Over the year, in the regions of Russia, the mobile Internet speed indicator dropped from 20 Mbit/s to 18.7 Mbit/s.
The speed of mobile Internet in the regions of Russia has decreased due to the lack of equipment for cellular networks. This was reported by the Russian publication Izvestia with reference to data from the TelecomDaily agency.
Over the past year, the speed has dropped from 20 Mbps to 18.7 Mbps. However, in Moscow, the speed increased by more than 20% – up to 63 Mbit/s, because this is where the main investment of operators is focused and the competition forces them to improve the quality of communication.

In the regions of Russia, backup equipment cannot provide high-quality communication, so operators are trying to support it by expanding the coverage of 4G, using frequencies originally intended for others more technologies.
The General Director of the TelecomDaily agency, Denis Kuskov, explained that all available equipment to support mobile communications is concentrated in the capital of the Russian Federation to reduce the risks of speed reductions for Moscow.
“Federal government agencies and large businesses are concentrated here. Entities are provided on an outstanding basis,” he said.
According to Kuskov, the use of 4G frequencies can reduce the imbalance, and in the future, replacing the import of network equipment will help solve this issue. However, it is not yet known when this will happen.
It was noted that problems with mobile Internet are already beginning in the Moscow region.
An employee of a partner company of several mobile operators said that the decrease in Internet speed in the regions is due to the fact that the lack of equipment is combined with a constant increase in mobile Internet traffic.
It was previously reported that Russia is trying to strengthen censorship by limiting the country’s residents’ access to virtual private networks (VPNs). By acting in this way, the Kremlin wants to deprive Russians of access to objective international news sources.
Russia also uses video games, particularly Minecraft and World of Tanks, to spread propaganda.
