With the entry of new players, the competition in the Internet service provisioning market is getting tougher. Just as competition paved the way for per-second billing in the mobile segment, unlimited Internet service, previously impossible, is now becoming the norm and the basis of competition for service providers. Service Provider (ISP) in Nigeria.

While the majority of Internet subscriptions in Nigeria are on mobile networks, ISPs, by virtue of their business model, rely primarily on business subscriptions, and their services are designed to meet corporate Internet needs.

However, it should be noted that while some of the ISPs claim to offer unlimited data plans, not all of them are truly unlimited as some ISPs attach Fair Usage Policy (FUP) to their plans. The FUP means that there is a certain threshold of your usage within the unlimited period where the speed you get gets lower, but you will still have internet access. For example, if your one month unlimited subscription has a FUP of 40 GB, it means that you will enjoy the best speed until you use up 40 GB, after which the speed you get is reduced.
