Speaking to Damian, an IT Expert, he said, ‘Because of the nature of my work, I am always connected to the internet. Personally I went in for MTN’s TurboNet router because of its affordability. The price increase is a big jump and it will force me to seek for affordable but effective alternatives. I however console myself with their non-expiry data packages’.

Enock, a Network Technician reports: ‘A friend recommended MTN’s TurboNet to me and testified of its reliability, affordability and speed. And when I finally purchased one, I wasn’t disappointed.
