How To Subscribe to MTN Nigeria's Internet Plans

UPDATE 10th July 2014 : You can now get as much as 1GB of MTN data for just N1500. Click here for more details

In my honest opinion, the MTN Nigeria's internet has got to the be the worst of the lot of internet subscriptions I've tried n the past. It just seems to crawl for like forever and I never got to use 1.2GB of my plan in the 30 days slot due to bad network and slow speed.
On the other hand, some folks like my lil' brother are having a major blast with it even while living in the same house. It's as fast as depicted in that advert of the secretary doing backflips to and fro the copier machine @ work .
MTN has two basic internet subscription plans. One for mobile phones and another for computers etc. It really doesn't matter which one you get as they can both function in any environment. That is ,your MTN Mobile Internet subscription can equally be used on your computer.
All MTN SIM cards come pre-enabled with data browsing so no need to worry. If you need the internet settings for MTN Nigeria, you can find it @ the end of this post.
Quick Notice: If you have excellent Etisalat reception in your area, you might want to check out these offers of 1GB data allowance for N2,000 and 2GB data allowance for N3,000. Click here for more details.
