As far as the real speed of Internet access of Moscow broadband providers' clients corresponds to that promised when connecting,
IKS-Consulting found out . At peak load hours, it measured the speeds of customers of the five largest operators. Data was collected among subscribers of unlimited tariff plans.
Since there are already over a million users of “broadband” in Moscow, and there is fast Internet in every fourth apartment, the further success of operators depends precisely on the quality of services, IKS-Consulting comments. Therefore, it would be perfect 100% compliance with the promised speed of real - it proves that the subscriber receives exactly the service that he purchased. In fact, the situation was somewhat different.

All the tested operators have the ratio at a rather high level, the researcher concludes. On average, for five providers, the real rate was 88% of the stipulated tariff. “The value of the coefficient did not depend on the tariff plan,” explains IKS-Consulting, “that is, subscribers who connect at a speed of 256 Kbps and 2 Mbps, on average, receive about 220 Kbps and 1.8 Mbps.” The remaining 6-18% are mostly lost outside the network of the final provider.
