I'm using 4g already but it's not from mtn nor Etisalat.. It's from smile. And it's pretty fast . Since they're giving away free GB I had to register to their network

Definitely Mtn must either be mad or stupid ,, so now they want to be like etisalat with their stingy data plans ,, i no do ,, hold your thing back sef ….
Wow thanks Mr Shelaf. MTN has really tried. Ntel and Smile still limit theirs to some states while MTN made it available to all states nice one .
About to swap my sim card
Why data rate differ? Na wa.
Ridiculous data rates…! But its(4G) awesome,-finally.. now I don't have to travel to India to enjoy 4G.
Wow! I love to use the Abundant data too. Just swapped my sim.

In this erra of mouthwatering data plan offer from Glo – MTN still don't want to upgrade. Ok i'm out for now, find me at samexycool.com
shelaf plz confirm. on Mtn website it says you don't need another data plan, that the former plans work on 4g. are you sure of this info?
Mtn u must be very Redunculous!
Normal data well work on 4G.Already using it
Dat's nice but d their data is too cost.
I saw glo 4g plans on their hsi port for the same price as their 3g counterparts but I'm not sure if the service has launched
I agree with you. That rate is discouraging
So because of 4g lte that's why MTN want to siphon our pockets. Every other network is way cheaper for the same service. MTN is a big thief.
Too expensive
Aswear. Make them chop dia 4g
This article is misleading. MTN 4g is not available in all states. I'm serving in ekiti and I'm in the capital ADO and it's not there. Yes both my sim and phone is/are 4g capable.
not interested.Airtel rocks
MTN is a Fucked Up Network, #Belive Me!!! They just Lauched this, and the rate is High like this?? Na waoooo!!! These rates are for Buisness Centers, especially Cyber Cafe. Soo Enjoy, am not intrested.
"I use the Smart fone network." #wink
If anybody want to unlock the new Mtn and GLO 4G let modem contact me
The 4G is indeed super fast in all aspects of browsing. But the regular data subscription still works perfectly, I don't think it's necessary to do the 4G data sub.
With the rate presented above… I think the 4G service is best described as Exploitation..
Period… And I will say a big NO to it
