Has MTN Moves The 4G Network Infrastructure To 2G? by thesolutions(op):
I noticed that when 4 G came, 3G network became useless and frustrating.
Now 5G has come and it seem that frustration is back.
Opening a simple web page has become a herculean task for a 4G network on MTN.

To dowload a movie of 200mb, you will see 4 hours remaining. this is same 4G Network with download speed of 3mbps. Now, I am stuck with 300kbps max.

This post is ignorant back in the day audio was like hundred kilobytes but now a simple audio file on Spotify is like 9 MB. Movies used to be like 40mb now they are at least 1GB for HD, so how do you expect it 2G to download an audio of 9MB and expect 3G to download 1GB fast? websites have become bigger with more files and multimedia so it’s not the fault of the network.

There is no need for 2G again in Nigeria.

2G and 3G no go even let you enjoy the internet in this 21st century, dem go fraustrate person life. They are only good for making calls

Still, MTN should improve on their 4G network speeds.

Downloading 1GB file on a 4G network shouldn't take 4 hours, Not to talk of 200MB.

I uses Airtel. And downloading files of 6gb plus doesn't takes more than 8 minutes. As that, I'm still complaining sef

[i]Low Bandwidth due to low power and excessive cost of generating power due to high cost of fuel.
