In March 2017, the total number of GSM subscribers was 151,999,197, which was 2,125,405 less than in December 2016, equivalent to a decrease of 1.38%. This was the first quarterly decline since the previous March.

According to the Nigerian Telecommunication Sector Report (Q1 2017), released by the National Bureau of Statistics yesterday, Airtel was the only GSM provider to record an increase in the number of subscribers relative to the previous quarter, of 1.58%, which means this provider recorded the highest growth rate for the second consecutive quarter.

Their number increased by 540,196 to reach 34,656,605 between December 2016 and March 2017. This was nevertheless lower than the quarterly growth rate of 4.09% recorded in December 2016. Although the other three providers recorded decreases in their numbers over this period, the decrease recorded by Globacom was slight.

With 37,328,827 subscribers, Globacom had 29,016 fewer subscribers in March 2017 than in December 2016, a decrease of only 0.08%. In percentage terms, Etisalat recorded the largest decline, for the third consecutive month, of 5.71% compared to 2.34% for MTN. However, given that MTN has significantly more subscribers, with 60,391,959 in March 2017 compared to 19,621,806 for Etisalat, their monthly decrease was larger in absolute terms. MTN lost 1,448,502 subscribers relative to December 2016, compared to a loss of 1,188,083 for Etisalat.

These trends did not change the overall ranking of GSM providers in terms of numbers of subscribers. MTN remained the largest provider, and accounted for 39.73% in March 2017, a slightly lower share than the share of 40.12% at the end of the previous quarter. Airtel and Globacom each increased their share slightly over the same period, from 22.14% to 22.8%, and from 24.24% to 24.56% respectively.

Etisalat is the fastest network when it come for browsing.

Is there why I could not browse on Monday?

Glo should keep fooling themselves there etisalat and Airtel be chasing them like lalasticlala and snake threads.

Etisalat should better reduce the cost of their plans

I don't pity that stingy Etisalat.

Good. I have been a lover of Etisalat. But the way they zap my data these days, I am seriously considering moving to another provider. I have about 5 etisalat subscribers who I will move along to another network.

Very terrible.

So where will you place Glo

Ikr
That's why they have been having issues?
Too much costumers.

Wiseandtrue:
So where will you place Glo

No 1 network with poor reception

To me Glo is the network for the masses but recently

Glo thinks is by only doing cheap data. Mtcheww

Why won't they?


I was rOoting for glo, hoping they would get better, the network still sucks as hell, yet they slapped us with data decreament upon nonsense network.


Airtel, they will give you data bonus and use conny conny backhand take their data back with double charging.

Etisalat? That one na network.

I really hate mtn, but I have been stable on the network for more than 6 months now after leaving glo for poor services, they seem to be the only serious network in the country right now. Plus I'm still enjoying their double data.

Na GLO you wan give before, abi na Selfish Etisalat?
MTN get better business strategy and them sabi do business.
Many people hate MTN, but like oxygen, majority cannot do without it.
MTN all the way.

Glo will continue to lag way behind mtn UNTIL they do something about their Network Coverage. They can mess u up anytime, even in Central Abuja.

I wonder how they are managing 4G.

ish

Glo is useless. For about 4 days now i have not been able to use the internet. I had to subscribe to airtel's. I cant wait to port. Despite how cheap their data is, people still run from them. Mind you, i am talking about Abuja
