Telecom giant MTN has announced an increase in the price of data bundles for its Fibre broadband and TurboNet users effective from Tuesday, January 4, 2022.
“Y’ello Valued Customer, thank you for the opportunity to serve you. Kindly note, Fibre broadband and TurboNet bundle prices will be increased from 4th January 2022 with 90 days validity. You will enjoy a 50% bonus on every purchase you make within the first three months after the increment. Thank you for your continuous support as we strive to serve you better. #WeDey4U,” MTN’s message of notice to customers read.
The new rates by MTN have been met with negative reactions by Ghanaians, especially on social media.
With the new development, customers are likely to pay the following for example;
Before January 4, 2022
GHC 300 = 393.58GB (Mtn Fibre broadband)
GHC 300 = 332.57GB (MTN TurboNet)
The same amount will now get you
GHC 300 = 231.08GB (MTN Fibre Broadband)
GHC 300 = 190.23GB (TurboNet)
Below are some of the negative reactions to MTN’s TurboNet and Fibre Broadband data bundle price increase. In summary majority of Ghanaians who use MTN’s service think the about 75% increment is ridiculous and absurd.
“Your current price increase for turbonet and fibre broadband is ridiculous. Please amend it. 75% increase is absurd, insane and doesnt take the consumer’s interest into consideration,” a Twitter user by name @blacknap said.
A customer service rep @MTNGhana just told me the turbonet and FBB data increases were done to close the gap in the FBB market. Does this mean @NCAGhana directed MTN to increase data prices when the other alternative was possible?

I'm open to suggestions please. I wanna get off this Turbonet.
The package I used to buy was 300 cedis which gave 332G. Now, for the same amount you get 190G.
Worst of all, I understand it's not unlimited again. 90 day limit.
Please is there any great substitute?

So @MTNGhana really chose this difficult January to increase data prices on turbonet & Fibre. Currently 300ghc gives you 190gb but previously you get 332gb.
Now 2022 really started on steroids and the government is planning on bringing E-Levy too. pic.twitter.com/5mrJxZpi7O
