MTN resilience upgrades improves network experience for users

MyBroadband measured the impact of MTN's plan to upgrade its key sites as part of a comprehensive network resilience plan.

The plan included working with vendors and providers to upgrade rectifiers, add additional battery capacity – allowing for a minimum of six hours of battery autonomy – and increase the number of static and mobile generators.

As much as myBB news articles try to convince me otherwise, MTN simply does not have the same quality network as VodaCom overall. I'm not talking just speed, but stability.
