Top Speed in Mobile Internet: MTS Leads in Minsk, Clocking 44 Mbit/s
MTS Leads in Mobile Internet Speed in Minsk, According to State Supervisory Body
In a significant development, Belarusian mobile operator MTS has been declared the leader in mobile internet speed in Minsk, as per measurements conducted by the state supervisory body for electrocommunications "BelGIE" in 2025.
The average data transmission speed from the subscriber for MTS stands at an impressive 21.42 Mbps, making it the highest in the city. Furthermore, over 95% of 3G sessions and over 92% of 4G sessions on MTS's network exceed 2 Mbps and 5 Mbps respectively, demonstrating the operator's commitment to delivering high-quality data services.
The network's leadership extends to a wide range of other parameters and indicators, as observed in Minsk. However, the exact key performance indicators (KPIs) of MTS as the mobile operator with the highest data transmission speed in Minsk are not extensively detailed in publicly available sources.
Typical KPIs for a mobile operator focused on data transmission speed and service quality likely include data transmission speed, network coverage and availability, customer base and subscription growth, network latency and reliability, Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, average revenue per user (ARPU), and customer satisfaction and churn rates.
As one of the four major Russian mobile networks, MTS is a significant player in the region. Its network performance, including high data speeds in Minsk, is indicative of its competitive standing. However, there have been reported issues and outages affecting MTS in Russia recently, suggesting ongoing operational challenges in service stability.
Historically, Belarus’s network performance has lagged behind regional peers. Performance improvements have been a focus but with limited publicly published detailed KPI trends. The general telecom industry trends in the region emphasize network upgrades, especially with 5G deployment seen globally, which would contribute to improving data transmission speeds and operator KPIs over recent years.
It is worth noting that the average data transmission speed in 4G/3G networks in Minsk's capital is 44.07 Mbps. The average video playback speed is not provided, but the video start-up speed stands at 1.27 seconds. The average data transmission speed has increased by 30% compared to last year. On August 15, at 09:00, MTS had the highest indicator among all operators, as recorded by systematic monitoring by the state enterprise "BelGIE".
However, the average voice transmission quality score, the average data transmission speed in voice calls, the average data transmission speed in 2G networks, the average video playback quality score, the percentage of successful web page loads, and the percentage of connections between subscribers within 10 seconds are not provided in the available data. For precise KPI figures and improvement trends, direct reports from MTS Belarus or independent telecom market analysts would be required.
- The strong commitment of MTS towards delivering high-quality data services in the technology sector is evident in their industry-leading mobile internet speed in Minsk, as per BelGIE's measurements in 2025.
- In the finance sector, the impressive performance of MTS, a major Russian mobile network, is indicative of their standing in the competitive market, as shown by their network's high data speeds in Minsk, although they have faced reported operational challenges in service stability.
