What Is Telecel Broadband?
Let’s start simple: Telecel Broadband is like giving your house or office a super-fast internet pipe. Instead of relying on mobile data like your phone does, it uses fibre-optic cables—which are like glass highways for data that travel much faster than regular wires.
That means smoother streaming, quicker downloads, better video calls, and fewer “ugh, this is taking forever” moments.
It can reach speeds up to 300 Mbps. Just to compare, MTN’s broadband maxes out at about 60 Mbps. That’s like comparing a motorbike to a sports car.
Real-Life Speed Example
At one location in East Legon, a speed test on Wi-Fi showed:
- Download: 25.72 Mbps
- Upload: 17.51 Mbps
- Ping: 6 ms (good for gaming or Zoom calls)
That’s good, especially over Wi-Fi. If you plug your laptop in with a cable, it can go even faster.
Is Telecel Broadband Available in My Area?
Good question! Before you get excited about the plans, you need to check if Telecel covers your location.
Here’s How:
- Go to the Telecel Broadband page
- Turn on your phone or computer’s location
- Click “Check Availability”
If that doesn’t work:
- Click “Click here to find your location” and enter it manually.
- If it says “Available,” you’re good to go.
- Hit Proceed, then choose the type of broadband you want:
- Residential: for homes
- One Business: for small/medium offices
- FTTB (Fibre To The Building): for large businesses

Telecel Broadband Packages
Let’s break them into groups so it’s easier to understand.
1. Flexi Offers
Think of this like pay-as-you-go broadband.
| Type | Minimum Price (GHS) | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Expiry | 100 | Doesn’t expire |
| 30-Day Offer | 100 | 30 days |
You choose how much you want to spend. Great if you’re on a budget or don’t use the internet often.
2. One Family Packages
This is for homes where multiple people use the internet. It supports up to 4 mobile devices and includes bonus voice and SMS too.
