Telecom company has launched its own 4G LTE service too

Few days after news broke that MTN and Glo had launched their 4G LTE services, Etisalat Nigeria has joined the club and started rolling out its own 4G LTE services to some parts of Nigeria.

Mathew Willsher, CEO of Etisalat Nigeria, speaking at the launch said, “The 4G LTE technology offers our customers increased access to high speed data and quality voice services real time. With the new technology, our customers will enjoy efficient broadband internet and uninterrupted connectivity to clearer voice calls, increased access to online streaming and ultra-high definition videos.”

If you live in Lagos and use the Etisalat network, you have probably found 4G in certain locations. TechCabal'sTolaAgunbiade however confirms that the service is definitely live in Yaba and Ikeja.

Unlike MTN, Etisalat subscribers will not need to swap of change SIMs since Etisalat are already 4G enabled. According to Willsher, “For us at Etisalat, our passion is to be at the forefront of promoting a vibrant economy for Nigeria by leading the digital revolution.” Talk about being proactive.

Etisalat launching its own 4G LTE service means only one telco is left without a 4G LTE offering - Airtel.
