Glo Widens Spectrum, Addresses Congestions and Data Speed—Here’s What It Means for Subscribers

Globacom has carried out major upgrades to its network infrastructure in Nigeria, powered by additional spectrum acquisitions and expanded data capacity designed to deliver faster internet speeds, wider coverage, and a congestion-free experience nationwide.

The latest enhancements, activated on Thursday, are part of Glo’s long-term strategy to build a future-ready network that supports Nigeria’s growing digital economy. Subscribers will enjoy higher data speeds, smoother streaming, clearer voice calls, faster downloads, and improved upload performance—even during peak usage.

To support the expanded network capacity, Glo is rolling out thousands of new LTE sites in Nigeria, with several hundred already live and more planned through the next year. A move which improves indoor and outdoor coverage across major cities, towns, and rural communities.

These new network resources represent a nationwide transformation.

There have also been major improvements on Globacom’s national fibre backbone, boosting data transport across long-haul and metro routes. The result is better reliability and smoother connectivity. Users should expect more stable browsing, seamless video streaming, and consistent service quality nationwide.

Greener, More Reliable Network

Another upgrade is the rollout of hybrid battery power solutions which reduce diesel use and improve uptime—supporting sustainability while keeping the network stable.

Affordable and Uninterrupted Connectivity

Glo remains commitment to affordable data plans, loyalty rewards, SME offers, youth packages and exclusive entertainment on GloTV.

The company believes that, “Every Nigerian should have access to fast, reliable and affordable communication”.

A Better Digital Experience—Everywhere

With more spectrum, more sites, faster speeds and a congestion-free network, these improvements mark the start of a more advanced digital experience for users across Nigeria.
