Sounds fair enough...

NCC stop giving such useless figures and work on the data cost!
The data cost will crash when the operators rely less on diesel generators, and more on the public power supply.
Around 40% of the telcos expenses are on powering their generators.

81 million people ripped off. .....too expensive Internet access and nothing fantastic about the quality of service.

NCC should be more concerned about the quality of the service and if Nigerians are getting their money's worth.

Going by our population and the number of Nigerians on Facebook and twitter I think the statistic is even wrong. We ought to have reached 100M

Out of the 81m subscribers am sure the south have at least 70% and the north 30%. When it's time to collect PVC's they tell us they are highly populated than us.

I just thank God for the likes of GEJ if not Nigeria would have being on fire by now.

It is true.

MTN simple server made it possible for them to rank 1st.
Glo BB subscription on android made it possible them to come second.
Airtel cheap data for android gained them the third position.
Now Etisalat, I don't know their problem. Fast network but damn expensive.

Ur headline is confusing. Its "users" not "usage"
temitayoolu:
The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, says the number of internet users on the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) networks has increased from 76,322, 802 in 2014 to 81,892,840 in January 2015.

This is contained in the NCC Monthly Internet Subscriber Data, obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Lagos.

According to the data, there is an increase of 5,570,038 internet users on the networks in January.

It showed that from the 81,892,840 internet users recorded in January, MTN Nigeria led the table with 39,173,123 customers browsing the internet on its network.

It stated that MTN had an increase of 556,386 internet subscribers in January, after it recorded 38,616,737 users in the month of December 2014.

According to the data, Globacom is second on the internet usage table, recording 17,671,405 subscribers surfing the net with its network in January.

The data revealed that Globacom gained a total of 532,085 additional internet users on its network, up from 17,139,320 users in December 2014.

Airtel Nigeria, it said was third on the roll with 14,969,924 internet users in January, as against 14,371,987 customers recorded in December.

The data showed that internet users on the Airtel Nigeria network also increased by 597,937 in January.

It disclosed that Etisalat was last on the table with 10,078,388 of its customers browsing the internet in January, compared to the 6,194,758 users in December, an increase of 3,883,630 users.

The NCC data also revealed that the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operators (Multi-Links and Visafone) had a joint total of 153,798 internet users on their networks in January.

It showed, however, that the only surviving two CDMA networks in the country listed a loss of 526 internet subscribers in the month under review from the 154,324 users they recorded in December.

The data stated that Visafone recorded a decrease of 311 customers surfing the internet in January, reducing the number to 153,059 compared to the 153,370 users in the month of December.

It said that Multi-Links had 739 internet users in January, hence losing 215 customers from the December record of 954 users.

The data further showed that in spite of the decrease on the part of the CDMA networks, Nigerians were gradually embracing data as the next revolution in the Information and Communications Technology sector.

If all Phones were to be costly as the iPhone I'm sure the number won't be that good.Thanks to Android and the China people for making cheaper versions of it.NCC now that you have done your yeye analysis please tell this guys to reduce their data price so the number can go up more.Etisalat this is a lesson for you,you cancelled PayG now see your life.Please reconsider.God bless my Christian folks.

The only thing I want to hear is we can pay N1,500 and have unlimited data in a month.

They should work on that. If countries like Gabon, Ukraine can do it, Nigeria can do better.

I know they will go there. Free food. Entitlement ruinous mentality. All for nothing. There was a time calls were subsidized and dirt cheap under NITEL. When an incoming international call will be rushed and you will be wondering why these white folks are always in a hurry while at our call centres our folks will spend ages in idle talk and then drop one rubbish 100 naira because aunty or uncle is in charge. What was the profit to Nigerians then.

People will often fail to correlate cost to productivity. That the cheaper a thing is, the less productive it becomes.

Etisalat got 3M subscribers in a space of 2months, did I read that wrong?

We should watch out for Etisalat. I see them surpassing Airtel and competing with Glo for the second spot by July.
