Airtel Nigeria, this morning just hit us up with the news about completing their Long Term Evolution Networks trial in Lagos Nigeria, You will remember that we mentioned MTN and Globacom’s LTE plans a few months ago. From their tests, they were able to maintain connections as fast as 32-37 Mbps for downloads and 10Mbps for uploads. The tests were carried out in Lagos, but there are plans to carry out the same tests in other parts of the country. So if you have an LTE capable device and an airtel sim, you may want to flick the LTE antenna on every now and then to see if you catch one of the tests on a band your device supports.

I just hope this is not all their voodoo speed.
These networks wan start again sha.

non sense ... am yet to get a bar on their 3.75g they launched almost a year now and they are talking about 4g ... mtchewww

etisalat don do me

If it happens,it would be a big plus with unlimited browsing and not data cap. company like DSTV would be in trouble cos everybody go dey watch soccer online.

mstcheww..that i still use to board #30 bus to go and search for 3G

*now climbing my tank maybe i might get*

LTE Forreal hope the speed is as fast as what we have above but then guess u will have ti charge and use

Na so my brother. If I can get such speeds with unlimited data at 10k/month, i will jump on it. Every single match I need to watch, every single film, all na online tins o.

4G has been a disappointment worldwide. Original idea was
Ip based communication. Like Voip, which will bring
An end to roaming charges built on d ipv6 backbone
However that has been discontinued.because no network want to loose roamin charges
So realistically no nation is has d real long term evolution (LTE). Airtel
Shldnt bother. Dey shld jus focus on enhance network scalability and quality

Nonsense! They shld improve on EDGE and 3G jare. Airtel is f u c k i n g slow for my liking or are they a learner

Has anybody observed how fast your credit disappears on airtel network? They are the most dubious of the operators

I guess you should use the BIS for Airtel that costs N1200
It's the cheapest plan amongst all the networks.

so you are saying all other remain countries internet speed is nothing less than that (225 countries maybe)?? If not kindly be specific and stop making Nigeria look bad...

Exactly...
the 3G in naija is slow and expensive and not even as fast as my edge in the UK, now they are talking bout 4g lite...Lolz.

Francheezy: unlimited br0wsing g0 sweet with diz lte 0oh

well is okay sha

lte or 4g has nothing to do with h speed. even as i type now, airtel signal as well as glo and mtn in my area is h speed, beyond 3g. but the data thruput is far from all those noise making.
