internet subscribers in the month of June.

Airtel came second with 17,325,423 subscribers in June, thus

The duo of Etisalat and MTN, however, recorded losses. Etisalat

MTN Nigeria moved from 33,108,786 internet subscribers in May to
32,974,177 in June, thus losing a total of 134,609 internet subscribers.
The introduction of more customer-friendly products and services
by Globacom and its significantly enhanced capacity could be responsible for
the continuous increase in the number of new internet subscribers on the

which gives Glo subscribers a massive 3GB of data on weekends at just
N500, the Jollific8, widely acclaimed to be the best value for
