The numbers of internet users has increased 1.79 lakh to 5.41 crore in December 2015 from 5.39 crore in November.
The rise is attributed to the withdrawal of Facebook suspension.
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) disclosed the information yesterday.
But the World Bank ran counter to the statistics of the regulatory body.
The global money lender put the number of internet users in the country at 1.20 crore only.
The government, however, dismissed the report titled World Development Report 2016: Digital Dividends released last week.
On November 18, BTRC blocked Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, mypeople, Line and Tango across the country on security grounds.
After suspension of popular social media site Facebook, the number of internet users dropped 7.17 lakh to 5.39 crore in November from 5.46 crore in October last year.
On the other hand, mobile subscribers increased 5.57 lakh to 13.37 crore in December from 13.31 crore in November last year.
According to the BTRC statistics, the total number of mobile internet users dropped 8.63 lakh in November from 5.23 crore in October.
