Why do Networks work in New York City which is an island of several 60-plus storey high rises? What about Dubai where there are several high-rises including a mile high high-rise? What about Hon-Kong? Improve your services ...

Why do Networks work in New York City which is an island of several 60-plus storey high rises? What about Dubai where there are several high-rises including a mile high high-rise? What about Hon-Kong? Improve your services and quit complaining.

They make millions in profit but do not want to reinvest in upgrading hence the lame excuse. Why everyone says telecom is highly successful in Africa? The profit margin is the highest all over and still these stupid greedy devils want to hang on to beginners infrastructure to reach 700million customers.

There are more high rise buildings in the small English city of Oxford than in all of the Republic of Ghana. Yet we don't experience the extremely poor quality service that one experiences every day in Ghana. Come with a bet ...

There are more high rise buildings in the small English city of Oxford than in all of the Republic of Ghana. Yet we don't experience the extremely poor quality service that one experiences every day in Ghana. Come with a better explanation, Mr. Textbook Engineer!

I was in one of the western cities last week and I tell you;I couldnt put a call through over a 20 metre distance. When I complained my hostess pointed at the high-rise buildings as the cause.
Haahhaaahhaaa! Nyansas3m!!!

The most flimsy excuse I have ever heard from a technology person. How about western cities that have millions of skyscrapers?

There's a solution for everything under the sun but some will cost you dearly, and these greedy fools don't want to spend and no one is suing or holding their feet to the fire to do good by us.

THE HIGHEST BUILDING IN THE ENTIRE GHANA IS NOT EVEN UP TO 16 STOREYS, AND THIS FOOL THINKS THERE ARE "HIGH RISE" BUILDINGS IN GHANA.

HAS THE AUTHOR OF THIS NONSENSE EVER VISITED DUBAI AND EVEN NEW YORK TO SEE WHAT A HIGH RISE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE.

GO TO NEW AND SEE THE TRUMP TOWERS AMONG OTHERS. GO TO DUBAI AND SEE THE BURG KHALIFA WHICH USED TO BE THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD. GO TO CHINA AND OTHER CIVILIZED COUNTRIES WITH CIVILIZED PEOPLE. THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL SEE HIGH RISE BUILDINGS, NOT THE CRAP WE HAVE IN GHANA.

NETWORK TELECOMMS SERVICES IN GHANA ARE BAD NOT BECAUSE OF THE "HIGH RISE" BUILDINGS BUT BECAUSE OF RELATIVELY USELESS AND LAZY MANAGEMENT.

Governments in most countries step up to ensure fair and equitable pricing and service of good and services to their citizens. NOT SO IN GHANA. Our governments have systematically aided and colluded with telecons to make call rates among the highest in the world. Of course our officials would rather licenses to foreigners (for kickbacks) instead of to Ghanaians. And this is what results - POOR SERVICE AT ASTRONOMICAL PRICES
