Internet subscriptions by operator

  • MTN Nigeria which is the largest operator by subscriber number maintained its leadership position as it gained in July. However, the operator recorded a 68,177 decline in its internet subscriptions, which brought its database to 63.7 million from the 63.8 million it recorded in June.
  • Airtel also retained its second position in terms of internet subscriptions in July, even though it recorded a decline in its internet customer database. The telecom operators lost 388,307 subscriptions in the month under review, which reduced its database to 41.3 million from 41.7 million in June.
  • The NCC data showed that the increase in subscriptions for July was driven solely by Globacom, which gained 1.3 million new subscriptions to offset the losses recorded by others. Globacom’s internet subscriptions increased from 39.9 million in June to 41.2 million at the end of July.
  • Like MTN and Airtel, 9mobile’s internet subscription also declined in the month. The telecom operator lost 204,309 subscriptions, which brought its internet customer database to 5.03 million at the end of July 2022.
