MTN Hynet plans have speed limitation and they're very expensive as you can see in your screenshot. But MTN LTE, which is deployed over band 7(2600), has no speed limit, and the normal 3G data plans are compatible with it and it's very fast.

With the 100% data bonus offer from MTN, I get 3gb for 1k, 20gb for 5k, etc. Also, 99.9% of LTE devices worldwide support MTN LTE band 7(2600).

Same here — at least until the unlimited package in it's present form is taken away, or made unjustifiably more expensive.

Sorry please what's the advantage of the band 28 over others

None really. It's just that a good majority of mainstream LTE capable phones do NOT even support the band. It's a rarely used band. less than 1% of the phones used in Nigeria will work on GLO LTE. If you have a phone that happens to support this band, then you should get pretty good connection and speeds (in locations that have LTE), because you are probably one of the VERY few using LTE on GLO. As I posted in other threads, GLO will have to deploy their LTE on one of the other common LTE bands (3,7, or 20), in order to get LTE to most of their subscribers.

For Etisalat you don't need a 4g sim swap for all their Sims are 4g enabled.

I'm yet to experience Ntel, I bought the sim since early October and the lady didn't register my line even after taking all my details. I visited their office later to rectify the problem but they said she was on leave and that it was only her that can register my line since she sold it to me. I've called and called but to no avail. She has even stopped picking my calls or replying to my chats. The worse is that she would pass by my office to go register new customers but won't come. She doesn't care because I've paid and I've already added to her customer base.
I'm only hoping the government could legalize the possession of arms so I can make out time and come to their office and shoot her right in the head. sad

This makes no sense! How can she be the only one that can register your line. They are all using the same system. They just need to log in and retrieve your information, or they can just register the damn thin again. What if she never comes back to work. I agree with you...there is a lot of frustration in that country, and something needs to be done.

Actually, like posters such as dustmalik pointed out earlier — and I have personally ascertained — band 28 penetrates walls and barriers better than most, giving you better reception indoors. For example, whereas I get 1/2/3 bars max on any band on the 5372s-601, Glo's 5377Bs-508 delivers a full, rock solid five bars more than 95% of the time, in my estimation this far, with both devices indoors, on 4G, and in their individually best reception areas. So, it's not just that there are reportedly less users at this time on Glo's band 28, IMHO.

Still, individual miles may vary!
