the results of healthy competition....


2000 sim card was 50k now its almost free
2000 per minute call was 50naira now its less than 20naira


more innovations and competitions brings better economic growth
Without appropriate punctuations(comma,collon,semi-collon,hyphen, full stop etc) your sentences sound gibberish.

4G LTE has download speed of 300mb/s . 3G has download speed of 42mb/s.
With our current 3G, I'm sure nobody ever got download speed of up to 10mb/s. So let's hope this 4G thingy gives us at least the normal speed of 3G in other countries. Not 4G that will be giving 200kb/s .

Good morning!!!!!

When their competitors roll out 5G, they would shape up!!!!

Compare like for like. Which Africa country is on 5G?

MTN doesn't like Nigeria , they launched it smaller countries before Nigeria , took West Africa HQ to Ghana. I am waiting.

forget all this 4G LTE nonsense. we should working on affordable fixed broadband connection. 5k a month in Rands(approximate value) gets you unlimited data at 4mbps and installation costs as much a DSTV decoder. we cant even get 100gb for 10k and glo has fibre optic network but they wont mention it because this exploiting our naivete makes them more money. its just sad sometimes when you see potential being wasted

Smh for Nigeria networks on. They just wanna roll out 4G in 2016 when 5G is currently been tested in some again countries. Half loaf is better than none tho but this late upgrading of services is meaningless despite paying huge sum.
In my town, we don't even have 1G, thanks to Saraki!!! huh

Hmmmm Kindly assist some info what makes up 5G. From my limited knowledge in Telecom, LTE forms a clear diversion from the so-called GSM listed on 3Gpp.

5G has not been deployed anywhere in the world. 5G standards and specifications are still been defined and there are currently wide skepticism among the various standard bodies.

Most specifications you see online today e.g. on Wikipedia on what will be incoopearted into 5G are speculations, suggestions, anticipations or expectations; nothing is cut in stone and has not been adopted by 3gpp.

The best speculative deployment of the first 5G network is bill for 2020.

4G LTE is not moimoi, as someone who was involved with LTE rollout in the USA for one of the major carrier, LTE presents a tough challenge for the carriers in Nigeria because Nigeria Terrance and IP and flat network requirements of LTE,

It is even more easier to deploy these technologies in rural areas in Nigeria than in the mega cities because carriers have to lay physical fiber cables from their cell sites to their various switching stations or to an ICT, which is significant departure from the use of wireless microwave and radio to aggregate services from base stations to switching stations or ICT today. However, the low revenue generation from rural areas will discourage implementations in rural areas.

MTN can never loose(?) customers, in fact check your contacts right now, I'm sure 98% are MTN numbers.
They are loosing already. Can't you see the aggressive advertising on their various promos? Why is glo number one in data? MTN has being dominating that segment for long ago until now.

You are dumb. Roll out does not mean for sales. Mind you it's not even in the testing phase as hardware's for it is still been worked on. When you are testing a product means you are already given samples which is a phase of roll out. 5g is still in its embryo stage

Always use google when you are not sure of something. 5G has already been tested in countries like South Korea and the US. Though it will take a few more years before being deployed for commercial purpose.

No country in the world has deployed 5G for commercial purpose. It has only been tested by a few carriers.

hello people, ntel is bringing something great. Check out speed tests from Abuja and you just have to chill. make una wait

They actually had this planned out long before now but waited to watch NTEL test the waters and fail at it before they launched theirs
ntel hasn't really failed as some think. ntel, as it stands, in some aspects, has advantage over MTN, given the fact that MTN plans to rollout its LTE on a single spectrum. ntel currently has two spectrums, band 3(1800) and 8(900), and band 3 is far more popular than band 20(800), which MTN plans to rollout its lte on. Also, ntel supports LTE-A, using carrier aggregation, which requires two spectrums on FD-LTE bands.
Re: MTN Plans To Roll Out 4G LTE Services To Selected Nigerian States In July by fejicruz(m): 1:43pm On May 16, 2016
Only for the purpose of making & answering calls. The thousands those people would have sent on data subscription is forever gone.

Youngpo413:
let them go, at the end they will still come back to MTN.

Sounds quite good, but NTEL ain't taking advantage of the first step. Heard reason for the delay was an unexpected hiccups with some bandwidth frequencies on popular mobile devices. I don expect MTN to stop there though because there are not too many devices that supports the frequency they are about to roll out on

Don't worry it's only selected cities but de finely it will get to Delta in no distance time. Remember how 3G was launched then until it finally spread across the states of the federation

Project400:
Someone should tell ntel to go back to the drawing board.

ntel needs to readdress its SWOT & PESTEL analysis. We do not see them excelling with the current strategies and data plans. The telecommunication industry is strictly competitive.

While the network hitherto thrived on the platform of "buy naija to grow naija", Nigerians would not forfeit affordability for patriotism. Even the Nigerian government had to partner with Chinese firms for cost effective roads.
Ntel are aware of what you said. Their strategy will different from others but they will come out with mouth washering offer. Quality is very important because it will be useless to have cheap data plan yet experience poor network signal. A good example is glo mobile that are offering cheap data but it's network strength is below average in most areas across nigeria
