The quest to provide faster and cheaper internet services to users, birthed the idea of MTNTurbonet by the telecommunication giant, MTN. This is to serve as an alternative to the already existing fibre broadband.

The MTNTurbonet devices have been in the system well over six months preceding its official launch in mid-2019.

MTN TurboNet is a plug-and-play super high-speed 4G Internet router. It comes with a high-powered external antenna and data SIM that enables it to deliver fast Internet in 4G locations. This simply means that to enjoy the service, you must be within MTN’s 4G coverage area. 

TurboNet provides instant high-speed Internet for up to 32 users simultaneously. 

Device features:

• Connect up to 32 users at a time
• Plug & Play 4G router
• 1 x Landline phone port
• AC powered
• Two connectors for an external router
• 4 x LAN ports (One for LAN/WAN)

It is important to point out that the device is not readily available to individuals but rather to registered businesses. This could mean that MTN wants to now control the number of users on its spectrum.

Unlike the online application where you submit a form together with the required documents uploaded, a walk-in process will only have you submit the forms physically to your MTN agent and have the device delivered to you instantly once all requirements are met.

We advise that a more expedient way to buy the device will be to walk into any of their offices. This is because even after the online application you are mandated to walk in physically to register with a Ghana card and submit other supporting documents upon request.
