Ntel just call me, after I told them how bad their network is, they gave me one week of uninterrupted internet to test the network.
I must say no improvement at all.
Let me classify the networks in my candid opinion. The ones I have used
(Affordability and Speed/ 4g)

Speed. Affordability
Swift. 95% 70% Swift
Mtn. 95% 90% Double Double
9mobile. 70% 50% Stingy
Glo. 50% 100%
Ntel 30% 60%

You are spot on with your assessment. Mtn and swift are at par with speed but when u remove the double double, mtn becomes very expensive.

I can't really say. Bought mine years ago when there were no 4g phones and it had to be bought together with a modem.

Why not try swift.
Ntel gave me free one week subscription starting today but the speed is like sloth

I really envy those in Lagos right now. Swift seems to be making sense with some of their new plans. I don't understand why they've refused to expand to Abuja, even though they were there before Smile, ntel and, I think, Spectranet.

You should try everything possible to make it work before taking such drastic decision.

Try the following. First of all, find out Swift's apn, then input it manually. I'm suggesting this because '4G Only' networks such as Smile, ntel, Spectranet require a valid apn, if not, network wouldn't even come up at all.

Secondly, you may need to switch your phone's network mode to 4G Only or LTE Only as the case may be.

By the way, what phone do you use?

But is the SIM working fine in the USB mifi? If not, it could be the SIM that is problematic. Try a known functioning Swift sim on your Nokia 2 in order to be sure.

You could also get a Huawei E5573s-606 mifi, or any other mifi that support band 40(2300). By the way, I just read on Swift's website that they actually support two LTE bands, so find out which other band that is.

I have tried to figure out their device connects to internet no luck.. not sure they use APN settings...

Did you confirm from their customer support if you can use on another device?
