Well, Etisalat, ntel and interC support band 3, While Smile, MTN/Visafone sims support band 20, and Swift and Spectranet support band 40.

Depending on your data needs. If your prefer and can afford unlimited data, then go for Spectranet, Smile, interC, ntel or Swift. I'd go for Spectranet, since it's more stable and consistent than any of the other '4G Only' networks.

But if you're not one that needs a lot of data, then get an MTN/Visafone branded SIM from an MTN store. The advantage of the Visafone branded SIM is that it supports both LTE band 20 and 7, unlike the normal MTN SIM which only support band 7.

Are there MTN/Visafone branded sims? Are they readily available?

Ativ:


Are there MTN/Visafone branded sims? Are they readily available?

Yes, there are. They come in two variants; Mobile line, with number range of 0702 or 0704, or Landline, with number range starting with the state dial code where the SIM is issued. For instance, a landline SIM issued in Abuja would start with the number 09, and one issued in Lagos would start with 01. I've both the mobile and landline sims, and the truth is they both act as mobile, because you can take them anywhere there is MTN coverage and they'll work fine.

By the way, voice and data tariff are fully unified, so there is no difference between mtn and Visafone anymore, except for LTE band 20 (800 Mhz) support on the Visafone side of the network. And that is because NCC refused MTN from using Visafone's 800Mhz spectrum after it acquired Visafone.

Hi dustmalik , pls help me to decide on this. Am using e5573-606 with glo, pls the wifi mode which one is the best to use 2.4ghz or 5ghz

5ghz is better, but not all devices support it. So, if you switch to 5ghz, and you are unable to connect to the MiFi, then it means that your device doesn't support it. Just switch back to 2.4ghz in that case.

My device supports it

Yeah

I want to buy a spectranet modem primarily cos of d unlimited night plan. What I would like to know is, is it really unlimited at night and how is d speed like at night
I ask these questions cos I hear people complaining saying the data is capped, the speed is throttled, the data used at night is sometimes deducted from the main balance etc.

Pls anybody that has info should reply me Pls I don't want to waste 10k

Yes, as dustmalik already said. However, be aware that, whereas the 5 GHz band produces a stronger signal, it's transmission range is shorter, compared to that from the 2.4 GHz signal. So, your choice may in fact depend on your usage scenario.
