MTN Uganda today announced a long-awaited product to its internet offering; allowing customers to purchase monthly Unlimited Internet packages. The move is significant as it offers customers a chance to enjoy high speed internet with no data caps and no MBs to recharge.
MTN is already known for providing the fastest speeds since its introduction of 4G LTE connectivity 2 years ago. MTN’s 4G LTE network is the largest in the country, spanning across all major towns countrywide.
As part of its vision to lead the delivery of a bold new Digital World, MTN continuously invests heavily in technologies to achieve this.
The introduction of unlimited packages represents a major shift in customer demands for heavy internet usage, away from the traditional bundles characterized by data caps. The MTN Unlimited packages are available for as low as 99,000/- per month.

“MTN has over the years continued to invest in infrastructure and technology that guarantee a world-class experience for customers using our Internet. Today we would like to give them the freedom to use the internet unlimited and enjoy a truly amazing high speed experience,” he concluded.
The General Manager MTN Business Anthony Katamba noted, “With widespread changes in information technology that have enabled business and lifestyle cloud services, it is no longer convenient to maintain data caps on all Internet packages and we are delighted to have been able to develop a solution that allows users to connect to these services without any barriers.”
