That Glo supposed 3G network is very terrible is no longer news. It really is getting worse and worst.

But will like to know whether their 4G LTE network is any different. Whether it is very fast. Even "just fast" will be enough. If this is so, want to get a phone with the 28(700) 4G band so that I can continue to get benefit of their big & cheap data bundles. If their 4G is just like their 3g, then I rather just switch to another network instead of changing smartphone.



So who are those already on the Glo 4G LTE network? Please share your experience with us.

Glo 4G is reliably fast and efficient, It's best enjoyed if you have enough data because the data burn/consumption rate is almost 3x that of 3G. Speaking from experience.

I've used Glo LTE, and I didn't notice any abnormal data burning rate. Naturally, you are able to do more within a short period of time, probably why people tend to believe that LTE consumption rate is higher than 3G.

j4parry and dustmalik,

Please what area of Lagos do you guys reside? Also, which phone you guys using?

Does the 4G LTE kills battery faster?

I reside in Abuja, and I use both Huawei E5573s-606 and E5377bs-508 for Glo LTE. As for battery, there really isn't noticeable difference between 4G LTE and 3G.

thanks for the reply

the GLO 4G MiFi from GLO has been out of stock for quite a while now... Yet they keep disturbing me when it's not even available anywhere. I guess you must have gotten yours many months ago.

Yeah. Got mine as soon as they reduced the price to 10k.

from where I am staying the 4g connection is worse than the 3g, the 4g SIM is useless

Are all of GLO/MTN sims LTE enabled, or you have to swap to a LTE enabled sim? GLO's use of that very rare LTE band 28 is another story...very few phones support that band.

You MUST swap your SIM card to a 4G LTE enabled one before you can use the 4G service on both Glo and MTN.
