Rostelecom announced at the SibSvyaz exhibition that the channel capacity would be increased from 18 Mbit/s to 60 Mbit/s by the end of the year. Let's hope that we will also "get it" from this big Internet, because lately the quality of the Internet leaves much to be desired. The channel at the Rinet provider has been reduced by 2 times - to 1 Mbit/s. The entire burden from this event has now fallen on the shoulders of users - given the abundance of subscribers that this subscriber has, this is too little. True, Rinet is russia whatsapp data to atone for this with technical innovations, for example, on October 8, introducing support for the V90 protocol, the first after Moscow and St. Petersburg. In addition, Rinet decided to reduce the cost of work on weekends. But I personally prefer reliable communication to all technologies and stay with TelSib.

Cellular companies are going through an equally difficult period. Now they have begun to experience a natural outflow of customers. The Algo information agency estimates the market in Novosibirsk to have narrowed from 35,000 to 10,000 subscribers. At the same time, Beeline issues invoices at the rate of 9.33, and GSM at 7 rubles. However, the quality of communication is directly proportional to the rate. As far as I know, GSM is in no hurry to install additional antennas, which accordingly affects the quality of communication in remote areas.
In order to find some ways to satisfy insolvent demand, the UK company decided to offer auctions for old (very old) 486s. To each his own, but I work on 166MMX and this is more than enough for me, although I will not agree to less. As for the fours: after all, this is a full-fledged computer, compatible with other more powerful computers. And the software for it can still be found somewhere. It has not sunk into oblivion yet.
The Thorn company decided to open sales to its Internet clients by becoming a Telbis dealer. Here is another option for finding compromises and new options for working in difficult times of crisis.
