Studies have shown that the leader in most of the measurements were MTS. So the average speed in the city Mall during the weekdays in 3G networks 8.7 MB/s (MegaFon — 7,4 MB/s Beeline – 6.2 MB/s, Tele2, at 6.1 MB/s), and on Saturday and 2.7 MB/s (“the Megaphone” — 2 Mbps, and Beeline – 1,8 MB/s, Tele2 – 1.3 MB/s).
MTS has taken the lead in measurements of the 4G connection on weekends – 19,1 MB/s (“MegaFon” — 18 MB/s, Tele2 – 17,1 MB/s, Beeline was 16.8 MB/s), but on weekdays MegaFon faster – 25,2 MB/s (“MTS” — 24,7 MB/s, Tele2 – 22 MB/s, Beeline is 20.1 MB/s).

Similar figures and 4G networks: the usual time – MTS average speed is 30.2 Mbps, MegaFon — 28,4 MB/s, Tele2 – 26 Mbps, and Beeline – 14,1 MB/sec. In peak hours on the network for 28.1 and 23.4, 14,1,, 12.8 MB/s, respectively.
