Telegram does not work on October 12: a large-scale failure became known in southern Russia

The large-scale failure mainly affected southern Russia. The majority of complaints come from the Stavropol Territory (16%), Ingushetia (14%), Chechnya (8%), Dagestan (7%) and Krasnodar (7%). 49% of users had problems with the application and 20% complained about the lack of notifications, reports Downdetecrod.su.

According to some users, Megafon subscribers are more likely to have problems.

“The messages do not go through data transmission through Megafon. The alerts appear, but they do not load in the chat and do not disappear,” wrote one user. “You can open it via WiFi, but you can only read text messages and not watch videos,” writes another user.

The site “Sboy.rf” records thousands of complaints about the courier’s work on October 12. 28% of complaints came from Moscow, 18% from the Krasnodar Territory and 5% from the Stavropol Territory.

The reasons for the failures in Telegram are unknown.

Roskomnadzor (RKN) previously proposed slowing down Internet services without publicly disclosing it. According to the developed order, which Forbes reviewed, the department may limit resource work through an extrajudicial decision of the Attorney General’s Office.

On October 8, Roskomnadzor blocked the Discord service, popular among gamers and IT specialists. Access to it was limited due to violation of the requirements of Russian legislation. Experts suggested replacing Discord with Telegram.
