Pls use Mtn , is d best in fast browsing.
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Ferrous(m): 5:32pm On Apr 24, 2020
I think, it depends on your location, here, Glo is the fastest; about 2MB per second on 4G LTE. It's manageable here

MTN.

But, they are not as generous as the other network providers.

They gave me 1GB for N200 (21 days).

I had the same problem with yours, but what I did was I changed the simcard to another 4G network and everything became normal. Try changing the Sim card, if it persists, then try purchasing a router and use Airtel or MTN on it and it will automatically reduce the rate at which your data zaps off. With my router I am able to use 1GB of MTN data for one week (i.e with Intense usage).... It is well bruh��
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Boyooosa(m): 5:55pm On Apr 24, 2020
Your analyses on glo and airtel are accurate.
I use 9mobile too but the last time I loaded on it was January 2019 because of low internet speed, I don't know their update now.
Few days ago, I switch to mtn, my most hated enemy, to my surprise, faster than whatever I could imagine an isp does in Nigeria. Only me dey run after the speed, I don't what may be their other side anyway but it's flying for now.
I missed airtel tho, I can't wait for them to come back...
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by stephenponti(m): 5:59pm On Apr 24, 2020
I manage Glo because of the cheap data bonus.

Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Bimpe29: 6:04pm On Apr 24, 2020
They're all problematic.

Slow connectivity and data zapping.

But, MTN has a better connectivity over and above the rest.

Fastest network in Nigeria for browsing is Etisalat, however they place premium on their data prices. MTN isn't far behind in this category.

Currently, I'm using Airtel Network and I'll say it is okay to some extent. I buy new Sims once in 3 months ( due to 100% data increase on offer)
#2000 will give me 9gb, instead of the regular 4.5gb on offer.

Once 3 months is up, I discard the current one and get a new one


Pls put me through, what's the code and the criteria sir?

Please am dying of chest pain,has lingered for 1 month almost now and I have gone for all possible scans but nothing was discovered...it's killing me today that I have not stood up from my mattress

Who knows d solution to this my pains please cry?


Chest pain could be caused by many health conditions or factors, not just by ulcer alone.
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Goddyj(m): 6:18pm On Apr 24, 2020
It actually depends on your location. If you reside in an area that is covered by MTN 4G network and you have a 4G enabled phone, then go for MTN.

Another good thing about MTN is that their SME data plans are actually the cheapest.
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by r4roty(m): 6:26pm On Apr 24, 2020
etisalat is the fastest. downlink speed of 6.0 to 9.0 mbps is not uncommon.

All are okay. But try to observe the network that works well in your neighbourhood.
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by JBRichard(m): 7:00pm On Apr 24, 2020
I know that many have given their opinion but take mine and keep it forever.
The best is MTN. Their motto "Everywhere you go" is truly right. I've used AAAALLLLL the mobile network for the past 8 years or so and I have made my conclusion that MTN favours all.
GLO - Many are saying that GLO 4G Lite is the best when you have a 4G phone but mind you: your device goes back to 3G and 2G once in a while when you don't have a good connection. Then how can one rely on GLO when they can't get their 3G speed good enough and to be consistent, talk more of 4G which can fail at any time. The good side is that they have the best data plans among the rest but average talk plans. I'll give them a 6.2/10. Surprisingly, there data plans don't get exhausted quickly.

9mobile AKA Etisalat - They are good and I'll give them a 6.7/10. They offer good bonuses too like GLO and nice talk plans but sometimes they have poor network. Believe me, I have called the customer care to report this incident in my area for years now. They seemed not to be bothered. I got tired and bought an MTN SIM. They have amazing data plans like GLO and the data doesn't get exhausted quickly.

Airtel - They have good data plans and nice talk plans. I compared their talk plans with MTN AT THE SAME CALL RATE FOR ONE MINUTE (11k/s) and Airtel consumed more airtime about 15 naira more. What I didn't like was that when my data wants to get exhausted I don't get a warning. It just ends and it data plans get exhausted a little faster too. They know what they are doing. Even when I buy a midnight bundle, I don't get to see my balance, why? Also, you can't just change easily to browse with with your credit or data bundle, which you can do with other network operators. They know what they are doing..... I reserve my comment o! Anyway, I'll give them a 7/10. They have incredible download speed of up to 2 MB/second in the night and 1-1.5 MB/second in the day for a 3G user. This is very fast. A 1GB movie will be download in less than 3 minutes.

***NOTE: I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE USING CHROME TO DOWNLOAD, DON'T DO THAT. USE OPERA MINI. CHROME EATS YOUR DATA FAST EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE LITE MODE ON. IT DOESN'T, I REPEAT, IT DOESN'T SAVE DATA AT ALL. OPERA MINI BOOSTS YOUR DOWNLOAD SPEED UP A NOTCH. I REMEMBER USING CHROME AND MY DOWNLOAD FAILS MOST OF THE TIME. IT IS NOT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER THAT IT CAUSING IT. You may notice that your internet connection flickers sometimes (IT IS NORMAL); Chrome notices that and your download will stop and show an error message. Using Opera Mini, it never happens, you can pause and come back to continue downloading days later. It automatically pauses if it notices a problem. REPLY IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ON IT.****

Finally,
MTN - They have good data plans depending on your package like
MTN Beta Talk
MTN Pulse and the rest
Call your service provider so that they can give you the best package that suits you.
I was downloading once and the highest it download was 6.7 MB/second. One thing about MTN that other network lacks is its consistency. You can be downloading a movie at 700 Kb/Second and it will remain on that range till you finish although it may stop at some points and come up again. (The flickering I mentioned abobe which is quite normal)
Talk plans are amazing though. I'll advise that you turn on data saver directly from your device if you have or download Google Datally. MTN tends too consume data though. But I just monitor them and it's worth it.
Airtel is also consistent in download speed as MTN
GLO is not consistent
Etisalat is quite consistent too
I know I went a bit too far to detail everything out, lemme stop now. Just read this through. Even though you don't pick MTN, go for the one you like as I tried to be fair grin. I listed their pros and cons too. Have a nice evening!

Mtn most stable (almost everywhere) BT etisalat used to b the fastest (when I was using it) BT I don't know now BT to me
1. Airtel 2&3. Mtn/etisalat 4. Glo
BT everything depends on location
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Brian47(m): 8:16pm On Apr 24, 2020
MTN is the best, fast network, but their data plans is kinda expensive

Airtel is the second best, their data plans is affordable, but if you subscribe for night plan they won't show you your balance unlike other networks

Bottom line I suggest MTN

Please help, I can't find this settings on my 4G enabled phone, how do I navigate to the configuration settings please?

Well you have to ensure that your phone has 4G LTE Band 28 (700mhz) to use Glo 4G. Check your phone specs. Not all phones have LTE Band 28

I'm tired of my Glo... Sometimes it will be okay (not fast), and sometimes it will be annoyingly slow.

After midnight, I can download a 100 mb movie within 2 minutes, but it will take 1 hour to download the same movie in the day time.

I also have Airtel line, and it is a bit faster than my Glo, but they zap data like crazy. Sometimes, they don't even warn you before your data finishes... You can have 400mb one minute, and the next, you get message you don't have data again.

I don't know how Etisalat and MTN are. Guys, which Network do you think I should go for? I really need fast internet connection cos of what I do on Instagram... Using Instagram with my Glo can be so frustrating. Sometimes I feel like throwing the Sim away, but they give some really good bonuses when you recharge a lot.
I believe it depends on your location. In my family house ,Etisalat is the best.In my house ,glo is the best.In my friend's place of work , MTN is the best .So it all depends on your location

Make sure you use 4G phone with LTE Band 28 (Glo's 4G frequency). You'll never have problem again.

Glo? That network is not reliable

It depends on how much you know about MTN.
You can get 800mb with N200. Accumulation of 200mb for N50.
New sim can give you 4gb for N500 mainly for download.
Welcome back gives you 4gb with 1k naira.
And their *121*3# can really surprise you.

Most glo user that complained of slow Internet always use a glo 4G LTE sim in a non-compatible glo 4G LTE phone. And some new and ported glo numbers do have 4G LTE connectivity problem.
