okay so i get to MTN office at 1st artillery this afternoon to get my hands on the 4G sim,very eager to test out the speed.
changed my regualr 3g line to a 4g and bought 2 new 4G sims....one for the samsung galaxy tab A and the other for my sprectranet 4G modem when and if i succeed in unlocking it....

so i get them go home and begin the test. refer to my old thread HERE, where i compared the 3G speeds on my htc 816 to my samsung and spectranet.
was getting an average of 2.5Mb/s on my HTC and 1.8Mb/s on my samsung (all on 3G) so you can imagine my eagerness to test the new "4G" sim in my area which has very good MTN network.

RESULTS: my HTC didnt perform any different which was expected considering its a 3.75G enabled phone. No LTE! But i insisted on converting it to 4G to test the hypotheses by some guys here on nairaland that a 4G sim in a 3G phone will pull the maximum speed the 3G can offer. not true from my tests. no difference at all.

the samsung on the other hand really pulled some nice speeds even though i was disappointed. was expecting up to 5Mb/s which other people may get in some areas in PHC.

we are not yet there as regards internet access but we are getting there gradually. if data becomes so cheap,get ready to say bye bye to entertainment as we know it. videos will be watched on PCs or mobile......games will be played online effortlessly...indeed our productivity as a nation will increase with improvement in internet access believe it or not.
If my HTC was an LTE device,my speed with it would put my samsung to shame....now i'm eyeing the HTC M9 small small.....
below are the screenshots.....1.HTC IDM speed and speedtest 2.samsung IDM speed and speedtest 3. spectranet speedtest

spectranet speed test............for sometime now spectranet has been messing up in my area....not as fast as it was when it came into PH. i guess more and more people are coming on board and their network is getting overloaded and sluggish but they have no choice but to up their game.
no USP(unique selling proposition anymore). The 4G they boast of is now everywhere.....smile,mtn,etisalat and glo. soon airtel will join the pack.
competition is a beautiful thing! the fear of NTEL is the beginning of wisdom. everybody is falling in line. the hustle is real.....

Please will the normal subscription work on 4G LTE

it will only drop if there is no competition..

How many people have 4compatible phones like 3g
How many people have 4g phones compatible with a particular band the network is using.

Despite traffic on 3g, speed didn't reduce unless during down times, you now expect 4g that will never have same traffic as 3g to drop.

I'm getting my mtn 4g sim today
