Swiftness is often considered good office behaviour. The quicker you perform a certain task, the more productive you are. However, fast you might want your own self to be, certain factors might slow down your pace and one of them is poor and/or slow mobile network coverage.

The reason for this poor network coverage may be pointed to the high number of users per network mass thereby reducing the swift movement of data.

Other causes of slow internet processing are best known to telecom companies.

These are tasks that require more data and faster processing. 4G LTE is currently the fastest wireless data connection technology that exists.

Although expensive than the normal data subscription, MTN 4G LTE service is roundly effective and accords smooth browsing.
