Iranian Internet providers decided to ignore the restrictions imposed by the government on the maximum speed of Internet access for Iranian citizens.
A representative of the Iranian Ministry of Telecommunications told the state news agency IRNA a few days ago that providers are forbidden to provide access at speeds higher than 128 Kbps . Officials do not comment on the reasons for the ban, although one can guess that this is due to attempts to limit the "pernicious influence" of Western culture.
However, not all so simple. As follows from the words of the head of the Internet provider CTEL Kish , many companies do not intend to limit the speed, because the authorities are simply unable to verify whether their requirements are being met. Unable to check every port in the country. Providers, without advertising it, at the request of users will increase the speed above 128 Kbps.
