The situation with mobile operators is such that literally every day stories about how “qualitatively” they work become public knowledge.
A few examples:
1. Familiar, Ekaterina Koptelova over the weekend bought a SIM card in the MTS office. They promised to activate the number within 10 minutes. With the design and problems of the manager (I was constantly running around for advice, clarifying something) it took an hour and a half to buy a sim card! After registration, Ekaterina received a SIM card with the words: "Your number will be activated only on Monday (it is Saturday at the beginning of the courtyard), because the SYMBOL is DECLINED . " At the request to replace the defective copy, the answer: "And we are all defective . " As a result, after all the twists and turns, the mobile number did not work during the weekend.
2. Despite the fact that providers promise 3G and WiMax Internet at speeds up to a certain level , they often do not even reach half of what they promised . This measured the speed of the mobile Internet was made at a speed of 100 km / h on the Garden Ring. The very center of Moscow! In theory, at this speed, the network is still stable. Here are the results:
Explanation:
- The MTS operator claims 3G Internet speed up to 3.6 mb / s, in fact - 1.23 mb / s;
- Beeline promises up to 3.6 mb / s, we see - 2.20 mb / s;
- Megafon - up to 2.4 mb / s (the lowest) declared, but it turned out to be - 6.13 mb / s (the highest);
- Yota can theoretically accelerate to 10 Mb / s, but here it is 4.07 Mb / s.
3. Triumfalnaya Square (Mayakovskaya metro station), midnight - offices are not working at this time, there are not so many passers-by, in theory, mobile lines should be unloaded, and the Internet should be high-speed, but in reality we see the opposite:
Speed measurement indicators on Triumph Square at 23: 55-00: 05
Actually, I spread the speed measurements on my website http://zamerim.net , while the functionality is not particularly complicated - the metro stations show the speed measurements of incoming traffic (I will add outgoing) and video, which confirms (without installation and special effects) the objectivity of the measurement.
I want to improve the functionality, add some features, the question is what exactly is needed, what can be useful and what to pay attention to?
