      MTN’s fibre broadband isn’t portable. You can move it when you relocate. So, if someone gave you theirs and you don’t live close by, you’ll have to get a new one.

      Either way, we recommend contacting MTN for further details. If it’s possible to install it, they’re the only ones who can do it for you.

  • Bella, I moved houses and got connected to MTN Fibre broadband, 200+gb on my turbonet lasts me like some 2+months.But fibre lasts for only one month at most. I’m not a heavy user. Just normal office mails exchange, social media and Netflix. I don’t even download the movies.What could be the cause and what can be done about it?

      This is probably a result of faster internet speed on the fibre. With a faster speed than the turbonet, things like videos or large files load quicker, so more data is used in less time. For example, when you stream Netflix on a fast connection, it often loads in higher quality (HD or 4K), using more data even if you’re watching for the same amount of time.

      Reply
    • Bella is right… When streaming services like Netflix/YouTube notice you have a faster internet, they upscale the quality (like from 720 to 1080 or 1080 to 4K) thereby using more data. You can manually adjust your video quality settings on your streaming devices to use less data.
