MTN Ghana was named Fastest Mobile Network in Ghana and Best Fixed Network in Ghana and also took home the title of Best Fixed Network in Western Africa. The awards are based on independent data drawn from millions of real consumer speed tests conducted through Ookla's Speedtest platform, the world's most widely used benchmark for real-world internet performance.

MTN Ghana recorded a Speedtest Connectivity Score of 67.16, outperforming multiple operators across West Africa, including those in Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria. This result places MTN Ghana among a select group of network operators worldwide to meet Ookla's rigorous performance benchmarks.

Commenting on the awards, the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, said, ‘’These recognitions from Ookla reflect the significant investments we continue to make in our network to deliver faster, more reliable connectivity for our customers. At MTN Ghana, we believe that a strong, dependable network is fundamental to expanding digital access, driving economic growth and supporting Africa's progress. I am proud of our teams, whose dedication and expertise continue to raise the bar for network excellence in Ghana and across the region.’’

‘’We are now ramping up our network sites deployments. And why are we doing that? Because it gives a better quality of service to our customers.’’ Stephen added.

For his part, Reuben Opata, Chief Technology Officer at MTN Ghana, congratulated the MTN team, emphasizing that the company remains focused on delivering a better network experience to customers. "We remain committed to building a network that delivers consistent, high-quality experiences for our customers and to continuously improve connectivity across the country."

The Speedtest Awards are among the telecommunications industry's most credible performance honours, evaluating operators on speed, coverage, consistency and overall user experience, assessed entirely through real customer testing.

These accolades reflect deliberate network investment and modernisation carried out nationwide by MTN Ghana, including capacity upgrades across radio, transport infrastructure and engineering improvements.

MTN Ghana's investment drive is set to accelerate further. During his visit to Ghana, MTN Group Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Mupita, announced plans to invest US$1.1 billion in the country over the next three years, targeting stronger infrastructure and improved service delivery across the network.

MTN Ghana remains focused on delivering reliable connectivity that supports Ghana's economic growth and Africa's digital future.
