For the past two weeks, the upgrades have been carried out in nine strategic sites in a bid to ensure speedy and stable access to mobile internet.

According to Airtel Malawi’s Publicist Edith Tsilizani, the upgraded sites are Lilongwe Bus Depot, Maula Prison, Bwaila, Area 25 C, Area 36, Area 48 and the Bingu International Conference Center.

“Access to speedy and reliable Internet is a must,” Tsilizani said adding that other upgrades have also been done in Blantyre and Dwangwa recently.

Tsilizani said they will keep on carrying out these upgrades to make sure that subscribers enjoy the best internet experience in Malawi.

Malawi has the worst internet and telephone services in the entire world.Somebody in the Ministry of Information should try to hold the balls of Airtel and TNM to give its customers better service.There is no point in going to 3G when Rwanda and others are moving to 4G and yet their services are appauling.
