Lagos is well wired up with a network of fibre optic cables criss-crossing the more urban areas of the state. A growing number of ISPs ride on these cables to deliver unlimited Home Internet service to residences across the state. Say hello to fiber optic internet providers in Lagos, Nigeria.

The service that they provide goes by a variety of names: home wifi, home Internet, home fibre internet, etc. How it works is that a fibre optic cable delivers the service to your street, a cable connects the fibre to your home, where it terminates at a router. This router then broadcasts the Internet connect as a wireless connection (hotspot), to which you can connect your PC, smartphones, tablet, smart TV and any other device that requires an Internet connection.

Unlimited Home Internet Service is provided by fiber optic internet providers.

With everyone having access to generous data plans from the mobile networks, is there are reason to subscribe to an unlimited Home Internet service? Are there any benefits to getting connected to any of the new wave of fiber optic internet providers in Lagos?

Advantages of Unlimited Home Internet Service via Fibre Optic Cable

The top advantage of using a fiber optic internet provider is that cable Internet is more reliable than wireless connections, as it is less susceptible to the weather. All other things being equal, a cable link will stay running regardless of dark, heavy, rainy weather.

Also, it is often without a data cap or throttling. While wireless networks tend to have a fair usage policy and speed throttle in place, fibre-based connections do not. Having understood these, let’s look at the available unlimited home Internet providers in Lagos.

Disadvantages of using fiber optic internet providers in Lagos

The big disadvantage of getting unlimited home Internet service through a fiber optic Internet provider is that cable damages happen every now and then. Someone digs up the road to lay a pipe or execute a drainage and causes damage to fiber optic cables in the process.

With proper planning, this shouldn’t happen too often, but it happens often enough for it to be an irritant. Usually, though, the average fiber optic internet providers has a backup connection for when faults happen along their main cables. These backup cables deliver a slower connection by default.
