A few LTE facts
While LTE offers theoretical maximum speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the global average that users experience is less than 10 Mbps.

The ten largest US cities all get less than 10Mbps in average download speeds. One report puts the average download speeds of the following US LTE networks as follows: T-Mobile: 11.2 Mbps, AT&T: 8.9 Mbps and Verizon: 7.6 Mbps. So, if your LTE network delivers an average of 5 to 7 Mbps, you are doing good actually. With those speeds, streaming media and
downloading all but the heaviest files is a breeze.

Run Your 4G LTE Speed Tests If you are using any of the above 4G LTE networks, you can run a speed test and post your results in the comments section below. Actually, the more tests you run, the better. Have fun, and thanks for contributing.

The small EDGE and 3G we're managing they haven't been able to give us excellent services. Which one is 4G again? Yeye People

Wetin u mean by keg?

Spectranet na wash.. do not buy Spectranet if you like yourself, there services is bad and customer service is horrible...
They will do anything for you to buy there modem but after that, they don't give a d@mn...

Dis NCC is more annoying than mosquitoes buzzing in ur ears at nite while u try to slip. D edge ntwrk available is erratic as it comes, d so called 3G and 3.5 hasn't even gone round yet and here dey are issuing out more licenses like dat was d priority at d moment. Wat shld b more important is making sure the 3G atleast goes round at best and the quality of service improved. These ntwrk's are ripping us off.

Smile network I hail thee. 21Mbps that ka or Ku bands are yet to give. 21mbps through put; I'm so migrating to ibadan
Kudos to them

I use a spectranet in abuja... And its the bomb. There speed and customer care is superb.

I am afraid of recommending them to others least so many people come on board the network thereby making their service slow like they did to starcomms.

I am that selfish. Please stay away from spectranet. Especially if you are in Abuja.
