Through this post you will discover all the states in Nigeria with 4G network coverage. While some states are still struggling to use 3G network, some has already being covered with 4G LTE network from several operators in the country.

ReplyDeleteUsing AIRTEL as a case study, which of the underlined items do i have to purchase so as to receive their 4G LTE reception:
✔ Router
✔ Modem?
On airtel network, you don't have to buy a router or modem. All you need to do is work into an airtel office with your SIM and request for an upgrade to 4G services and they will do it
DeleteWhich of the 4G bands are they operating on?
DeleteOAU campus in Ile-Ife is covered by Glo LTE
ReplyDeleteI have been searching for the frequency of the 4g which AIRTEL uses but nothing is forthcoming.
ReplyDeleteI wanna use this opportunity to post the bands of other networks for the consumption of the general public.
