Smile Nigeria Commends Globacom, MainOne

A pioneering 4G LTE broadband network provider, Smile Nigeria, has praised the efforts of MainOne and Globacom for their roles in helping the company during the disruption of service that occurred due to a cut in a submarine cable.

Smile's chief executive officer, Ahmad Farroukh, said that “the relentless support both firms offered to the company to aid the quick delivery of additional capacity required during the recent WACS submarine fibre cut.

“The huge demand for IP capacity from other operators in Nigeria during the unfortunate event”.

He also expressed his company’s deep appreciation for “the commitment proffered by MainOne and Globacom to make quick alternative arrangements with multiple upstream providers to accommodate our network”.

Smile regretted any inconvenience caused by the slight disruption in its service rendition in some areas and assured all its stakeholders that their best interest remains uppermost in all its consideration.
