MTN outage or just me?

MTN Internet

To do: Check the lights on your MTN router: on a MyMTN Home router, a blue mode light means you're connected.
To do: Light off or another colour? Check the power, the router's SIM and that all cables are securely connected.
To do: Unplug your router and modem, wait 30 seconds, plug them back in and wait for the lights to settle.
To do: Try another device, then a computer plugged in with an Ethernet cable: if that works, it's the Wi-Fi.
To do: Still down? Check your data balance in the MTN app and whether maintenance is scheduled in your area.
