The increase, amounting to 20-30 cedis, has sparked public outcry. "Telecel did some increases on their fixed broadband…the regulator has been informed and as a ministry we are having a conversation with the operator on the reversal of that increase. Any operator that charges beyond the approved rate, there will be sanctions," stated Minister George.
