The expert group analyzed the key indicators of the home Internet in the cities of the Urals and other countries of the world. It turned out that residents of Ugra along with Thajon (South Korea) and Budapest (Hungary), have the opportunity to enjoy the fastest and affordable Internet. Comparing key indicators of the Ural region with foreign statistics, researchers were based on the data of the national provider - Rostelecom company.
"Users in social networks and messengers periodically write that in the Urals slow and quite expensive Internet. So, it is argued that in the United States, Europe, communication services and a variety of video services are much better developed. We decided to find out if it was, "the authors of the study are noted, the team of the publication" Be Mobile ".
100 cities of the world with a population from 1 to 2 million people were sampled to the sample, as well as settlements in the Arctic zone. Experts compared speed data, cost and home Internet penetration. The reports of the UN, International Monetary Fund, the statistics of speed measurement services and the data of the largest telecom operators in each of the countries were used as sources of information.
It is noteworthy that the most fast Internet is most often provided in Asian countries, for example, in Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore. But in Europe it is much less common. In Western Europe, users at best can count on Internet 100 Mbps.
It is worth noting that in Russia high-speed Internet from 300 to 500 Mbit / s is available even in the territories located in harsh climatic conditions. Among them are Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut, Nizhnevartovsk. All thanks to the modern technology of "Optics in an apartment" - the cable is started directly into the house or apartment, which allows residents without loss of quality to use the Internet, interactive TV and digital services.
Similar to the geographical position of the city of Canada and the United States, mostly use only satellite communication channels up to 10 Mbps, and they are less reliable and more expensive for ordinary users.

Our company has built more than 25,000 kilometers of optics in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District. On an ongoing basis, modernization of communication networks is being upgraded, we replace the analog lines optical.
