Ghanaian Telcos fully implement increased data bundles from July 1 as promised
Customers will now receive between 10% and 15% more data at no additional cost, under a policy that took effect on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.
Telecommunication companies in Ghana have introduced increased data allocations following a government policy.
The initiative, effective from 1 July 2025, offers an additional 10%-15% data at no extra cost to consumers.
The policy aims to tackle public concerns over high data prices and enhance digital inclusion.
Communications Ministry responds to cost concerns
The initiative, championed by the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation, comes in response to growing public dissatisfaction with high data prices and poor value for money. The Ministry said the adjustment is part of broader efforts to expand digital inclusion and reduce financial strain on consumers.
New data volumes across networks
According to the implementation details:
MTN has increased data volumes by 15% across all packages.
Telecel and AT have each implemented a 10% increase in their bundle allocations.
High-value data plans have seen the most noticeable enhancements:
AT's GHC400 bundle now offers 236GB, up from 195GB.
Telecel's GHC400 package has surged to 250GB, up from 90GB.
MTN has reintroduced its GHC399 plan, now delivering 214GB, up from 92.88GB under the former GHC350 plan.
Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Sam George, has tasked the National Communications Authority (NCA) with ensuring full compliance by all telecom providers. He cautioned that telcos failing to comply would face regulatory sanctions.
'This is about fairness and inclusion. Every Ghanaian deserves affordable access to digital services,' Minister George stated.

Apple's Surprise Free Offer To iPhone 13 Users Is Now Live For iPhones
Updated July 26 with more details of T-Satellite. When Apple made the surprise announcement that its iPhone 13 series was suddenly compatible with carrier-supported satellite connectivity, it was ushering in a new way to stay connected. The first network to support this, T-Mobile, has just gone live with its new T-Satellite service for iPhones and other handsets. And even a temporary outage hasn't stopped the new service from arriving. More on that below. Apple iPhone 13 Pro T-Satellite works by connecting your phone to Starlink satellites (though, please note, it doesn't install Starlink on your phone as rumor-mongers previously claimed). T-Mobile's CEO Mike Sievert said in a post on X, 'Today marks a huge step in @TMobile's mission to end dead zones. T-Satellite is officially out of beta and available to anyone who wants it — including Verizon and AT&T customers,' he exclaimed. That's an important point: subscribers on other networks can sign up to T-Satellite by paying a monthly fee. Note that Verizon and AT&T are expected to offer their own versions of this service, but for now, T-Mobile has first-mover advantage. 'With 650+ satellites in orbit, the largest satellite-to-mobile constellation on the planet aims to connect you almost anywhere you can see the sky. It's already helping save lives during disasters and providing an extra level of safety for those who love to explore the great outdoors,' Sievert goes on. The service is available for compatible handsets, and that includes most current Android phones as well as all iPhones from iPhone 13 onwards. It went live on Wednesday, July 23, right on schedule — though had already been offered to customers impacted by the recent floods in Texas — and the new service has been called a game-changer because, unlike rival satellite options, including Apple's own Globalstar service, it doesn't require users to point their phone at the satellite. It works just like regular cell connections do, even in your pocket. The next day, Thursday, July 24, Starlink experienced an outage for more than two hours, with full service more or less restored by 5 p.m. Pacific the same day. "The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," Starlink's VP of engineering Michael Nicolls said on X. Not much more is known now, though it's believed it affected tens of thousands of people, some of whom could have been T-Satellite users. By Friday, July 26, SpaceX, which runs Starlink, was searching for the root cause of the issue. Users in the U.S. and Europe were affected and Downdetector, the crowd-sourced outage tracker claims that as many as 61,000 people reported issues. It even affected Ukraine, where combat operations saw the service go down. The cause, it was speculated, could have been a botched software update, a cyberattack or some other kind of glitch. If T-Mobile is your carrier and you have the Experience Beyond service, you get this new capability included. Others, including AT&T and Verizon customers, can access the service for $10 per month. The T-Mobile satellite service is limited to texting with iMessage and SMS, and data is not supported, though more capabilities may follow. The T-Satellite service means that if you are outside the regular cellular network, your phone is able to remain connected via satellite, for text messages on compatible iPhones and Android handsets. More services will be added in due course but already other features are available to Android users, including multimedia messaging, picture messaging, and short audio clips. For now, this is the beginning of a new way to stay in touch wherever you are, even if your phone is in your pocket.

New Speed Test Results Reveal the Fastest Internet Service Provider in the US
There's been a lot of talk about internet speed lately. From various company taglines -- "Don't take slow for an answer" -- to the latest news about Japan's internet data transmission record, it's all about the speed. This week, Ookla released its Speedtest Connectivity Report for the first six months of 2025, and AT&T Fiber topped the list as the country's fastest fixed internet service provider. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) What does that mean? Does it tell us that AT&T offers the fastest internet plan available to customers nationwide? No. This report doesn't look at an ISP's top speed (the fastest plan the company offers), but instead considers the average internet speed that subscribers experience across all levels of the provider's plans. Many variables exist (including the internet connection type), so when you sign up for internet service, you shouldn't assume AT&T will always be your fastest option. That said, Ookla's report shows AT&T Fiber at the top of its charts, registering a median download speed of just over 363 megabits per second in tests collected by Ookla from January through June 2025. It's the third Ookla speedtest report in a row (going back to the first half of 2024) in which AT&T Fiber has claimed the pole position. Overall, AT&T Fiber led Ookla's report with a 78.33 Speed Score, a unique metric the company uses to consider a provider's download and upload speeds and latency. Frontier Fiber, which is in the process of being purchased by Verizon, came close to nudging AT&T out of first place, recording a median download speed of 359Mbps and notching a Speed Score of 78.30. Third place was held by Verizon Fios, the company's own fiber internet service, while the cable internet providers Cox, Xfinity and Spectrum rounded out the rest of Ookla's list. Ookla Ookla is an internet speed-test company that collects data via its tool, which gathers insights from millions of daily customer uses. CNET frequently uses those findings to help inform our internet service provider reviews, as well as our city and state geo pages. Locating local internet providers Why do we care about speed tests? In CNET's ISP reviews, we stress that speed test data can be a helpful diagnostic tool -- a snapshot of your internet connection performance at any given moment. For example, it can help you pinpoint when and where your connection may be laggy. But it's not an exact science. Many things can affect a speed test, including whether or not you're using Wi-Fi or a hardwired Ethernet connection, the time of day you're running the test and so on. To be included in Ookla's Speedtest Connectivity Report, an ISP must appear in 3% or more of the data collected during the six-month window. That means some fiber-optic internet providers across the country might perform especially well, but if they're more regional and unable to hit that 3% minimum share of the national market, they won't appear in the top. Google Fiber is a good example. It was the fastest provider in nine of the country's top 100 cities (second only to AT&T Fiber), but it didn't reach enough households to meet Ookla's mark for national inclusion. Yes, nabbing the top spot is certainly something a company like AT&T can brag about. Last year, after the first of its three wins in a row, CEO John Stankey said in a press release, "The Ookla results confirm what we already knew in the market: the fiber experience wins by a mile. Pair our award-winning fiber with the largest wireless network in North America, and AT&T is the clear choice to connect customers anytime, anywhere.' But just because a company wins kudos as the fastest ISP in the country -- or a particular state or city -- doesn't automatically make it the best internet provider for you. Though AT&T Fiber places highly in CNET's overall ISP rankings (and is tied with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet for the highest score among all internet providers in the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index report), it might not be available in your area. There may also be a smaller or more regional provider that might make more sense for you. Speed test results can be important factors when choosing a broadband provider, but they shouldn't be your only consideration.

Investors Should Still Avoid Verizon Stock Despite Rising Earnings. Here's Why.
Key Points Verizon's already massive debt has risen further this year. Verizon now has to balance expectations of dividend increases against its generous yield. Reducing or suspending its dividend to focus on debt reduction could help Verizon stock longer-term. 10 stocks we like better than Verizon Communications › On the surface, Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) released a solid earnings report for the second quarter of 2025. The company benefited from rising revenue, earnings, and free cash flow, and a raised outlook bodes well for the communications stock's progress. What the report did not do is alleviate concerns about one area of the balance sheet where the company has struggled for years. That strongly indicates that without one painful but critical move, Verizon stock will likely continue to struggle. Verizon's ongoing concern Verizon's situation worsened in one key area: total debt. As of the midpoint of 2025, Verizon's total debt now stands at almost $146 billion. This is up from $144 billion at the end of last year as its unsecured debt, which typically carries higher interest rates, rose by $2 billion. However, when factoring in the total equity, or book value, of $104 billion, it becomes apparent how much strain these obligations place on the balance sheet. Admittedly, Verizon and its main competitors, AT&T and T-Mobile, have also depended heavily on debt to finance the construction and maintenance of their telecom networks. Verizon's debt was more manageable until 2021, when the company spent $52.9 billion to acquire C-band spectrum. Spectrum is a sort of "RF real estate" that grants Verizon the exclusive right to use a specific frequency in a geographic area. This was prime spectrum, which enabled many of its wireless service offerings. So why is the debt an issue? Indeed, the debt level itself is not necessarily an issue. Over the previous 12 months, Verizon spent $6.6 billion in interest expenses. This amounts to a slightly more than 4% in interest costs when factoring in the $154 billion in total debt, a relatively low rate. Nonetheless, interest rates have risen since 2021. Even though only around $2 billion of Verizon's debt is due this year, it will likely have to refinance that debt at a higher interest rate, meaning investors should assume that the cost will rise over time if its financial situation remains the same. Another factor is its dividend sustainability. Verizon has built an 18-year streak of payout hikes and likely wants to avoid the fate of AT&T, whose stock suffered for years after it abandoned a 35-year record of annual dividend increases in 2022. Verizon's dividend returns are also significantly above those of its peers. At $2.71 per share, its dividend yield is 6.4%. That is more than 5 times the S&P 500 average of 1.2%. It is also significantly higher than the yields of AT&T and T-Mobile, which return 4.1% and 1.4%, respectively. That dividend cost Verizon nearly $11.4 billion over the last 12 months. In a sense, it can cover this cost since it generated just over $20.1 billion in free cash flow during the same period. Still, with a dividend cut, Verizon could also use some or all of that $11.4 billion to retire debt. So far, Verizon has not done that, as its high yield likely makes the stock a draw for income investors. Also, if AT&T and other stocks are any indication, a dividend cut could lead to stock price declines in the near term. Nonetheless, lower debt levels would help stabilize the balance sheet. Over time, this could make the stock more attractive, as it has underperformed the market despite trading at a P/E ratio of 10. Income investors would suffer from both lower dividend income and falling stock prices in the near term. Conversely, the low P/E ratio may limit the downside. The improved finances could draw investors to the stock, possibly compensating for the lost dividend income in the long run. Making sense of Verizon stock Even with the positive earnings report, Verizon stock is likely a hold for now. While its dividend is generous, its high cost to the company and heavy debt burdens likely make the dividend's current trajectory unsustainable. That will lead to more struggles for Verizon stock if it lowers the dividend to better service its debt. However, investors should also note that AT&T remains a solid dividend stock despite slashing the payout. That indicates that as investors adjust to a new reality, rising earnings, a stronger balance sheet, and a low P/E ratio could make Verizon stock an attractive holding if it works harder to lower reduce its debt.
