MTN Uganda has boosted its Internet data speed by providing a 21.9Mbps upgrade on its 3G+ service
With more than one million Internet users on its networks, the company added that there was a need to bolster the existing infrastructure, services and coverage to meet the growing demands of users in Uganda.
A company statement said that MTN will establish more than 300 3G+ sites across Uganda in order to boost customer experience.
“The move is another step to improve MTN’s data and mobile services," said MTN Uganda chief marketing officer, Ernst Fonternel.
