MTN Ghana has implemented a major downward revision of its fibre broadband tariffs, cutting the cost of high-speed internet packages in a move expected to significantly reduce connectivity expenses for households, remote workers, and businesses that rely heavily on stable internet services.
Effective under the new pricing structure, a month of unlimited 100 Mbps fibre broadband, previously priced at GHS 987, now costs GHS 299. The revised package also introduces higher-speed tiers, with a 300 Mbps unlimited plan now available at GHS 444, while a 500 Mbps unlimited package is priced at GHS 999.
The adjustment has been welcomed by the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, who described the development as a response to sustained engagement on affordability and quality of service. He stated that “effective today, fibre broadband prices have crashed,” adding that the Ministry’s interventions are aimed at ensuring “more affordable, stable and reliable fibre broadband” for consumers.
Sam George also expressed appreciation to MTN Ghana, noting that the company has “heeded our call” to improve service value for customers. He further indicated that the government will continue engagements with industry players, stating that the Ministry will “continue to push for better service packages for the Ghanaian people.”
The sharp reduction in pricing is expected to have wider economic implications beyond consumer savings. For remote workers, freelancers, and digital entrepreneurs, the new tariffs are likely to ease one of the most persistent operational costs, reliable high-speed internet access, particularly for those dependent on video conferencing, cloud-based platforms, and large file transfers.
Media organisations and other data-intensive businesses are also expected to benefit, as the reduced cost of sustained high-bandwidth connectivity may lower production and distribution expenses linked to digital content, streaming, and real-time reporting workflows.
At the household level, the revised pricing structure is expected to expand access to fibre broadband services to a broader segment of the population, including users who were previously excluded due to cost barriers. This could further support digital inclusion, online learning, and increased adoption of data-heavy digital services.
The development also sets a new reference point in Ghana’s fixed broadband market, with expectations that increased competition among internet service providers could further influence pricing and service quality in the coming months.
