NCC Rates Glo Best Network in Internet Subscription

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has again rated the next generation network, Globacom, as the leader in new internet subscriber acquisition in the telecommunications industry.

According to 2015 third quarter statistics featured by the NCC on its website, Globacom gained the highest number of internet users in September of 2015 with over a million new internet users on its network.

The industry regulator said that Globacom had 21,896,229 internet users on its network as at the end of September, up from 20,765,379 data users in August. The figure showed an addition of 1,130,850 new internet subscribers within the period.

Globacom’s figure was much more than the total number of new internet users who joined the three other major telecom operators, MTN, Airtel and Etisalat. The three recorded a combined total of 716,450  new internet subscribers in September.

The closest to Globacom was MTN which recorded an additional 423,448 new internet users on its network. Airtel placed third with 235,941 new subscribers, while Etisalat recorded the least number of new internet users in the industry with additional 57,061 new data subscribers joining the network in September.
