MTN Ghana’s active data subscribers rose by 11.4% to 18.9 million in the latest quarter, underscoring the company’s continued dominance in the country’s digital communications space amid rising demand for internet services.
The growth reflects the sustained shift toward mobile connectivity, online payments, and digital entertainment, which continue to define Ghana’s evolving consumer habits. The increase translates into roughly two million new data users added over the period, positioning MTN well ahead of its competitors in market reach and user engagement.
Data remains one of MTN’s strongest revenue drivers, benefiting from expanding 4G coverage and increased smartphone adoption. The company has invested heavily in network upgrades and fibre connectivity to enhance service reliability and handle surging traffic volumes.
However, the gains come as many users continue to raise concerns about intermittent internet disruptions, slow speeds, and network congestion, particularly in fast-growing urban centres. Over the past months, several customers and businesses have reported service interruptions that have affected productivity and streaming access, issues MTN has attributed to maintenance work and high usage spikes.
Despite these challenges, the telecom giant maintains that it is prioritizing network modernization and capacity expansion, especially in regional towns and underserved communities.
Its ongoing rollout of 4G and 4G+ sites, coupled with digital partnerships across fintech and entertainment, aims to consolidate user loyalty and support Ghana’s broader digital transformation agenda.
