A lot of people haven’t heard of CTL Nigeria, and that’s understandable. But CTL Nigeria is not a new kid on the block when it comes to provision of Cable Television Services in Nigeria.
Communication Trends Limited (CTL) first started out in 1994. CTL started out strong and was quite popular at the time until they ran into some problems which took several years to solve.
Now, the company is back on its feet and is even better than it used to be. CTL has now come with wide coverage, cheap decoders and subscription packages as well as a large variety of entertainment and sports channels.
Coverage
CTL has a very wide coverage with a presence in most major cities in Nigeria. Some of the cities where you are sure to find CTL coverage in Nigeria include Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Akwa Ibom, Benin, Bayelsa, Delta, Aba, Owerri, Lagos, Warri and several other cities.
Decoder and Installation
CTL decoder is really cheap compared to the costs of decoder for some other major Satellite Television services providers. You can get a CTL decoder for between N8, 000 and N10, 000. This cost also covers for the antenna which is very effective and gives clear and sharp signals.
You can get the decoder from any of their dealers or you can call their customer support centre to find out the address of the closest dealer to you. Their contact details are;
