New and existing customers on Etisalat network are set to enjoy enhanced service as the company is now live on the submarine fibre optic cable system provided by Main One.

Etisalat is the first telecommunications company to switch on its network on the strength of the cutting-edge technology recently launched in the country. Etisalat CEO, Steven Evans said that with the latest technology, customers on Etisalat network will have the benefit of increased broadband and enhanced data services.

According to him, “submarine fibre optic cable will enhance Etisalat’s broadband capacity, thus leading to improved data services to the benefit of our customers. Our subscription to the new technology is a demonstration of our commitment to delivery of superior service, which we are known for globally.

Our customers remain the core of our business, hence we are always keen to deploy the best technology available for their advantage.” Etisalat has been consistent in raising the stake in quality service delivery since the launch of its commercial operations in the country in October 2008.

Though a late entrant into the dynamic Nigerian telecommunications market, Etisalat has scored many firsts in its less than two years of operations. The deal with Main One is another first for Etisalat Nigeria.

dude u still dey his matter? haha!!

how can a modem/connection with a maximum of 46 KBps give u such speeds?

ok put that sim in a modem, or even use that fone, hook it up to a pc, look for a file above 5mb, download, show us ur speed.


mchheeeewwww!!! like say etisalat na only u get the sim or na only ur house e dey. at ur age make u dey tell fibs

O'l boy stop s.c.a.m.m.i.n.g us with this your fake speed test. no EDGE network that deliver that kind speed not even MTN with it's 3.5G network.

puskin na wa 4 u o, u no see say aieromon don answer that question? its super EDGE

For the further education of 'Thespecialone'

Network download speeds are standard measures, Just like you cannot tell me that a tipper lorry rated 100km/hr was cruising at 240km/hr. There is no way a 2G network can achieve that speed.

Below are standard speed for different Networks.

GPRS- 32-100kbps

EDGE(2G)- 236.8 -296kbps

HSPDA(3G) - 3.2 - 7.2Mbps

The figure you are bandying about is actually for a 3G network which y'all know Etisalat is still far from.
So, whatever they paid you to spread this falsehood, better disappear with it right away before they ask for a refund
