Subscribers Plan Demonstration Over Poor Services

Telecommunication
subscribers in Port Harcourt may demonstrate against network providers in the state if their services do not improve in the nearest future.
Some subscribers, who spoke with The Tide yesterday in Port Harcourt, said almost all the service providers in the state were operating below global standard.
They regretted that unsolicited services still flooded subscribers cell phones against their wishes.
An Airtel subscriber, M.S Boma  George, said the service provider was only bent on short-changing subscribers for some unsolicited  services like wisdom quote.
She hinted that in most cases, Airtel deducts money arbitrarily from subscribers on grounds that they have loaned some credits from them (Airtel).
George wondered how the service provider would make subscribers to re-pay what  he/she never solicited for.
Another phone user, Mr Amadi Godday, blamed the whole situation on the inability of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to clamp dawn on the defaulting service providers.
He said all network service providers in the country, especially, the Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) owe Nigerians a lot considering the huge money and poor service they are rendering.
Amadi noted that the only solution was to invite new network providers to the country, saying the present ones have failed.
He also said that soonest subscribers would rise against all network providers in the state, since the concerned bodies are not willing to act.
Others who also spoke to The Tide called on the National Assembly to insist on the original fine of the MTN, saying that it will serve as deterrent to other service providers.
The Tide gathered that Nigerians are the most cheated country by network providers due to the high tariff and poor service offered by the service operators in the  country.
