MTN to me is fraud, i bought their usb fastlink a week before their N8500 promo at the old rate of N12,500, and load with 10k credit for 24 hrs browsing and guess what?, the USB crashed after 2 weeks, i bought another USB pack(since mtn will not replace and i had 2G left) this time for 8.5k.
My experience, with mtn is that the 3G limitation is a FRAUD, because most thime when the network is not available and your time is up you loose all your gygabites!!!, to me that is fraud!, is it my fault for network outage?, i give you an intance!, i preloaded 10K and for more than a week i could download because mtn had network issues, which i confirmed from thier office.
funny enof d sametin happend 2mi,afta buyin their modem at 26k,d stupid tin just crashed n wen i went 2 their office 4 complain no refunds waz made,so i had 2 buy a new one at d rate of16k, wat can we do? but 2 take heart , mtn is quite ok,d speed is gud where u av a constant 3g network coz i stay in kaduna, i used multilnks evdo at a time wen i waz in lag n it waz ok 2,d speed waz 115kb! but as 4 glo i had it rocks n im finkin of switchn 4 i hate d fact dat ma free GB on mtn goes 2 waste wen it expires n u dnt consume all,dey re suposed 2 pile it up 4us coz itz our money n na we dey pay so we deserve it. so ma dear brodas u guyz shud rest on diz internet issue coz if u tink it u'll die of BP, d way all diz telecoms pple re extortin us ehn as if we don turn mumu

mtn rockz like nothing else, :oexcept glo!

check out the votes in the poll, they are really close

Mtn sure deserve their lead!

I think im tired of using mobile networks. I want to start using companies that offer only internet like swift or something. does anyone know any good one??

make una answer now??

Well i have neva used Glo b4,But i have used and still use them.VISAFONE,MTN, and MULTI LINKS, But if am to choose i will choose multi links for now,after which i will choose visafone b4 Mtn, As far as concerned Mtn re RIPP OFFS,sometimes the modem doesnt connect for hour,sometimes days and they do nothing about it, BUT ALL THE SAME ALL THIS CONNECTION DEPEND ON YOUR LOCATION.

212

Try CobraNet, they're not that bad!

those cobranet guys are in my area but with very minimal signals. and i think for them to install their dish in my crib its gonna cost serious cash

They would need to install a dish in your crib??

You've gotta be kiddin me

they have to if you want to get 100percent service

both of them are expensive both mtn is better

Like everyone has said, the speed you get depends on the distance to the mast, the state of the network at any point in time (if the network is busy for voice, how much more for data) and what is available i.e GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, 3G or 3.5G.

Having said that I have used both MTN and GLO and though MTN is not consistent and the connection goes on and off many times, for the moments that the connection is good it appears to be faster then Glo.

Glo doesn't have connection issues, but even on their HSDPA, which I believe should be the fastest, it is still rather slow. Its ok for yahoo, sending emails etc, but for multimedia (videos, music, movie trailers etc), it is a no, no. MTN will deliver multimedia better, but ONLY at the times the connection is at its best.

Like someone said, a better solution may be those who dedicate their resources to data only like DOPC, Swift, IpnX and Cobranet. Of these, IpnX is reputed to be the fastest, but these also depend on distance to mast, users on the network etc, but I guess they are more stable since all they do is data and perhaps Voip.

MTN 3G VS GLO

The two telecoms are dubious in nature meaning that they promise quality service but they are given NIGERIANS in-quality service. NIGERIAN let join hand and restore our NITEL, Enough is enough for all this private network.
Thanks.

does cobra net have any downloading limit as well? or is it just a months subscription?

am currently using MTN and Zain. I must confess that MTN is the worst network in Nigeria when come to internet services.
The speed is between 1.5Kbps - 2.5Kbps and the best time you can get better speed is from 12am to 6am.

I was using Zain Lite before I switch to MTN Night Data Plan to reduce cost since MTN data size is 3G for N2500. But at the expiration of my bundle plan, I was only able to used 397MB out of 3G.

The Night Plan make me to loosed my Weight because of sleepless night just because the speed was to slow and it will took me 10minutes to open a page.

Although am in Lagos but the speed right now is the worst.

Early last year when I start using it, it was better but now I will advise you to run as far as possible.

I have tried calling their customer service helpline for several time but each time I call them, I will listen to music and advertisement from MTN for almost an hour or more.
MTN Network is bad and sometime when I dial it will say network busy, Packet data not available and sometime, no network at all.

Zain for me is better more than MTN 100times and the speed is far better.
I have since switch back to Zain.
