Analysts have estimated the maximum speed of mobile Internet in 5G networks

The maximum data download speed in Russian 5G networks has reached 1.5 Gbps. This indicator was recorded in Ufa in the MTS network operating in the n79 range. This is evidenced by the results of a study by the information and analytical agency TelecomDaily.

Analysts have measured the maximum mobile Internet speeds in five million cities where 5G networks are available: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Ufa. The study covered the networks of the four largest operators — MTS, Megafon, Beeline and T2.

The highest average maximum data download speed among the studied operators was recorded in Ufa — 693.3 Mbit/s. In Moscow, the figure was 629.2 Mbit/s, in St. Petersburg - 581.2 Mbit/s, Yekaterinburg — 402 Mbit/s, Novosibirsk — 362.9 Mbit/s.

Peak speeds in individual networks turned out to be significantly higher. In all the cities studied, MTS recorded the maximum data download speed — in Ufa it reached 1.49 Gbit/s, in St. Petersburg - 1.18 Gbit/s, in Moscow — 1.16 Gbit/s. In Yekaterinburg, the operator showed a result of 846.5 Mbit/s, and in Novosibirsk — 614.2 Mbit/s.

In Moscow, after MTS, Megafon demonstrated the highest maximum download speed — 577.1 Mbit/s. Beeline's rate was 489.5 Mbit/s, and T2's was 292.4 Mbit/s. In St. Petersburg, MTS is followed by T2 with a score of 437.1 Mbit/s, Beeline - 371.9 Mbit/s and Megafon — 336.5 Mbit/s.

The study also showed differences in the spread of 5G technology. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, it was registered in the networks of all four operators, in Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk - two (MTS and T2), and in Ufa — only MTS.

In cities where the operator did not launch 5G, measurements were carried out on LTE networks. The measurements were carried out in the first week of October using certified measuring systems TEMS Investigation and NEMO.
