Top 10 internet service providers in Nigeria – NCC
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

…Nigeria has 264 ISPs, only 108 active in June 2023

…ISPs has only 194,012 active customers

As part of efforts to ensure Nigeria achieves the implementation of its National Broadband Plan (NNBP 2020-2025), there has been a swell in the number of companies licenced to provide internet service across the country.

The Internet Service Providers (ISPs), separate from the mobile network operators, will be playing a critical role in taking the high bandwidth capacity on the shores of the country to the last mile.

Through services such as Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH), these ISPs are expected to help the country achieve the target of 70 % broadband penetration by 2025. To that end, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been licencing more ISPs in recent times, bringing the total number to 264 as of June 2023.

Suffice it to clarify that the ISPs, operating in their license domain differently from the mobile network operators, are serving mainly corporate organisations and homes, as opposed to the likes of MTN, Airtel, Globacom, and 9mobile, who are targeting the entire spectrum of internet users in the country.

It is, therefore, not surprising that while the MNOs were counting over 150 million active internet subscriptions as of Q1 2023, the ISPs were still counting thousands of subscriptions. According to NCC’s total of 108 active ISPs, whose data were made available had a total of 194,012 active customers at the end of March this year.

The latest NCC’s data reveals the position of the 108 active ISPs in terms of customer number and points of presence in the country, and here are the top 10 ISPs in Nigeria based on their number of active subscribers as of Q1 2023:

10. Dotmac Technologies Ltd

Number of customers: 3,228

Points of presence: 12.

8. Cobranet Limited

7. Radical Technology Network Ltd

In 2014, the company deployed its 4G LTE network infrastructure with a promise to deliver 10x more speed, mobility, and security to its customers.

4. VDT Communications

VDT is a Broadband communication service provider to corporate organisations with leased Fiber Optic trunks to the thirty-six (36) states in Nigeria and the FCT, where they have 59 Point-Of-Presence (POP) and a complement of technical support staffers.

Number of customers: 7,268

Points of presence: 59.

3. ipNX

ipNX occupies the third position in terms of customer numbers among licenced ISPs in Nigeria. The company is one of the country’s fastest-growing ISPs, serving a multitude of needs across enterprises, small businesses, and residents with innovative, world-class services. ipNX is a pioneer and a leading Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) operator in Nigeria.

Number of customers: 13,953

Points of presence: 55.

2. Tizeti

Tizeti provides high-speed broadband internet to Residences, businesses, Events, and Conferences and deploys public Wi-fi Hotspots at locations across Africa.

The company is leveraging the large wireless capacity available with Wi-fi and plummeting the cost of solar panels to create a low CAPEX/OPEX network of owned & operated towers to offer disruptive, customer-friendly pricing for unlimited internet service right across Africa.

According to NCC’s database, the company is the second-largest ISP in Nigeria in terms of subscriber number as of Q1 2023.

Number of customers: 21,318

Points of presence: 135.

1. Spectranet

With a wide margin ahead of others in terms of active subscribers, Spectranet remained the number one ISP in Nigeria with the largest customer base. Licenced in 2009 to promote Internet services across Nigeria, Spectranet was among the first Internet Service Providers to launch 4G LTE Internet service in Nigeria and aims to be a leader in the Internet Services space.

The latest data on the NCC’s website shows that this company had the largest number of connected and active customers out of all the ISPs licensed by the NCC.

Number of customers: 105,962

Points of presence: 647.

Several factors including the state of operation, and the cost of service, influence the number of customers the ISPs acquire. The competition with the mobile network operators, especially with the launch of 5G service by MTN and Airtel, means that the core ISPs will continue to play second fiddle to the MNOs when it comes to the number of customers.
