Coldie:

It’s cause of Nigerian government.

Cost of living in Nigeria is very high

Wrong. People pay as less as £30 in the UK for monthly unlimited internet over 200mbps. Meanwhile you'd pay over N500,000 to get just 50mbps.

This article from Guardian

Yesterday, MTN Nigeria Communications Plc kicked off an open Fifth-Generation (5G) pilot in the lead-up to its highly anticipated commercial launch. The company, which intends to launch 5G services in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Owerri and Maiduguri, is testing the next-generation network infrastructure. Customers with certain enabled devices will be allowed to connect with and try out the new service where coverage is available.

To access the 5G network and enjoy its benefits, customers will need compatible devices, such as routers and mobile phones, which can be pre-ordered from designated MTN walk-in stores and online via the MTN Nigeria website and e-marketplace.

The pre-ordered devices can be picked up or will be delivered to customers post the launch event scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.
The telecommunications firm, in a statement, yesterday, said the advanced technology promises to extend the reach and capacity of MTN Nigeria’s data network in Nigeria and enable much faster speeds and lower latency, giving customers near-instant access to the things they care about and downloads that take seconds, instead of minutes.

Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Adia Sowho, said: “Every major technological evolution redefines what is possible – changing the way we live and the way we connect. MTN Nigeria has been at the forefront of every leap in telecommunications – from GSM to 2G, 3G, and 4G; 5G has the potential to change everything. So they have tested it first on mobile app development services to check the speed and all the network coverages. It will allow us to connect, create, collaborate, and compete in ways we’ve not even begun to imagine. “We appreciate the unwavering support and leadership of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in implementing the National Policy on 5G Networks for Nigeria’s Digital Economy, which has driven the implementation of 5G in the country. We’re honoured to be a part of this revolution and being the first to bring 5G to Nigeria, we are truly excited about all the possibilities for the nation.”
The spectrum issued to MTN Nigeria as one of the two successful winners of the 5G licence bid, holds a promising future for technology in Nigeria and is projected to contribute $2.2 trillion to the global economy by 2034, according to a 2020 GSMA Intelligence report -” The Mobile Economy”. The implementation of 5G will accelerate the actualisation of the national targets in the Nigerian National Broadband Plan, the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy, as well as other sectoral policies designed to enhance Nigeria’s digital transformation.

With this launch, leveraging the largest spectrum dedicated to 5G in Africa, Nigeria will join a handful of African countries that have rolled out the 5G network.
Customers can visit the nearest MTN service centre or visit the MTN Nigeria website to order 5G-enabled devices for home delivery.

Hope this article will help everyone.

am still waiting ooo , e neva reach Rivers State ooo

With data burning like candle

wis3:
We probably still won't get up to 100/Mbps with the 5G. Poor latency with expensive data rates.

5G and covid19.. so pastor Chris ans his followrrs got scammed?

And you have used 5G?

olu77:
5G hmmm...me I have not seen any difference between 3G and 5G so far

sagitariusbaby:
must everything about Nigeria leads to this on this forum? Na wao! I may just finally and permanently quit Nairaland for Twitter which is more saner and matured.

Go to twitter pls, don’t come back.

One thing i hate about these Igbos is the hypocrisy; you fools ll keep quiet when your kinsmen are doing the same thing but as soon as it’s done to you and your kinsmen you begin to play the victim card like your forefathers who started the civil war

With the arrival of 5G networks, to protect ourselves from smartphone radiations we should boost our immune system

Bruh

100mb is literally the minimum of 5g
I'm sure it'd reach that speed if not then that isn't 5g.

Struggling to understand what exactly your point is.

Anyway. It's alright.

All i was saying is the matter should not be sentimentalised, and i think the person i quoted got the point.

Please don't bother with further explanations.

Thanks a lot

"Lagos is no man's land according to some people "

Biko ask yourself if you sound upright in this statement.

According to some people is where you get your info from right?


Btw, I can't remember when last i demanded for your history "telling me where you work and whataview"

It is well o

wis3:

If it was FG 4 northern states would have made the list + Lagos, Ibadan and pH.

Could be even less and no oke will do a thing about it. I mean, compared to what is obtainable in other countries, data is really expensive in Nigeria.

Mokason288:
7 states ?

Is Owerri a state??

Onitsha should have been a better option

Na Maiduguri, Ibadan come be state

pricklewane:
When foolish Igbos like yourself quote favourable data the food among you don't come here to lament like lunatics that you will be quitting for Twitter but once data favourable to others are displayed your dead brain start quitting for hellfire. Who is stoping you from quitting ? May it never be well with you n your entire household if you don't quit today.

This is what I am talking about. I am from Edo state and my part of Edo state is mainly Yorubanised. But foools like you always assume everyone against your pettiness must be Igbo. Nigeria is bigger then Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo put together, you guys should let us enjoy some level of sanity here. Nonsense!

Tests that I have seen show far show it reaching 500mbps+, maybe when it is widely used it will reduce to 250mbps.

purplekayc:
What speeds will one be getting max on 5g?

For now 600mbps - 800mbps but that will likely reduce when it becomes widely available.

Joeyjones:

only way this is feasible is if they made unlimited plans. Over 600mbps could mean exhausting 10GB in less than 15 seconds. They ought to address this

Kewtt:

You terrorists want 5G? Kaduna should be sent back to 2G!

How on earth will refer to someone u bearly know as a terrorist? Haba!

We are saying same thing cost of living in Nigeria is very high. Apart from the fact that these people are the ones providing there own infrastructures government over taxes the sector.

Just a few months ago Nigerian government added another tax on telecoms that’s already expensive

those who just changed to 4G phone, its time to change again to 5G phone

It seems the clown called freestuffng had his comment deleted or reported. Very lazy, tribalistic human being bereft of any modicum of wisdom; always online displaying his folly.

Look at the message he wrote up there and you can see some of these people might actually be Boko Haram trying to cause ethnic disaffection on Nairaland. I hope the moderators ban such idiots forever!

wis3:

Exactly because it's useless having high internet speed when your data is capped. Maybe one day they'll bring a good unlimited plan but it will be ridiculous like this South Africa's own.

Do I look like I care if you are from the deepest part of hellfire. Where have you been when they taunt others with data favourable to them ? How come clowns like you always show up when others do it to them.
