If you’re on MTN and suffering the curse of slow data on your smartphone, the fix is in! MTN have announced the roll out of  R8 billion worth of 3G wireless stations to enhance service provision across the country.

MTN is Africa’s largest provider of mobile telecommunications services, and has around 3000 wireless 3G base stations in South Africa alone.

“Data is the future,” according to Lambo Kanagaratnam, chief technology officer at MTN South Africa,  “within the next two years we will more than double the 3G base stations in the country.”

The company is also aiming to close the telecommunications gaps in the continent’s  poorest rural areas.  “That will help to bridge the gap between those who have Internet connectivity and those who don’t,” says Kanagaratnam.
