At the end of May, the average mobile Internet speed in the Moscow metropolitan area – the capital territory except the center and the Moscow region within 50 km from the Moscow Ring Road – was 48.3 Mbps. This is 11 Mbps more than a year earlier and 2.2 times higher than the national average, according to the TelecomDaily report, – up from 1.9 times last year.

MTS with 69 Mbps is the leader in average mobile Internet download speed in the Moscow metropolitan area. It is followed by MegaFon with 60 Mbps, Beeline – 33.2 Mbps and Tele2 – 31.2 Mbps. The highest upload speed was also shown by MTS – 31.2 Mbps, followed by Beeline with 30.5 Mbps, MegaFon – 29.1 Mbps and Tele2 – 8.4 Mbps. The speed was measured in late May – early June.

According to analysts and telecom companies, operators carried out a large-scale modernization in the Moscow region in the first half of 2022. Since 2020, MTS has invested about 40 billion rubles (USD 750 million) in the local network modernization, and Beeline has invested 27.5 billion rubles (USD 515 million). MegaFon also confirmed the company network upgrade in the capital area. Tele2 says, it does not decide on improving the quality of communication based on proximity to Moscow.

According to Maxim Savvatin, iKS-Consulting analyst, the Moscow region takes 25% of the telecom market revenue.
