The number of 4G customers of leading mobile operator Grameenphone crossed 1-crore mark within 14 months of introducing the service, said a press release.
GP is the first operator to get 1 crore subscribers of 4G service, which was launched in February 2018, it said.
‘GP crossed the threshold of 50 lakh 4G customers in November 2018 and the later 50 lakh joined within only five months,’ it said.
4G growth, which was primarily in the urban areas, found its way to the semi-urban and rural landscape as faster internet began shaping the lifestyle of the people of Bangladesh, said the release.
GP’s DCEO and CMO Yasir Azman said, ‘Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing 4G market in Asia.’
‘Grameenphone is committed to invest and bring high speed internet to citizens across all over Bangladesh. This milestone of 1 crore 4G subscribers for Grameenphone inspires us to do it better and faster,’ he also said.
Currently, over 3.7 crore customers use the internet on the GP network, said the release.
