 65GB usage, then throttled
✔️ Unlimited 20: full 3G speed up to 100GB usage, then throttled

When Airtel Nigeria were contacted, one of the reps revealed that the throttle speed is 256 kbps till month end. Full 3G speeds here mean you should expect speeds in the vicinity of 1-4 Mbps on good days and less then 1 Mbps on bad days.

  7. It's like Airtel do not really comprehend the true meaning of the word unlimited . Why should it be called unlimited when in actual sense it is capped.

  12. presently in the economy recession we are today I don't think someone will have up to 10000 just to say he or she wants to buy data.i think they should first consider the pocket of the people buying it.
