COVID-19 lockdown: Stop unnecessary video calls – Telcos Chamber
The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications has called on Ghanaians to limit data usage in the period of the ongoing lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many Ghanaians have complained of poor network services from their service providers as the use of data has increased due to the majority of workers working from home and people connecting with loved ones through the internet.
But the Chamber, in a 10-point guidance document, has asked Ghanaians to limit the amount of data they use within rush hours such as 9 am to 11 am as well as 7 pm to 11 pm.
“Avoid the use of online entertainment services during digital traffic rush-hours (9 am-11 am and 7 pm -11 pm), to allow telecommunications networks to meet the most demanding needs of communication applications, professional office teamwork and distance learning, which are crucial to a large number of Ghanaian citizens and businesses and critical to the functioning of the entire economy. If you are using services like Netflix, YouTube, reduce the quality of the videos from high to standard definition to conserve bandwidth,” the Chamber stated in a statement.
