Broadband or eSIM – which one do I need?
Broadband is internet for your home or office; eSIM is mobile data for your phone. Here's how to choose.
SkyPro Internet sells two products. You buy them separately, and many customers use both.
- Broadband is internet for a place. It stays at your home or office and gives Wi-Fi to every device there.
- eSIM is data for your phone. It goes wherever your phone goes, in Nigeria or abroad.
Side by side
| Home & Business Broadband | eSIM Mobile Data | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Unlimited Wi-Fi internet at one fixed address | Mobile data on your phone |
| Best for | Homes, offices, streaming, remote work, many devices | Travel, commuting, staying online away from home |
| Where it works | Inside our coverage areas in Abuja | Nigeria and 190+ countries |
| How to get it | Check coverage, pick a plan, pay, our team installs | Buy in the SkyPro Internet app and install on your phone |
| Equipment | Outdoor receiver and router, provided by SkyPro Internet | None – uses the eSIM built into your phone |
| Time to connect | Typically 24–72 hours after payment | Minutes |
Quick questions to help you decide
- Will many people or devices use it at the same address? Choose broadband.
- Are you travelling, or do you need data on the move? Choose eSIM.
- Both? Get both. They work well together, and you manage them in the same SkyPro Internet app.
Good to know
- Broadband only works at the address where it's installed. If you move, you'll need to move your service.
- Broadband is currently available only in Abuja. If you live outside Abuja, an eSIM is the option for you.
- eSIM doesn't need a coverage check. Broadband does: check your address first.
