MTN Uganda is a leader in Mobile 4G LTE internet. But, 4G just can’t keep up with your home or office internet if you have several devices connected.

Imagine buying MBs for each of those devices. This is why MTN is investing heavily on Home Fiber unlimited internet....

With the OnePlus magic and all, we didn’t quite have much to smile about as these devices didn’t quite make their way to our shores, at least not officially. Stores like Avechi became our source of these devices, but then when they finally got stocked, they weren’t priced as competitively anymore, maybe shipping fees and customs? Also, after-sale support was sh*tty or outright non-existant. But then this could change with this new flagship killer....
