MTN Nigeria Expands FibreX to Power Homes with Affordable High-Speed Broadband
With this expansion, MTN is targeting not only to enhance home connectivity but also to strengthen Nigeria’s digital transformation agenda by driving innovation, economic growth, and improved access to digital opportunities.
MTN Nigeria has announced the expansion of its FibreX broadband service, reinforcing its commitment to providing fast, reliable, and affordable internet access to households across the country.
As more families work, learn, stream, and connect from home, MTN said the demand for dependable data services continues to grow. FibreX, the company’s fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) proposition, is designed to meet this rising demand by delivering unlimited high-speed connectivity to Nigerian homes and communities.
According to MTN, FibreX aims to make fibre connectivity more accessible, not only for high-income households but also for middle- and low-income families. The operator projects that over the next three to five years, the majority of data consumption and workloads will increasingly shift to the home, making broadband a critical driver of the digital economy.
“We are of the view that over the next three to five years, a lot more of the data demand and data workloads will actually be generated at the home. And as an MTN group, more broadly, we need to be very well positioned to be able to serve our customers best in that world where workloads are moving more to the home.”
-Ralph Mupita, Group CEO and President, MTN
MTN also plans to introduce redundancy solutions that combine fibre and fixed wireless access, ensuring customers experience minimal outages and uninterrupted service. The company emphasized its ambition to become the largest fibre-to-the-home operator in Nigeria, positioning FibreX as a key enabler of digital inclusion.
“We are going to be, by a country mile, the largest fibre-to-the-home operator, and we’ll also eventually provide redundancy solutions where you have a combination of your fiber and fixed wireless access so that at no point in time do you ever experience any outage.”
-Karl Toriola, CEO, MTN Nigeria
With this expansion, MTN is targeting not only to enhance home connectivity but also to strengthen Nigeria’s digital transformation agenda by driving innovation, economic growth, and improved access to digital opportunities.
