MTN TurboNet is something to be excited about if you are like me who depends on the internet for almost everything from fun to work.
Ghana’s leading telecom giant, MTN, has introduced a new device to allow its customers to get the best of its 4G internet services with interesting data bundle options that are already giving me goosebumps.
What is MTN TurboNet?
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 MTN 4G locations.
The external antenna that comes with the TurboNet is to enhance the internet connection so you and I can enjoy instant and reliable high-speed internet at all times within MTN’s 4G coverage.
This router provides instant high-speed internet for up to 32 users at the same time, however, one has to be within MTN’s 4G coverage to enjoy this service. Sorry, if this hurt your feeling if you are not within the 4G coverage area.
Who can use MTN TurboNet?
TurboNet is suitable for home or office use.
Where can I buy a TurboNet device?
To Purchase a TurboNet device, please visit main MTN regional offices and selected branches in Greater Accra Region, Ashanti Region and Western region or call 100 for guidance.
Update: MTN Ghana is no longer selling TurboNet due to an overload on the spectrum. This is to allow the already existing customers using Turbonet to enjoy the service.
The only way to get a Turbonet now in Ghana is to buy from an existing owner at a price which can be twice if not triple how much MTN was selling it or your company applying for it.
