MTN AND GLO HAS 4G,I HAVE SEEN IT ON BOLD 5 AND SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE.
Re: Differences Between Gprs, Edge, 3g, Hsdpa, Hspa+ And 4g Lte by OmichaelO: 6:24am On Nov 09, 2012
i have seen 3MB/s before on MTN,with tunneler though
P.S. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MB and Mb. 1000KB IS 1MB,WHILE 1000Kb is 125KB
KB MEANS- KILOBYTE
Kb means - kilobit
8bits = 1BYTE

N.B-IF AM WRONG CORRECT ME.

1 kb = 1000 bits
1 kB = 1024 bytes

Corrected, sir. kB generally deals with binary systems, kb deals with decimal systems. Data rates and throughput is referenced in kb parameter, while memory capacity and data storage is referenced in kB.

rman:

Yes, most recently realeased BB'S supports 3G.


Also, there is no LTE network in Nigeria yet. All networks and ISP claiming LTE are liars because no one has been issued a licence for LTE yet in Nigeria.

What we currently have is Wimax which is not supported on phones yet. But Wimax can deliver speeds close to that of LTE
Thanks bro. As I've learnt on this thread 3G works in some areas not every where as i thought earlier. grin i use glo bis and here are some locations 3G is supposed to work
3G Coverage:
In order to ensure your best quality of service for all our subscribers 3G plus is available in some areas of
1. LAGOS
2. IBADAN
3. BENIN
4. PORT HARCOURT
5. ABUJA
6. IFE
7. OSOGBO
8. ENUGU
9. NNSUKA
10. WARRI
11. ABAKALIKI
12. YENAGOA
13. KADUNA
14. ZARIA
15. KANO
16. AKURE
17. Lokoja
18. Minna
Glo will continue to expand coverage to other parts of the country. However, you may continue to use the Internet services on the extensive GPRS netowrk which covers the entire nation. http://www.gloworld.com/services.asp

I don't stay in any of the above areas so no 3G for me

With the present Infrastructural and Security Challenges, i doubt we would see a true 4G network till around 2016, despite the competition.

Hopefully, this BH menace would soon end with dialogue around the corner or perceived weakening. And with the Power situation improving, we might begin to have good news soonest. But for the next few years we would probably be paying good money for crap services. We still do not have fixed broadband in Nigeria, our data rates are scandalous, not as many fibre optic cables or satellites as we need. When the Glo-1 went down and still is, all the networks went out, it is shameful and instead of the FG to absolve the shame of not making valuable input to boost the infrastructure, they went ahead to bill the telecoms for poor service like they were hoarding good service or like it was their fault.

1 thing at a time, i am not waiting for magic, i just think Nigeria can not be held back for long. And for the record, i am not in the telecoms industry neither am i related to anyone in the telecoms industry either. I am just another patriotic Nigerian who is willing to see this nation grow as one entity; and ready to stay through the setbacks. We all have roles to play.
