Benefits of Airtel 4G Network and Airtel Binge

Airtel Nigeria prides itself as the fastest growing 4G Network in Nigeria.

Since the telecommunication company launched the 4G LTE in Ibadan last year, Airtel is fast covering all major towns in Nigeria.

The 4G Long-Term Evaluation (LTE) is a standard for high speed wireless communication for mobile devices and data terminals based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. It increases the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. – Wikipedia

I was prompted to write about the benefits of Airtel 4G Network after receiving some queries regarding same from our users.

Meanwhile, Airtel has been my major companion in terms of data and I must say, I have been impressed with the speed of the 4G LTE in my home, office and village (rocked it this Christmas season).

So to answer my visitors query in full, I contacted Airtel Support through their customer care line – 121.

The agent explained clearly what a customer will benefit for upgrading their 3G Network to 4G.

But before I list out some of the Airtel 4G benefits and the duration of the bonus offers that accrue to a user, let me share with you how to upgrade your 3G Network to 4G.
