I think it's area dependent.. full speed at my end...

Talking of glo

I easily download 1gb movies within minutes

Okay. Thanks. I notice that too...I mean, it being dependent on location. Some places where my Airtel data doesn't work, my Glo data works.

Airtel bleeped me up yesterday, I had to use glo as you surf to asses the net.

Is your phone 3G or 4G? There is huge difference in terms of performance/speed between Glo 3G and 4G. Same applies to other providers.

network strength varies by area. densely populated area get better attention because if is profitable to providers. just experiment and see which is best in your vicinity then go with that.
But mtn isn't like that how come?

Maybe it's ur area..

Glo 4G is extremely fast my download speed gets to 2mb/s and that's is network speed for some providers.

Glo 3G is terrible though.
Area may matter though
But even mtn 3G is faster than 2mb/s
Here is a screenshot of mtn 4G. It fluantuates between 5mb/6mb while downloading

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Fast networks like Etisalat and MTN eat up data like crazy.
If you want to save data stick to the slower networks (Glo).

I'm tired of my Glo... Sometimes it will be okay (not fast), and sometimes it will be annoyingly slow.

After midnight, I can download a 100 mb movie within 2 minutes, but it will take 1 hour to download the same movie in the day time.

I also have Airtel line, and it is a bit faster than my Glo, but they zap data like crazy. Sometimes, they don't even warn you before your data finishes... You can have 400mb one minute, and the next, you get message you don't have data again.

I don't know how Etisalat and MTN are. Guys, which Network do you think I should go for? I really need fast internet connection cos of what I do on Instagram... Using Instagram with my Glo can be so frustrating. Sometimes I feel like throwing the Sim away, but they give some really good bonuses when you recharge a lot.
I have all the networks. For me mtn seems to be the best. I do the 6gig for 1 week plan that rolls over if not exhausted. It cost 1500.

MTN.
Just Mtn 3G is better than glo and airtel 4G.
It rarely has network issues.
But expensive than the rest, no freebies.

All MTN IP's are flagged by firewalls. If you surf the internet, and not just frequent the usual suspects, you will find MTN is bad for business.
If you are visiting a foreign site with good security, you are more likely to receive a blank page, 403 or captcha using MTN. lipsrsealed

Secondly, streaming on MTN is a joke. You are charged more for streaming. I am sure of this, I stream all the time.

which site are you downloading money heist from?

Toxicwap....but that site is really toxic, filled with porn ads. I'm looking for another site to download the series from.
Re: Which Network Provider In Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Connection? by Punchline33: 1:13pm On Apr 24, 2020
I have been using airtel non stop for 2 years now and many ppl around me have joined. Whenever MTN give me free data i dont even bother to use it cos i dont want headache.

If u have plenty money and want speed, Etisalat
If u have money and want speed, Airtel
If u have small money and want movement, MTN
If u have small money and want to stand still Glo

Verdict: Airtel.
If u work in CBN use 9mobile/Etisalat

I have been downloading this episode of money heist since around 5:30. The first time around, the download was almost complete and it failed after like 45 minutes. I tire for this line.

Update...

I live in Ibadan...in an area called, Ajobo (close to Ojoo)

MTN generally


9Mobile or Etisalat is also good

Don't think i have really notice that, but i think you can easily solve that by creating a blank access point

Someone needs to sit Mr. Adenuga down and seriously have a word with him with special regards to the efficiency and connectivity of his telecommunications brand...

A lot of Nigerians bought Glo sims massively during that xenophobia nonsense with a view to retiring mtn, but it took them few weeks to face reality...

Let's just say MTN is going nowhere anytime soon... Smh!!! undecided
I said more than this b4 pls buy Glo 4G sim and thank me later since January I switched to Glo I know am missing something.Iphone users Glo is specially made 4 u

I learnt something recently. The type of phone you use matters. I use infinix hot S and my room mate uses xiaomi redmi note 7. We both subscribe to airtel 4G. We are always indoor. I only have network outside the building but my guy do make uninterrupted video calls in the room. Imagine.
