Starlink Surpases Fiberone to Become Nigeria’s Second Largest Internet Service Provider

Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, has swiftly climbed the ranks to become Nigeria’s second-largest internet service provider, surpassing FiberOne Broadband Limited. Within a year, its subscriber base skyrocketed from 23,897 to 65,564, driven by the demand for high-speed internet with speeds of up to 250 Mbps.

Despite announcing a price increase from ₦38,000 to ₦75,000 in December 2024, the tariff adjustment has been postponed due to growing adoption. As traditional ISPs grapple with infrastructure limitations, Starlink’s satellite-based connectivity is redefining Nigeria’s broadband landscape.

The shift towards satellite internet signals a transformative moment in Nigeria’s digital space.
