Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, has become Nigeria’s second-largest internet service provider (ISP), overtaking FiberOne Broadband Limited in Q4 2024, according to data from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). Despite its premium pricing, Starlink’s user base more than doubled within a year, surging from 23,897 subscribers in 2023 to 65,564 by the end of 2024. This rapid growth reflects the increasing demand for its high-speed connectivity, which delivers speeds of up to 250 Mbps—far exceeding what most local ISPs offer.
