The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, has announced significant reductions in MTN Ghana’s fibre broadband prices following engagements between the government and the telecommunications company.
The minister said the move is aimed at making internet services more affordable and accessible to Ghanaians amid growing demand for reliable broadband connectivity.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Mr. George revealed that customers will now pay substantially less for MTN’s unlimited fibre broadband packages.
According to the revised pricing structure, customers who previously paid GH¢987 for a one-month unlimited 100 Mbps package will now pay GH¢299.
“Effective today, fibre broadband prices have crashed,” the minister stated.
Under the new packages, customers can also subscribe to a 300 Mbps unlimited broadband package for GH¢444 per month, while a 500 Mbps unlimited package will cost GH¢999.
Mr George said the reductions followed sustained engagements between the government and MTN Ghana in response to public concerns about the high cost of internet services.
“You demanded. We engaged. MTN Ghana has responded,” he wrote.
The minister noted that consumers have consistently called for more affordable, stable and reliable broadband services, prompting discussions with service providers.
Mr George expressed appreciation to MTN Ghana’s management and staff for responding positively to the government’s appeal.
“I want to express my gratitude to the management and staff of MTN who have heeded our call for more affordable, stable and reliable fibre broadband,” he said.
He added that the ministry remains committed to working with telecommunications companies to improve service quality and affordability across the country.
“From the Ministry, we will continue to push for better service packages for the Ghanaian people,” he stated.
The price reductions are expected to benefit households, businesses, remote workers, students and content creators who depend on high-speed internet for daily activities.
The development comes at a time when demand for broadband connectivity continues to grow, driven by increased digital adoption, remote work and online learning.
Although MTN Ghana has yet to issue a detailed statement outlining the revised packages, the announcement represents one of the most significant broadband price reductions in Ghana’s telecommunications sector in recent years.
Industry observers say the move could increase broadband adoption and place pressure on competing service providers to review their own pricing structures.
