If you want to know how to get the best data rates for cost-effective browsing, downloads, streaming, and uploads, keep reading because we have the answer inside.
Having analyzed dozens of MTN Data Plans we made one important observation.
The most cost-effective MTN Data Plans are the Broadband Plans and the Unlimited Data Plans and both are exclusive to MTN Broadband devices like the MTN 5G Routers, the MTN 4G Routers, and the MTN MiFi.
MTN Unlimited Data Plans and Broadband plans are not accessible on your Android Phones and iPhones. You will need to buy an MTN Router or MiFi to subscribe to them.
This means that if you want to get the best data rates, you need to get a router or MiFi device.
For example, if your budget is ₦20,000, and you want to subscribe to a data plan on your mobile phone, the best you can buy is the 75GB monthly data plan. However, with your router or MiFi, you can subscribe to the 150GB unlimited data plan. That is at least 100% more data at the same price. This is even if we ignore the 5GB daily limit that you get when you have used up your FUP of 150GB for the month.
To subscribe to a 150GB monthly data plan on your phone, you will need ₦35,000. That is a whole ₦15,000 more.
So, if your data subscriptions are via your smartphone, you will be paying more for data compared to if you subscribe to a Broadband or Unlimited data plan via your MTN broadband devices like MiFi and Router.
How Do You Get Cheaper MTN Data Plans in 2025?
To get cheaper MTN Data Plans, simply buy an MTN Broadband device like a router or MiFi for your home or office. This will enable you to access better data rates on MTN Unlimited and Broadband data plans which are not accessible on mobile phones, but exclusive to MTN routers and MiFi.
You can then do most of your heavy downloads and online streaming at home or in the office via your MiFi or router and then subscribe to a cheap and cost-effective weekly plan like the MTN 5GB weekly plan which costs ₦1500 for browsing when you are on the move.
Some MTN Routers and MiFi are compact and portable making them easy to carry around even when you are on the move.
