Email a copy of 'Internet charges becoming ‘hellish experience’: Malawi group to petition Macra' to a friend
President Peter Mutharika has sacked his aide, acting Press Secretary Timpuza Mwansambo Mwale for drawing two salaries from Malawi Broadcasting...
We have missed the boat everytime. The only way to bring the rates down is to bring in more competition. All our neighbours have more than 3 mobile phone companies, here there only 2, and they collude “mind you” to fix their rates. We also a totally disruptive MACRA which is bent on raising money for the party in power.
We told you these cell phone companies are thieves! You don listen. You remember Chikaonda said TML made a profit of 3 billion after 6 months. We should nationalize MTL
This is indeed true. I am losing a lot of money for using the internet. We are the internet generation and we need to be protected.
That is that which is maturity,these old folks need be taught by action,new generation,show dem how committed u are on very important. Issues like this,internet. Is where one can get knowledge,and u make it inaccessible,and deprive the nation of knowledge,no sense.
very correct, these people are crooks! you buy 5MB data bundle, before you have even browsed, after two minutes you get a notification that you have used 80% of your data, 5 minutes later, another one informing you that you have used 90%, the rest is history. you airtel guys are the worsts!
Not only internet charges even call charges are exorbitant in Malawi. I have a brother who lives in Tanzania and always complains of over charging of units here. If he buys for K5 000 it does not last even for a day here while there it woyld have lasted a week or more. MACRA where are you?
I support u, for someone to access internet for the whole month on a bundle it cost more that 15,000 thats day light robery opanda bundle nde u’ll browse for 2 days eish.

You see a lot of people still using it through corrupt arrangements with MTL engineers. A shame full situation where only the wicked find fake relief. MTL has become one of those companies propagating corruption.
Airtel tnm have been stealing from poor people for a long time now. They are now rich and have decided to introduce discounts for call in YANGA & KHETHEKHETHE. You tend to wonder if they are capable of giving 99.3% discounts on calls how much were they making before introducing such especially in the era of charging airtime in US dollars? I wish we internet charges xould go down to K1000 for 1gig
This is all down to the Malawian mentality. If this story was on politics, DPP, PP, MCP, some scandal in area 18, there would be tonnes of comments here. It’s the priorities and interest which have left Malawians so inept to put efforts/investments where they would drive the economy. Unless Malawians change their mentality, the prices of important services like Internet will keep going up. Look at the current government’s strategy and governance structure, there is very little mention/vision about improving the technology infrastructure.
