I dont have glo 4G network in my area (Idu Industrial Area, close to Lifecamp) that is why I opted for MTN.
I know very well that Glo 4G is available all over Karimo, so i'm pretty certain that it's also available in Idu. One thing about the 700mhz frequency is that it travels really far, hence the noticeable strong signal in most places.

If you were told that it isn't available in Idu, by Glo reps, just know that they don't know what they're talking about. To be sure, If you have a Huawei E5573s-606 or E5377bs-508, insert any sim, either Glo or any other network, then switch it to '4G Only' mode and search for available 4G networks.

They actually said there is 4G in my area but the bolded is what I did, but with the new MTN E5573cs-322. Seems it doesn't support band 28 that is why I didn't see Glo 4G? Can that be the case?

Yes, it can't see Glo 4G.

No wonder! And unfortunately my S7 Edge too doesn't support band 28, would have ported my main line to GLO. I am expecting an S8 next weekend though, I think it supports B28. I have tried with Etisalat, I think it is time to say goodbye. Both data and call rates are the highest and i have been using like that for 3 years. I don try!

S7 Edge supports band 28 depending on the variant. I know the international variant does. Also, not all variant of S8 support band 28. Glo 4G is even faster than Etisalat 4G, and given that Glo data is the cheapest, I'll be sticking with Glo for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, mine is the AT$T variant which doesn't. The S8 I'm expecting is the Sprint (unlocked) variant, do you know if it supports band 28?

Thank God someone has backed me up. Glo is truly the widest 4g provider in Nigeria. When you eventually connect I bet the speed will be killer. Shh, don't shout too much about it oh, lol.

For the people arguing about the who is got the fastest 4G network speed. Here is a speed test I did in Awka, Anambra State. That place has the best 4G connection I have ever used since I port to Glo.

Modified: Even Samsung's official website confirms that it supports band 28, so maybe you are wrong

toluxa1 was asking me if the Sprint s8 he is expecting supports band 28, and I told him yes, according to Gsmarena. I wasn't referring to the S7 Edge.
