MTN Nigeria has established itself as the leading provider in Nigeria's fibre broadband market, accounting for 55.2% of all Fibre to the X (FTTX) subscriptions as of the second quarter of 2026, according to data from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). MTN reported 176,468 FTTX subscriptions, while its closest competitor, FiberOne Broadband, had 56,486 subscriptions, representing approximately 17.7% of the market.
