The telecommunications giant revealed that it has secured a new internet capacity and is actively augmenting its capabilities through collaborations with local and international partners, including other subsidiaries within the Telecel network.

Telecel Ghana reassured its subscribers that these initiatives are already yielding positive results, with improvements gradually being witnessed in its service delivery across Ghana.

Dispelling speculations circulating on social media, Telecel Ghana clarified that the interruption in its internet services was not due to outstanding debts. Instead, the company cited specific technical challenges that led to the disruption.

“On the 12th of March 2024, Telecel Ghana lost internet capacity provided by WACS subsea cable, and immediately switched to ACE to maintain service,” Telecel Ghana said in a statement, adding: “On 14th March 2024, Telecel Ghana lost internet connectivity from its remaining providers SAT3 and ACE due to a cut in their undersea cables. This resulted in the disruption of data services on Mobile and Fixed networks.”

In addition to these efforts, Telecel Ghana emphasized the implementation of measures aimed at restoring internet connectivity for its subscribers. The company highlighted the deployment of local caching solutions, enabling access to popular content services such as YouTube, Facebook, and Netflix despite the ongoing challenges.

Telecel Ghana's commitment to addressing the internet outage and enhancing service resilience underscores its dedication to ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for its customers.
