And if you will risk not having any of them, you might be better off not risking the MTN network, because,from indications, its seems to perform well than the others, though its rates may be high and its offers and services might be stringent, but you might be more assured of seamless voice and data connection. While 4G network might not be widespread in city, you could be assured of a fairly stable 2G and 3Gs broadband cellular networks.

Glo (Globacom) boasts of fast network speed for internet browsing activities, but that might only be enjoyable in limited locations.
