Nigeria is moving several activities online like the rest of the world as more people engage in the home office as well as studying and doing business.
Broadband connection and fast internet are more relevant in the country now in order to achieve success in these daily activities.

The fixed wireless offers 17.05 Mbps and 15.28 Mbps in upload speed. A connection above 4 Mbps would indicate an absolute high speed.

What internet technology is available in Nigeria in 2021
A number of telcos in Nigeria provide internet connections to homes and offices with a range of technology.
While satellite and cable technology for internet connections are fast, fibre optic is considered the faster among them. This is due to its super download and upload speeds of 10,000+ Mbps respectively.
Fibre optics have hence become the best choice for high-speed broadband connection for most people.
Both the fixed wireless and mobile broadband are associated with the new 5G technology introduced in Nigeria. However, 5G network will employ higher frequencies to make faster internet speeds possible.
