Fibre or WIFI is a good alternative for internet connection but has some challenges. Home networking Wi-Fi routers reach up to 150 feet (46 m) indoors and 300 feet (92 m) outdoors. This is a broad area, but you cannot confine yourself to one place because of the internet connection. Instead, use an affordable MTN WhatsApp bundle if you are outside your WIF's coverage area.
