4G MOBILE NETWORK PERFORMANCE REPORT IN VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS STATE.
National Independent Wireless Broadband Quality Reporting #NIWBQR - evaluation of the quality of LTE Technology deployment in Nigeria, A case study of Victoria Island, Lagos State.

In this study, the qualities of service (QoS) of the deployed long-term evolution (LTE) cellular networks of five (5) Nigerian mobile network operators (MNOs), namely MTN, GLO, Airtel, Smile and 9Mobile are evaluated. Drive data was collected from Yaba to Victoria Island in Lagos Nigeria.

The Nigerian mobile data market has witnessed an increased demand for broadband with increased usage of smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and laptop computers. Users now demand services and applications from mobile communication systems that go far beyond mere voice and telephony. According to Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) [1], sum total of all active telephony subscribers in Nigeria increased from 142,320,120 in Nov 2017 to 169,104,830 in Nov 2018. This is equivalent to 19.30% change in tele-density.

The need for mobile users to know the quality of their communication network and demand for better service from their mobile operator in Nigeria has been the driving force for NIWBQR. While the focus for operators should be on using the processes on improving customer experience. Mobile devices have become an essential part of life in which millions of Nigerians depend on for everyday business and communication. Sadly, the telecommunication quality of service in Nigeria still falls below the LTE minimum standard set by 3GPP.

The data for 2019 was collected on Friday, 10/5/2019 between the hours of 11am and 5pm.
