Beeline and Megafon Report Stable Networks Amid Wider Internet Disruptions
The operators Beeline and Megafon stated that their networks remained stable and that the disruption lay beyond their control. RIA News cited the statements from the mobile operators’ press services as the basis for this assessment.
Beeline emphasized that its own network is functioning normally. The company explained that any interruptions in some Internet services fall outside Beeline’s responsibility and do not indicate a fault in its infrastructure.
Megafon echoed this view, noting a drop in traffic levels on the Russian Internet while stressing that the issue was not located within the company’s network. A spokesperson for Megafon described the traffic decline as a regional matter and confirmed that the company’s network continues to operate normally.
The statements followed earlier reports from Russia’s leading mobile operators about a broad outage. The discussions pointed to a failure in DNSSEC, an enhancement to the domain name system aimed at improving user security. Observers noted that the outage appeared regional, with access problems affecting sites using the .ru domain in some areas.
Earlier in the week, Ukrainian Monobank also faced operational disruptions, halting certain transactions. This development added to the perception of a wider technical disturbance affecting digital services across multiple regions.
Analysts suggest the incident underscores the interconnected nature of Internet infrastructure where regional DNS security features can influence broad access patterns. While Beeline and Megafon asserted their networks remained reliable, the events highlight the importance of robust DNS configurations and the potential impact of DNSSEC-related issues on user experience. Ongoing monitoring and coordination among telecom operators, DNS providers, and regulatory bodies are expected to shape responses as the situation evolves. The public communications from the operators emphasize responsibility lies with external components or regional networks beyond the direct control of carriers.
