Nigeria has for a while may have been slow to join the internet age but has surprisingly emerged the country with the highest internet usage in Africa and with no small thanks to the increasing rate of telecommunication which also opened a huge window to broadband internet connectivity.
Nigeria has 4 major Telecommunication providers which are MTN, Glo, Zain and Etisalat in order of their market reach. All these networks provide 3G broadband internet services and apart from these, there are a couple of say 50 more ISPs like Starcomms, Multilinks, Visafone and others all of which are helping spread the use of internet service in a nation which has the highest population in Africa.
The highest spots where internet usage is common is in cities like Lagos state, Abuja, Ibadan, Benin, Onitsha and so on.
