This morning I saw the airtel 5g icon on my phone today. Mind you I am on mtn 1 year plan. My router and phone are 5g but mtn 4g network is what showing. Sometimes the network is very slow and some other time it's super fast.

When I saw the 5g airtel signal I quickly subscribe to airtel just to test and feel the speed. But I was disappointed.

Airtel 5G speed varies, sometimes itll be faster than MTN 5G. However it depends on your location as well. But make we talk truth MTN remains the best network in Nigeria of today.

At what Location did this happen

I agree. MTN is still the best. I had solid speeds on MTN on my recent visit last month. Sometimes my 5G download speeds were in excess of 500 Mbps. See sample speed tests for LTE and 5G below. Of course it all depends on location, These speeds were in the Ogba area of Lagos.

glo is the worst, dont waste your money

airtel is better can be very fast in some zones

mtn is the best and most stable in every zone

MTN IS THE BEST BUT OFFERS NO WIRELESS UNLIMITED DATA UNLESS YOU USE THE FIBRE X WHICH IS LIMITED IN AVAILABILITY.
AIRTEL OFFERS UNLIMITED BROADBAND WIRELESSLY, BUT THE NETWORK IS AVERAGE. I USE THE AIRTEL ROUTER AND ITS UNLIMITED, I AVERAGE AROUND 2-3Mbps DURING THE DAY AND ABOVE 6Mbps at night.

MTN IS NOT UNLIMITED,EXCEPT THERE FIBRE X WHICH IS VERY SCARCE. I GET DOWNLOAD SPEED OF ABOUT 35MBPS,WHICH IS AROUND 300Mbps. I DOWNLOADED EFOOTBALL ON MY PHONE OF ABOUT 3GB IN ABOUT A MINUTE. I WAS SURPRISED, BUT NO UNLIMITED DATA PLANS EXCEPT THERE FIBRE X

May be location dependent too

YES, THE 5G IS LOCATION DEPENDENT, BUT THE 4G IS ALSO GOOD ND USABLE ANYWHERE. MOST PLACES HAVE BEEN TO IN LAGOS, MTN HAS A 5G PRESENCE AND GOOD NETWORK., CANT SAY SAME FOR AIRTEL. AIRTEL NEED MORE INVESTMENT IN ITS INFRASTRUCTURE.., THATS WHERE MTN BEATS THEM HANDS DOWN

Airtel has been sh!t!. Bought their 5G router just for faster internet speed but the light on the router has been steadily off for 5G while 4G has been on ever since… I guess I was scammed 😪
