Good afternoon bro, I had just one question.

1. I have try checking my state Edo in MTN App and I didn’t see it there.

2. You said it available in Edo state and how am I going to request for it since I didn’t see Edo state or Benin city listed on the MTN app?

My regards
The only locations in Edo it's officially available in at the moment.

It appears they've finally raised upload to match download.

MTN should bring this stuff down to my street. It’s been 2months that I have been on them to get this facility yet I have not received any response from them

Yeah, the best thing about FibreX is that it's not affected by peak usage periods or rain. Usually with mobile data, speeds tend to drop in the evenings. That isn't the case for FibreX. Also completely unaffected by rain.

That said, I had a weird outage last night. Wasn't like previous ones where internet service disappears for a few minutes, this one had my router LOS flashing red for over an hour--indicating a lack of signal entirely. I think likely there was a power outage at the main service point. First time I've had such an occurrence and not something I'm keen on.

Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.
Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm wondering, can I use my MTN 5G Router with it? I'm guessing it will work way better than whatever they're giving for free. It's really a question of if it's compatible with FibreX

Maybe as a WiFi extender, by connecting from the LAN port of the FibreX device.

Just got mine. Paid on Monday, got installed yesterday morning, and then it started working yesterday night. Speed and ping are consistent!

My MTN FibreX got installed yesterday after 6 weeks of payment.

It got installed on Thursday. It started working yesterday night (Tuesday).

It's fast. I downloaded about 98 GB and uploaded about 12 GB within 6 hours.

For N25k monthly, it's a good deal and you aren't paying for the router or installation. Everything is free except for the monthly fee.

My download speed suddenly throttled heavily. Been this way for about an hour now, has anyone faced this?

Edit: This has now been fixed. Lasted about four hours total. Contacted MTN customer care two hours ago.

This is the speed test for Airtel ODU. Similar to MTN fibre, there is no need for the poles to be in your location. You are good to go as long as the Airtel network is good in your location.

25k monthly for 50 MB/s. You get the first month free, and it is available in both 4G and 5G. Just make sure that the Airtel network is good in your location.

The installation is free.. you just pay for subscription, and an agent contacts you for installation.

The router is connected to the cable. The connection runs from a pole outside the house straight to the router.

Personally I have been subscribed and connected for about two weeks now, haven't experienced any downtime so far, neither have I experienced any issue with speed. I have been having constant 50+ Mbps that I subscribed to without issues. Even when network is sluggish on my MTN SIM on my phone the FibreX has always been constantly blazing 🔥

I would consider myself a heavy data user, and yes, the FibreX is truly Unlimited.

There is really no money that you are required to spend during inquiry or even installation. To find out if your area is Fibre ready, just go to the MTN website and enquire, although some recent locations they are yet to even update on their website. For my case even the customer service agent I spoke with online did not even know that the Fibre was already live in my estate. It was after I filled out the Fibre form on my website a fibre agent reached out to me via email and told me my area was live. So I just made payment for the 50Mbps plan, and like two days later I received a phone call, an agent came around and installed it for free.
But as for enquiry, no money is involved, my advice to you is go to their website and just fill out the FibreX form, that is all you need to do. If your area is live you will be contacted, then you can go ahead and make payment. The only amount you will be required to pay is just subscription charge, everything else is free.
Got this particular Huawei router as well. Do you use any backup/power Bank with it. The one that came with my old 5G router didn't work with this. Any recommendations will be fine.

Search for “mini dc ups”. There’s marsriva, olax (the one I currently use) and a bunch of others.
Check out the specification of your device charger.

Currently using the powerbank (UPS) that came with my MTN 5G broadband, it works quite well.. 👍🏼

Or buy one of these and use with a powerbank.

I can’t register on mtn fiberX as a new user cos the OTP code they are always sending it wrong, how do I go about it?

I've never had an issues with the code. I don't think you need to do any registration yourself, though. My registration was done by the sales agent (asked for usual KYC) and then my FNID was sent to me.

Same here. They’ve been digging trenches and laying pipes these last 2weeks. It remains for them to pass the cables through, I am hoping it’s done before the end of this month as I have just renewed my terrible Airtel subscription.
