After months of high hopes ntel 4G/LTE
services. Finally, ntel is here with the launched
of their first VoLTE service in Nigeria last
Friday on 8th April. ntel is Nigeria’s most
revolutionary telecommunications company
which provides 4G LTE Advanced network that
delivers super fast call-connect times, crystal
clear Voice over LTE and extraordinarily high
internet access speed (up to 230Mbps).
The ntel 4G LTE finally hits Abuja and Lagos,
Nigeria and it would take some couple of
months before Ntel 4G LTE reaches some
other states in Nigeria. The internet access
speed is amazing, those who purchased their
sim card earlier can testify to it, up to
55.13Mbps on downloads and 24.40Mbps for
uploads.

Fair usage policy now attached to their
unlimited data access, this is due to the fact
that most individuals are likely to use their
unlimited data access for commercial purpose.
According to ntel, “customers likely to be
affected by this policy are those who generate
large volumes of traffic; often have file-sharing
software or peer-to-peer/torrent apps on their
phones or tablets; and download large-format
files such as music, videos and movies
consistently”. However, it’s also noted that any
customer who uses above 3GB data daily
would be slowed down to 512bps, if done
continuously might get disconnected or
blocked.
