MTN has launched its high speed Internet service, Hynet, in Kwara state. At the launch of the product, Dr. Bukola Saraki expressed the hope that the service would boost economic activity in the state. The service is based on a technology known as WiMax. People who attended the launch were given a demonstration of the service, which was indeed quite fast. However, the demonstration was done using a modem capable of a download speed of 2Mb/s. Prospective buyers may not necessarily experience the same speed on the available packages. The packages available are as follows:

Monthly Packages
Plan    Bandwidth     Validity         Price

How in heaven are people suppose to be able to afford this crap? The average man can't afford this BS, too damn expensive, can she also fight for cheaper internet service?

Absolutely funny! They are comedians. Quote me; The prices are unrealistic.

MTN likes to take on a ride, let's see how long this will be sustained, or we pray for more competition in the industry, force the cost down.

Bunch of jokers,1Mbps is the fastest and its about £250 per month?
