Over the next decade, the average home Internet speed in Russia will increase almost 100 times – from the current 100 megabits per second to 10 gigabits per second. Representatives of the Internet provider Dom.ru told socialbites.ca about this.
According to experts, the speed of internet connections in Russia is increasing every year. In the period from 2022 to 2024, the speed increase was 43 Mbit/s.
In 2023, more than half (54%) of subscribers in Russia will use the Internet at speeds above 100 Mbit/s, while 10 years ago this rate was only 3%.
The demand for faster access to global network resources in Russia is caused by the growing popularity of services that require large amounts of data transfer (cloud platforms, streaming platforms, modern online games, high-definition content, etc.).
The increase in internet speed has also significantly affected the gaming industry. From 2022 to 2024, computer game traffic among the provider’s subscribers increased by 40%, mobile games by 61%, and game consoles by 54%.
According to Dom.ru analysts, by 2035, 98% of Russians will have access to a network with a capacity of more than 1 Gbit/s, and 50% will use the Internet at 10 Gbit/s. High-speed connectivity will become as much of a necessity as having electricity.
In addition to meeting the needs of ordinary users, fast Internet will allow for a wider implementation of “smart” sensor networks that monitor the safety and security of home systems (presence of smoke, water leakage, location of doors and windows), etc. experts noted.
