Nigeria’s ISP Market Shrinks as Spectranet, Starlink, FibreOne Capture 65% of Customers
- 224 ISPs are registered with the NCC, but only 133 were active in Q2 2025.
- Spectranet, Starlink, and FibreOne serve 203,160 customers, equating to 65% of all ISP-connected users.
- Spectranet remains the largest ISP but has seen a decline in customers from Q1 to Q2 2025.
The rapid contraction of Nigeria's ISP market poses significant risks to the country's broadband goals. Without government intervention and support for smaller ISPs, the market may become overly reliant on mobile operators, which could lead to a lack of diversity in internet service provision and hinder overall connectivity efforts.
