Check Your Data Balance

Before i get into the complex solutions, let’s start with the basics.

Sometimes, slow internet can simply be due to a low or exhausted data balance. Dial *323# to check your data balance. If it’s low, consider buying a data bundle to keep surfing the Internet smoothly.

Restart Your Device

Switch Network Mode

If your internet is still slow, try switching your network mode. Go to your phone’s settings, navigate to ‘Mobile Networks,’ and switch between 3G and 4G. Sometimes, one network mode might be more stable than the other, depending on your location.

Check Network Coverage

MTN’s network coverage can vary from place to place. Make sure you’re in an area with good network reception. If you’re indoors, try moving closer to a window or going outside to see if that improves your signal.

Update Your APN Settings

Incorrect APN settings can lead to slow internet speeds. To check or update your APN settings, follow these steps:

1. Go to ‘Settings‘ on your phone.
2. Select ‘Mobile Networks‘ or ‘Cellular Networks.’
