MTS has expanded its fixed-line network in the Moscow region in six months. Thanks to this, more than 73 thousand households can now be connected to gigabit home Internet. This is 28% more than in the same period in 2023.

The innovation applies to new and already inhabited residential complexes, apartment buildings built under the renovation program, and individual residential buildings.

Some statistics:

► 60% of buildings that received internet access from MTS in the first half of 2024 are apartment buildings

► 28% of houses are new buildings: in particular, we are talking about the residential complexes “Klenovye Allei”, “Dostizhenie” and “Parkovye Allei”

► 27% of connected houses are located in the Moscow region: Domodedovo, Chekhov, Lyubertsy, Naro-Fominsk, Krasnogorsk, Reutov, Balashikha, Noginsk and Ivanteyevka

We hide the constant growth of home Internet traffic in our fixed network in the capital and the region. Thus, in June 2024, the volume of MTS home Internet traffic in the capital and the region grew by almost 22% compared to June last year. This is due to both the growth of our network and the growth in the number of devices for home use with Internet access: smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, speakers, smart home devices.

We continue to expand our fixed-line network in the region using the most advanced fiber-optic technology available today, GPON, which provides a stable connection at high speeds for a large number of peer-to-peer users.
