MTN FibreX Review: Scam, Deceitful, Lies (What to Know)

 MTN FibreX was launched on on April 23, 2025 with the aim of providing unlimited free internet to supported locations i.e those with the MTN cable connection on their street. However, they have silently started scamming their users. This article contains what they're doing and why they're not recommended.

My review is from experience using MTN FibreX for 1 year now (as of the time this article was published). I have been a regular customer, subscribing monthly. However, MTN scam has become so much that I had to make this MTN FibreX Scam Review.

MTN FibreX Scam Review (Full Evidence)

MTN are scamming their customers with FibreX and very few like me would notice.

On October 21st 2026, I received a text message from MTN Broadband that they're doing Promo. If i upgrade from my usual N30,000 plan (50mbps) to N45,000 plan (100mbps) I will be upgraded for free to the N70,000 plan (200mbps).

Guess what, after I upgraded to the 45,000 plan, I was given close to the 200mbps plan only for about 3 days. MTN scam here is that the user would not notice this since they offered the 200mbps (which I confirmed with speed test) for only 3 days.

The fact the 100mbps is enough for streaming, browsing and downloading. MTN believe they can scam anyone not smart enough to redo the speed test.

I contacted MTN, after redirecting me to several support channels, up to the final destination of email. They acknowledge the issue and said they will revert. They did not.

3 Days since contacting MTN Broadband Support with no reply, I decided to do another speed test and noticed I was downgraded further to 42MBPS which is even lower than the N30,000 plan of 50MBPS. So meaning I have now been scammed from 200MBPS to 100MBPS to even less than 50MBPS.

So if you are yet to get MTN FibreX and intend doing so. Do not subscribe to their higher prices which are;

MTN FibreX Scam Plans (You Must Not Buy)

100 Mbps (Unlimited) ₦45,000

While on this plan, you can see my actual download speed is 42mbps. So do not buy.

200 Mbps (Unlimited) ₦70,000

While I was step up for just 3 days, my speed was around 170mbps, still not 200mbps. But still close, so I was not concerned.

300 Mbps (Unlimited) ₦100,000

This will be the biggest mistake to send to MTN for them to scam you when they have not fixed their 70,00 plan.

1 Gbps (Unlimited) ₦200,000

As a company, do not waste your money. Use alternatives like Starlink instead.
