MTN & Airtel Internet Getting Worse Lately? Anyone Else Experiencing This? by timidapsin(op): 8:33pm On Apr 06
For the past few days, I’ve noticed that internet service on both MTN and Airtel has really deteriorated.

Browsing is slower, downloads are inconsistent, and sometimes pages don’t even load at all.
Is this just happening in my area, or is it a general issue across the country?

Kindly share your experience and location.

I've not experienced it with Airtel really. Just MTN. It's been terrible.

True. Airtel internet sometimes gets worse than 2G, I was thinking of getting MTN but it seems they are birds of a feather.

I guess it’s a nationwide issue now, just like the electricity shortage in the country.

I can’t play games or stream, really bad network. Airtel is the worst in streaming, MTN is bad at gaming.

We can’t just be happy in Nigeria embarassed

Especially Airtel, imagine not getting network while inside car but immediately I step out, I will get 2 bar.

For some days now, my bar has never gone beyond 2bar and network so slow.

Yes they are. Diesel is expensive. Not all Base stations are currently powered. Networks have to prioritise which facility gets diesel and which doesn't. But this isn't the main concern now.

If the war in the middle east keeps heating up, the marine cable most of the world relies on for internet, Nigeria inclusive might be targeted. Russia has already practiced carrying out such an attack. If that cable gets cut, we will all be f u cked in ways we never thought possible.

So what is your letter writing skill like? Start practicing. You might need it soon.

MTN is still good, but Airtel is strange.

If you have more than one Airtel SIM, try switching them.

I recently discovered that the Airtel internet network is SIM specific. I can't explain it, but one SIM always works while the older one seems to have one issue a day.
