Connection counts and points of presence describe different things
The regulator lists the operator’s active subscriptions and reported points of presence in separate columns. A point of presence records part of a network footprint. It does not by itself tell a prospective customer whether service is available at a particular address. Source 1
The comparison uses the regulator’s ISP reporting scope
The national mobile-network statistics are published separately from this table. The operator mix is useful for comparing the listed providers and access types. A broader view of how Nigerians get online also needs mobile subscriptions and data on actual use. Source 1
