Lifi.net, a fast-growing internet service provider, has attained internet speed that is many times faster than the documented average internet speed in Nigeria as at January 2024.
LIfi.net disclosed this in a recent statement, where it said the company delivered up to 500 megabits per seconds (mbps) internet speed in unlimited services provided to homes and offices, which is higher than the country’s average internet speed of 26.74mbps.
As internet subscriber base increases in Nigeria and hits 161.68 million in January, the quality of internet service provided by operators to their users still constitutes concerns as 2G network, which has limited speed that dominates the space by covering 57.78 per cent.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) revealed through its latest data that while 3G is responsible for 9.36 per cent of internet users in the country, 4G covers 31.75 per cent of internet access and 5G internet only serves 1.11 per cent of internet users in the country.
The combination explains why Nigeria ranked 93rd on the global mobile internet speed test out of 144 countries tested by Ookla, a US-based internet speed analysis firm, in January, putting the country’s median internet speed at 26.74 megabits per second (mbps).
However, Lifi.net is among few Internet service providers (ISPs) that deliver fastest internet speed in Nigeria with up 350mbps for homes and 2500mbps for offices while assisting new ISPs with speeds over 5000mbps at the data centre and delivering the capacity to their various hubs at no extra cost
Giving details about the speed of its internet service delivery, the Chief Operating Officer of Lifi.net, Abraham Oluwambe, said: “For over five years Lifi.net has been a leading network company, providing quality internet solutions at the speed of light and at affordable rates. We have highly technical and hard-working personnel and partners. We are very skilled at managing Cisco and Mikrotik Routers’ deployment, configurations, and integrations, fibre laying, and splicing.”
