In response to written requests from users, Beltelecom
reports that the problem is not on their side. However, the “neighboring” ip-addresses are traced without any problems, and according to the
bgp.he.net website,
they belong to the same AS24940 owned by Hetzner hosting.
We remind that earlier Beltelecom announced
Maxiphone - its own IP telephony service. Conversations between internal subscribers are paid, and for international calls are used nationwide tariffs.
