In a series of communications to custmers, MTN said the challenge has been resolved.

“We are glad to report that we have resolved all issues with our internet service”, the statement read.

MTN subscribers in Ghana and other Africa countries form Thursday, January 16, 2020, experienced fluctuations in their internet connections and network generally.

The telco responded and explained to customers what the problem was. MTN Ghana blamed the disruptions on an “undersea fiber cable cut”.

In a circular sent to shareholders and other stakeholders on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), the company said the hitches were caused by “double undersea fibre optic cable cut in Europe.”
