MTN TurboNet and Fibre broadband: Spot the difference

MTN TurboNet and fibre broadband have been preferred by many internet users.

Trust us to provide you with all the differences so you can always make an informed decision on either of the options available to you.

MTN TurboNet is a plug-and-play super high-speed 4G Internet router. It comes with a high-powered external antenna and data SIM, enabling it to deliver fast Internet in 4G locations. TurboNet provides instant high-speed Internet for up to 32 users simultaneously.

However, to enjoy its service, the user must be within MTN’s 4G coverage area.

Why you should opt for MTN’s TurboNet;

1. It is affordable (Gh¢ 499)
2. Simple to set up (plug and play)
3. No fibre installable or coverage needed
4. Fast Internet (4G LTE speed of up to 300Mbps)

Device features:

• Connect up to 32 users at a time
• Plug & Play 4G router
• 1 x Landline phone port
• AC powered
• Two connectors for an external router
• 4 x LAN ports (One for LAN/WAN)

On the other hand, MTN fibre broadband is a high-speed fibre broadband service that provides rapid and reliable internet access. Fibre broadband generated its name from the use of glass cables or plastic, which permits faster data transfer compared to the standard copper wires which are used in frequent broadband.

MTN Fibre broadband

1. Provides a variety of data speeds of up to 60Mbps.
2. Provides uninterrupted internet access and is affordable and reliable.
3. Provides a faster speed than copper.
4. Top-up can be made via cheque, MTN Mobile Money and MTN Airtime.

As stated, TurboNet allows for convenience since it can be moved to any place of your choice as long as there is 4G connectivity. In contrast, Fibre broadband is a fixed service provided in homes or businesses.

Fibre broadband can take an unlimited number of users, while TurboNet can take up to 32 users.

Regardless of these differences, the data packages of  MTN TurboNet and Fibre broadband are the same.

If a customer is situated within a Fibre Zone (where Fibre broadband cables are laid), then Fibre broadband will be best recommended.

Customers should opt for TurboNet if they find themselves in areas with no Fibre broadband cables.

It is important to point out that MTN turbonet is not available to individuals but to companies. This is to manage the number of users on its spectrum.
