What are MTN Fibre X bundles?

MTN Fibre X bundles are a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service that delivers high-capacity, low-latency internet to homes and small offices. Unlike routers that rely on 4G or 5G signals, Fibre X uses fibre-optic cables to provide a direct connection to premises, resulting in more consistent speeds and reduced latency compared to wireless alternatives.
