“They’re not readily available in some parts of the country, you can go to somewhere like Taraba state and you can’t find Smile or any other of the 4G providers in those kind of states so I have to rely on the regular 3G providers, that’s the regular GSM providers for my data and my internet. Another reason is that the 4G providers are a lot more expensive than the 3G providers so you find that your running costs are way higher than what they’re supposed to be.

With more business entering the market to provide 4G technology the competition will lead to a decrease in pricing
