MTN FibreX Brings Faster Internet to Port Harcourt Areas
MTN Nigeria is intensifying its broadband rollout in Rivers State, bringing its FibreX service to some of Port Harcourt’s most prominent neighbourhoods. The telco’s push into the oil-rich region signals its commitment to connecting more households with fast, affordable, and reliable internet. MTN FibreX is already live in Cocaine Village, Eliozu Road, Eneka, Mummy B, Peter Odili Road, Rumuibekwe, Shell Residential Area, and Tombia. These areas, spread across the city, capture both residential estates and bustling commercial zones, making them prime targets for high-speed broadband adoption. For families, students, and businesses within these locations, FibreX means a smoother digital experience, from streaming and remote learning to powering small businesses with cloud tools.
Unlike traditional internet services that struggle with congestion and downtime, FibreX’s fibre-to-the-home model delivers unlimited, stable connectivity. This makes it easier for homes in Port Harcourt to work, learn, or relax online without interruptions. MTN says the service isn’t reserved only for high-income families; middle- and low-income households are also within reach, with plans designed to make fibre broadband accessible.
The benefits of this coverage stretch beyond entertainment. With Rivers State being a hub for oil, education, and emerging tech ventures, reliable internet opens up opportunities for remote work, e-commerce, and digital innovation. For students in Eneka or Tombia, FibreX offers better access to online learning platforms. For businesses on Eliozu or Peter Odili Road, it provides dependable bandwidth to run operations without downtime. And for residents in Shell Residential Area and Rumuibekwe, it means being connected without worrying about disruptions.
MTN has backed this rollout with significant investment, committing nearly ₦900 billion in 2025 alone to upgrade its network nationwide. While challenges like fibre cuts from vandalism and road construction persist, the company is deploying redundancy systems and AI-powered monitoring to protect connectivity.
For Rivers State, the expansion represents more than just internet, but participation in Nigeria’s digital transformation. By anchoring FibreX in Port Harcourt’s communities, MTN is making high-speed broadband a reality for households that once considered it out of reach, positioning the state as a key player in the country’s digital economy.
