Double fibre cut disrupts Telecel services, 72,754 subscribers affected
Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, says a double fibre cut along the Accra–Winneba and Winneba–Cape Coast routes has disrupted Telecel Ghana services across a large section of the Central Region.
A double fibre cut impacting Telecel Ghana services has left approximately 72,754 subscribers in the Central Region without connectivity, according to Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George. The incident occurred along the Accra–Winneba and Winneba–Cape Coast routes and has disrupted connectivity across 181 RAN sites in several communities.
Affected areas include parts of Winneba, Agona Swedru, and other coastal and transit corridors such as Apam, Mumford, Otuam, Gomoa Fetteh, and Aplaku Bortianor. The cuts were reportedly caused by ongoing work by a road contractor, while Telecel engineers are working on restoring services and another team is attempting to halt the excavation to prevent further damage to the fibre infrastructure.
The National Communications Authority (NCA) is monitoring the situation as restoration efforts continue, with an apology issued for the inconvenience caused.
