T2 Mobile has added internet users for a third consecutive month, marking its first full quarter of sustained growth after years of decline, according to the latest data from the Nigerian Communications Commission.
The operator, formerly known as 9mobile, added 9,202 internet subscribers in December 2025, bringing its total to 780,237. While the increase remains modest, it signals a gradual stabilisation in a market dominated by larger rivals.
The rebound follows T2 Mobile’s rebrand in August 2025 and a national roaming agreement with MTN Nigeria. The partnership allows T2 customers to access MTN’s wider 2G, 3G, and 4G network in areas where T2 coverage is limited, improving service quality without requiring SIM swaps or number changes.
However, the transition was not seamless. In August, shortly after the rebrand, T2’s internet subscriber base fell below one million for the first time, dropping to 744,044. Momentum began to return in October, when the operator added 10,918 users. Growth strengthened in November with a further 16,073 additions, lifting subscriptions to 771,035 before December’s gains.
NCC’s Q4 2025 Industry Performance Report points to technical improvements behind the recovery. T2 ranked first in rural download speeds at about 24.9 Mbps and placed second nationally for overall user experience, supported by new spectrum, roaming access, and network upgrades.
Despite these gains, challenges remain. T2 held about 1.8 percent market share with 3.22 million total subscribers and recorded the highest net port out losses in 2025, with around 28,000 customers leaving the network.
Still, the recent trend suggests the operator is beginning to steady its position as it works to retain users in Nigeria’s increasingly concentrated telecom sector.
