Nigeria’s quest to achieve the 30 percent national Broadband penetration by 2018 has received a major boost with the
launch of MTN’s 4G LTE service.
With the launch of the service, MTN’s subscribers can now
enjoy optimized wireless 4G broadband and high-speed
browsing experience which is the fastest and most futuristic
mobile internet access available in Nigeria today.

According to MTN’s Chief Marketing Officer, Rahul De, the deployment of
4G LTE will not only enhance MTN subscribers’ browsing
experience but would also key-in to the national objective of
attaining 30 percent Broadband penetration by 2018.

“We are excited to officially announce the roll-out of MTN 4G
LTE services to our esteemed subscribers. The service
supports most LTE devices, and leveraging on our network
promises to be the widest LTE coverage in Nigeria.

With the acquisition of the 2.6GHZ spectrum earlier this year, our
objective was clear: to build capacity to accommodate 4G LTE
into our services because it is the fastest wireless internet
connection available today. In fulfilling that objective, we have
embarked on aggressive optimization of our sites to beef up
our capacity to take on the 4G LTE challenge. Presently, the
service is available in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt, with
plans to roll-out to other parts of the country very soon,” he
said.

Speaking further, Rahul called on subscribers to visit the
nearest MTN customer centre in the three cities to upgrade
their SIM cards to U-SIMs to enable them enjoy the 4G
service. He also added that switching to MTN 4G LTE will not
attract additional tariffs for subscribers.
MTN’s 4G LTE Broadband service also comes with MI-FI
device that can be purchased at the nearest MTN friendship
centre and allows for multiple users either at home or office.

GLO

Glo just launched its 4G LTe Service and the data plans are still as affordable as the 3G plans.
