Experts named the operator with the highest speed of mobile Internet. The best mobile Internet - We choose operators by tariffs, coverage, communication quality What is the Internet speed of different operators

Finding the best mobile data plan is like looking for a needle in a haystack. First you need to decide on the requirements for the "best rate" and only then start searching. In this review, we will discuss the most profitable tariff plans from Russian mobile operators and try to find the best solution. At the same time, we will clarify some issues regarding the coverage area.

None of even the best tariff plan for mobile Internet can guarantee high speed access. This often happens - a subscriber buys a SIM card or modem, comes home and finds that the quality of communication is below the limit. This is due to uneven network coverage. Remember that it is impossible to create perfect coverage - there will definitely be places where the coverage will be very weak.

Before looking for the most favorable tariff, you should decide which operators are caught in your home. It is unprofitable to purchase SIM-cards of all operators at once. But you probably know whose signal is best received in your home. In general, the most important task is to test the quality of communication and the speed of access to the mobile Internet. After that, you can start choosing a tariff plan.

Criteria for the "best rate"

Let's see what it is - the most favorable tariff for mobile Internet. The criteria are:

• Minimum subscription fee.
• The maximum amount of included traffic.
• No major restrictions.

Let's say right away - there will be restrictions in any case, as well as floating speed. If you want stability, look for wired providers.

Operator tariff plans

Let's go through the tariff plans of all major Russian telecom operators - these are Tinkoff Mobile, MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2 and Iota. Here we will try to find the best rates for the Internet.

Mobile Internet Tinkoff Mobile

Tinkoff Mobile has one favorable tariff-constructor. Consider the advantages of mobile Internet from Tinkoff Mobile:

• A large 4G coverage area throughout Russia, which provides high-speed access to network resources. The Tele2 operator, with which Tinkoff cooperates, is actively building fourth-generation networks, increasing the number of base stations for greater coverage;
• Independent choice of traffic packages - from 2 GB to unlimited. Choose your preferred volume in your account or mobile application. We have used up all the traffic - connect an additional gigabyte for 99 rubles or choose a more capacious package;
• The possibility of distributing an unlimited package for 399 rubles (in modem mode). Connect the service through the application or personal account. Limited Internet packages are distributed free of charge;
• Unlimited packages for popular social networks, instant messengers, music services and video hosting - no traffic limits when using official applications;
• The ability to connect unlimited without the main internet package. Connect only social networks and instant messengers if you do not need other services, surfing and mail. An excellent opportunity to save on communication services;
• Mobile Internet Tinkoff Mobile works throughout Russia without surcharges (with the exception of Crimea and Sevastopol);
• Low rates in international roaming - traffic from 149 rubles per 100 MB, messengers from 49 rubles per day.

Connect to Tinkoff Mobile and get high-speed Internet access. As a gift the first month of service in the form of a maximum traffic package and all unlimited services as a gift.

MTS tariffs

The most favorable tariff for mobile Internet from MTS is the tariff plan "For a laptop". It provides subscribers with real unlimited speeds up to 4 Mbps. The subscription fee is 800 rubles / month. Tariff benefits:

• The absence of paid subscriptions - that's happiness, gentlemen;
• No extra services - no packages of minutes and SMS;
• Optimal speed for any need - including watching video at resolutions up to 720p.

If at some point you want to “turn up the gas”, we recommend using the turbo buttons “Unlimited for 3 hours” for 95 rubles or “Unlimited for 6 hours” for 150 rubles. Torrents on the tariff work, but with a speed limit of up to 512 kbps (you can try to bypass it through a VPN or traffic encryption).

We have found the best tariff for unlimited mobile Internet via modem, now let's look at the best offer for a mobile phone. This is the Hype tariff, which appeared in 2017. It includes 7 GB of Internet for any resources, as well as unlimited for YouTube, Apple Music, Google Music, Yandex.Music, Skype, popular social networks and instant messengers, for game resources and the Twitch video streaming service. In other words, this is the best tariff for those who actively use social and gaming services. Subscription fee - only 500 rubles / month.

If you need regular traffic, connect the MTS Connect-4 tariff and add the Internet VIP option with 30 GB of traffic for 1200 rubles / month. For a tablet PC, the “For tablet” tariff with 10 GB of Internet for 550 rubles / month is suitable. Here you can also choose unlimited YouTube, traffic for TV, social networks and video calls.

Beeline tariffs

The best tariff for mobile Internet from Beeline is “Internet for Computer”. It provides 25 GB of traffic for 1200 rubles / month. From the fourth month, the amount of traffic grows to 30 GB. When the package is exhausted, the speed is limited to 64 kbps, it is also possible to connect the "Auto-renewal speed" option. The available modifier option is “#everything is possible”, which opens unlimited for social networks and music services. There is a similar tariff for tablet PCs "Internet for tablet" - 10 GB for 550 rubles / month (15 GB from the fourth month).

For the phone, you can offer tariff plans "All 3" - 10 GB for 900 rubles / month, "All 4" - 15 GB for 1500 rubles / month and "All 5" - 15 GB for 2500 rubles / month. This also includes impressive volumes of minutes and SMS.

MegaFon Tariffs

This operator has literally every tariff. We recommend that you carefully read the tariff plans of the "Turn on!" for smartphones - here are traffic packages from 2 to 20 GB, as well as included unlimited options for social networks and instant messengers. Subscription fee - from 400 to 3000 rubles / month. The most powerful offer is the “Turn on! Premium. It includes 20 GB of total traffic, unlimited traffic for social networks, instant messengers, video hosting and music services, as well as over a hundred TV channels and 4 movies. The same line is suitable for tablet PCs.

• "Internet M" - 16 GB for 590 rubles / month.
• "Internet L" - 36 GB for 590 rubles / month.
• "Internet XL" - 30 GB and unlimited at night for 1290 rubles / month.

On the first two options, traffic is divided into equal parts into daytime and nighttime. Daytime is available from 7:00 to 00:59, night - from 01:00 to 06:59. This was probably done so that subscribers could not consume all the traffic.

Tele2 tariff plans

Let's highlight the three most advanced tariffs:

• For a smartphone, the My Online + tariff is suitable for 30 GB for 799 rubles / month. The 1500 minutes included in it can be exchanged for traffic and get another 15 GB (total 45 GB - in our review, the leader of pseudo-unlimits was drawn).
• For a tablet - “Internet to tablet”, which includes 15 GB of traffic, night unlimited, free traffic for social networks, movies, navigation and TV for 499 rubles / month.
• For a modem - "50 GB" with a nightly unlimited for 999 rubles / month.

Please note that the last two items are not tariffs, but options available on the Internet for Devices tariff plan.

Iota tariffs

• For a smartphone - any of the line for smartphones, with traffic from 2 GB for 370 rubles to 30 GB for 650 rubles. Social networks (25 rubles / pc) and instant messengers (15 rubles / pc) are connected separately.
• For a tablet - the only tariff plan with full unlimited. A day - 50 rubles, a month - 590 rubles, a year - 4500 rubles.
• For a modem - adjustable unlimited, from 0 rubles for 64 kbps to 1400 rubles for the maximum possible speed.

Please note that distribution of torrents is “cut” on all Yota tariff plans.

In less than a year - from December last year to November this year - the speed of mobile Internet in Moscow has grown by 35-40%, according to a Telecom Daily report. The leader in speed in the capital and Moscow region networks 3G - Tele2, fourth-generation mobile communications (LTE) - " Megaphone» (see graph).

A year ago, Telecom Daily also recorded the highest average data download speed of just over 7 Mbps in the Moscow Tele2 network. The best result on the LTE network (a little over 19 Mbps) was then MTS. From the materials of Telecom Daily it follows that the most noticeable increase (by more than 70%) over the year was the increase in the speed of access in the 3G network of Tele2, the least (by about 38%) - in the network of the third generation of MegaFon. Most of all, the average speed on the LTE network increased at MegaFon (by 52%), the smallest increase was at MTS (12.5%).

A year earlier, the average access speed in Moscow networks decreased by 15%, says Telecom Daily CEO Denis Kuskov. This was due to a sharp increase in smartphones and tablets among subscribers, he notes. However, this trend was typical for the whole of Russia. According to Telecom Daily, the average data transfer rate in LTE networks in Russian cities with a population of over one million decreased from December 2014 to May-June 2016 by 10–12%.

But in Moscow, by the end of 2016, the situation was reversed due to the construction of new base stations, says Kuskov. Some influence on growth of speed was rendered also by gradual introduction by operators of more high-speed data transmission technology LTE-advanced (LTE-A), he notes.

A Tele2 representative says that over the year the number of base stations in the Moscow network has increased from about 7,000 to 10,000. His colleague from MTS, Dmitry Solodovnikov, does not name an increase, but indicates that there are about 30,000 stations in the operator's network. MegaFon has 28,000 stations, of which about 7,000 support LTE, says Yulia Dorokhin, a representative of the operator. " VimpelCom This figure is not disclosed. The representative of the company only says that the operator is carrying out a large-scale modernization of the network - its capacity and data transfer rate are growing.

Infrastructure director of the metropolitan branch of "MegaFon" Yevgeny Novoselov generally agrees with the conclusions of Telecom Daily.

MegaFon is the best in terms of voice quality, as well as in terms of data transfer rates in LTE and LTE-A in Moscow and the region, he claims, referring to research data. In 2016, MegaFon's capital expenditures in Moscow generally remain at the level of 2015, he notes. According to him, MegaFon is increasing the access speed by mastering the 1800 MHz frequency band. Despite the fact that he historically has the widest frequency band in Moscow in the 2.6 GHz LTE band, he recalls.

The results of Telecom Daily's research are bewildering: MTS's capital costs are higher than those of any of its competitors, but at the same time, MTS's results in Telecom Daily's research are consistently a third lower than the real ones, Solodovnikov is indignant. In addition, the agency is not investigating coverage, he argues. Leadership in mobile Internet speeds is meaningless if the operator covers only part of the territory. These data have no practical significance, Solodovnikov is sure.

It is not the test data that matters to subscribers, but their own user experience, says Alexander Galchenkov, head of the quality and technical audit department at VimpelCom.

Based on the research methodology presented by Telecom Daily, the conclusions are trustworthy, says iKS-Consulting consultant Maxim Savvatin. According to him, now the speed of mobile access in Moscow is at the level of the largest cities in the world, at least in Europe. According to Savvatin, the speed of mobile access in Moscow will continue to grow due to the spread of LTE-A, based on the aggregation of frequencies of different bands (mainly 1800 MHz and 2.6 GHz). The development of this technology is still held back by the fact that relatively few smartphones support it, but as their fleet is updated, the problem will be solved, Savvatin is convinced.

In the coming years, the speed of mobile Internet is unlikely to grow significantly: the number of LTE users will increase, along with it, the load on the networks, and strong technological changes are not expected on the networks of operators, says Konstantin Ankilov, CEO of TMT Consulting. According to him, the situation will change in 2020, when fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks will appear in Russia, as well as around the world. Hardware makers are promising access up to two orders of magnitude faster than current LTE networks, he says.

Mobile Internet speeds in Russia. It is through this service that operators determine the throughput of their hardware.

During the first half of 2019, 8.438 million speed samples. Ookla's SpeedTest service has tested 1.64 million unique devices. It turned out that it takes only 3 minutes to download a 700 MB movie using MegaFon.

It turned out that although we have a cheap connection, it is far from the fastest in the world.

What is the average mobile internet speed in the world?

The fastest Internet is provided in South Korea - up to 77 Mb / s. At the end of 2018, this is the best indicator among all countries in the world. In Korea, regardless of location, there is a high-quality Internet connection everywhere: in catering establishments, offices, hotels, and so on.

The TOP 10 included:

1 . South Korea: 77 Mbps
2 . Norway: 68 Mbps
3 . Canada: 64 Mbps
4. Qatar: 63 Mbps
5 . Australia: 62.38 Mb:/sec
6 . Netherlands: 62.01 Mbps
7 . UAE: 58.82 Mbps
8 . Singapore: 53.87 Mbps
9 . Croatia: 52.85 Mbps
10 . Switzerland: 52.65 Mbps

The national average was 20.12 Mb/s. But this does not mean at all that all operators work at such a speed.

Which operator is leading in Russia in terms of speed

Not so long ago, I personally measured the speed of the Internet in Moscow and the Moscow region. And then the leader is often the operator Yota, working on MegaFon networks. But this concerned only two relatively small zones on the scale of the whole country.

All measurements were made through SpeedTest, which guaranteed perfect results.

Throughout Russia, according to Ookla, MegaFon turned out to be the leader in the quality of data transfer. The average speed of this operator in the country was 27.31 Mbps, which is 7.19 Mb/s higher than the average for all operators in Russia.

For the third year in a row, MegaFon has been considered the leader in terms of data transfer speed in Russia.

According to Roskomnadzor, the operator uses more than 235 thousand base stations. This is the best indicator in the country. The closest competitor, MTS, has 180,000 stations.

▸ 238,527 MegaFon base stations
▸ 183,250 base stations at MTS
▸ 167,654 Tele2 base stations
▸ 156,977 base stations at Beeline

Since the beginning of the year, Tele2 (+13%) and Beeline (+7%) have been leading in terms of development rates.

It is the base stations that are responsible for the coverage and quality of the signal transmission. And the more of them, the better it will be to “catch” the network with the highest speed indicator.

Vlad Volfson, Commercial Director of MegaFon, commented:

Today, a MegaFon client downloads over 10 GB per month on average, and in order to provide the highest mobile Internet speed and the best communication quality for our clients, MegaFon annually invests significant financial and intellectual resources in the development and tuning of the network.

What does Roskomnadzor think about this?

Roskomnadzor constantly monitors cellular companies and publishes the data obtained.

Thus, since the beginning of the year, the number of RESs of the Big Four operators has increased by 7% and amounted to 746,408 units as of June 19, 2019.

Statistical graph of Roskomnadzor

Operators are focusing on 4G (LTE) networks, since now you rarely see a smartphone or tablet without support for 4th generation networks.

Who in Saransk will most quickly be able to catch a Pokemon

How did we do it
Soon Saransk will host the Grand Prix in figure skating, which is already called the rehearsal of the 2018 championship. The city will be filled with tourists, Instagram will be filled with photos of tourists, it’s time to fill “Ratings” with texts for tourists. The locals will also come in handy: they will leave, and we will live here.
So, we decided to find out how things are with mobile Internet in the most popular tourist spots in the city. We bought five SIM cards from different operators (Tele2, Iota, Beeline, MTS and Megafon) and measured the speed in different places using the Speedtest application for android.

We checked the quality of communication: on Millennium Square, on Soborka, in Pushkin Park, on the embankment, at the Admiral Hotel (the rest of the hotels are mainly within the tourist areas), at the station and at the bus station, at the Erzya Museum, next to the RDK and the Opera Theater and ballet. Places in the rating were distributed depending on the quality of the signal and the amount of ping at each point.

ping is the server response time to your request. The higher its value, the more time it will take to open the desired page.

The new federal operator is only developing Saransk so far: there is an official point of sale in City Park on the ground floor, but, according to the consultant, another one will soon open in RIO. The process of connecting to YOTA is standard: you give your passport, sign the contract, get two SIM cards - one for yourself, the second for your “friend”. The Internet is configured by a consultant (we chose this option), or you can take a leaflet with a description of step-by-step settings with you and figure it out at home on your own. Anyway, you will have to do the main thing yourself: download the YOTA application (there is no Internet yet, yes, you will have to look for Wi-Fi), .
Our business did not go further than this - not a single one of the sold SIM cards. Tested on iOs, on android - to no avail. It's a pity, but YOTA is dropping out of the ranking.

4.Tele2

For the youngest of the rest of the operators, we will make a discount for age, forgive not the best connection indicators and leave it on the fourth line of the rating.
Best of all, Tele2 catches near the RDK (almost 20 megabits per second) and in Pushkin Park (19.43 megabits per second), but in other cases the speed is less pleasing. For example, 3.54 megabits were output at the station, and 5.44 on the embankment, and this is subject to good ping and a 4G connection.

3. Megaphone

The megaphone brought a couple of surprises: it gave out an excellent connection where the others failed, and, unfortunately, vice versa.
Apparently, they understand how important it is to send “I'm on my way, meet you the day after tomorrow” to relatives and friends, so the operator shows a record 38.16 megabits per second at the bus station and 29.25 megabits at the station. Near the RDK, the quality of communication also pleases with the numbers on the screen - almost 33 megabits. Actually, that's all. The rest of the city's attractions do not even reach 20 megabits.

2. MTS

On the embankment, MTS gave out its first 30.11 megabits per second, the rest of the results are slightly more modest: 28 megabits - at the Opera and Ballet Theater, almost 22 - near the Erzya Museum, 18.79 - in the Admiral. The lowest rates for MTS are at city stations. You can surf the Internet at such a speed if you simultaneously comprehend Zen.

As the world’s largest country, the Russian Federation has a lot of ground to cover when it comes to mobile infrastructure. In Q1 2018, data from Speedtest Intelligence® shows that Russia ranked 78th in the world, between Malaysia and Chile, for mean download speed over mobile. This ranking places Russia ahead only of Belarus and the Ukraine in Europe. For upload speed, Russia ranks 91st, between Indonesia and Argentina. Change is on the horizon, though, with network improvements resulting in a 14.3% increase in mobile download speed that pales in comparison to the boost in speeds the country could see once 5G projects are realized .

After being the first carrier in Russia to launch VoLTE in 2016, MegaFon has continued deploying various advanced LTE technologies in preparation for 5G. By applying Massive MIMO on a single 20 MHz-wide cell typically capable of 150 Mbps with 2x2 MIMO, MegaFon and Huawei were able to achieve 800 Mbps sector capacity without adding any additional spectrum . Equipped with this knowledge and Huawei’s expertise, MegaFon was able to reach peak speeds of 35 Gbps in a 5G test in St. Petersburg Petersburg in June 2017 using 2 GHz of bandwidth in the 70 GHz “E-Band”. In addition, MegaFon has successfully launched Gigabit LTE in Moscow using 60 MHz of spectrum (1800 MHz, 2600 MHz) and enhanced with 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM . Presumably these improvements will also benefit Yota, a subsidiary of MegaFon.

Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) has been addressing capacity demand in major metropolitan areas by performing software upgrades on its base stations that double the peak speeds of the existing spectrum (1800 MHz and 2600 MHz). By deploying the “trifecta” of advanced LTE features (Carrier Aggregation, 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM), MTS can provide more capacity, wider usable coverage area and decrease the power consumption at the base station by up to 50% . By aggregating the TDD LTE spectrum assets (2600 MHz) on top of the existing FDD LTE anchor (1800 MHz), MTS is able to improve the spectral efficiency of the 2600 MHz frequency band and therefore provide higher peak and average speeds. In preparation for 5G, MTS and Ericsson successfully completed field trials using 15 GHz spectrum that reached peak speeds of 25 Gbps .

Along with a variety of spectrum and infrastructure sharing agreements throughout many regions, Beeline (VimpelCom) has started testing LTE in the Unlicensed spectrum in partnership with Huawei. This move is in preparation for 5G and the upcoming wave of internet of things (IoT) enabled objects. These partners also announced equipment readiness for Five Channel Carrier Aggregation (5xCA) using a total of 55 MHz of spectrum (800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz), 256 QAM as well as four-transmit, four- receive (4T4R) radio operation. Together, these improvements allowed Beeline to achieve peak user speeds over 1 Gbps .

As a follow up to piloting inter-site carrier aggregation back in 2016 , Tele2 has implemented a wide range of solutions such as Self-Optimized Network (SON), Wi-Fi calling and a continued expansion of its coverage footprint using low band 450 MHz and 800 MHz frequency bands. In a joint field trial with Nokia, Tele2 demonstrated a 5G test using Nokia AirFrame systems coupled with AirScale technology in the 4.5 GHz band . This trial used an 8x8 MIMO configuration.

country speeds

In Q1 2018, Russia’s mean download speed over mobile was 16.26 Mbps, a 14.2% increase over that in Q1 2017. The mean upload speed for mobile was 7.44 Mbps, up 18.7% over Q1 2017.

Fastest carriers

Data from Speedtest Intelligence® reveals MegaFon was the fastest carrier in Russia in Q1 2018 with a Speed ​​Score of 21.97 on modern devices. MTS was the second fastest, Tele2 the third fastest and Beeline the slowest.

Speed ​​Score

When analyzing fastest carriers, we consider top carriers (all carriers with 3% or more of total test samples in the market for the period). We then determine the fastest carrier using Speed ​​Score which incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed to rank network speed performance (90% of the final Speed ​​Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed). The Speed ​​Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available across a provider’s network. We take speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (also known as the median), and 90th percentile, and combine them in a weighted average using a 1:2:1 ratio, respectively. We place the most emphasis on the download speeds and median speeds as those represent what most network providers’ customers will experience on a day-to-day basis.

Speedtest® coverage

Speedtest results across Russia follow a pattern that mirrors the country’s population density with the largest quantity of tests taking place in the Northwest, Central, South, North Caucasus and Volga federal districts. MegaFon shows the densest results pattern with second place MTS showing sparser results in the South federal district. Beeline's results are sparser still, followed by Tele2.

Regional mobile speeds

Mean mobile download speeds vary widely across Russia’s 83 federal subjects. The five fastest subjects (Moscow, Moscow Oblast, Murmansk Oblast, Yaroslavl and Saint Petersburg) are split between the Central and Northwest federal districts. The five slowest subjects (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Kamchatka Krai, Voronezh Oblast and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, respectively) are all over the map, including the Far East, Northwest, Central and Ural federal districts.

Fastest carriers by city

Q1 2018

Looking at Russia’s fifteen most populous cities, Moscow is the fastest with a mean download speed over mobile of 23.09 Mbps during Q1 2018. Krasnoyarsk, Saint Petersburg and Ufa form a tight group to rank second, third and fourth fastest respectively. Russia’s slowest city, Voronezh, showed a mean mobile download speed of 8.84 Mbps. The second and third slowest cities, Volgograd and Kazan, showed speeds of 11.53 Mbps and 11.61 Mbps, respectively.

Of all the cities we analyzed, MegaFon is the fastest carrier in the fastest Russian city. They are also the fastest in an additional 13 of the 15 most populous cities in the country. MTS is the fastest carrier in Voronezh.

Conclusion

Russian mobile speeds have some catching up to do if the country wants to compete with speeds in the rest of Europe. But large investments by Russia’s major providers could soon close the gap, at least in the country’s more densely populated western half. MegaFon is the fastest carrier in the country and in 14 of Russia’s 15 largest cities. MTS is the fastest in one city. We’re interested to check back in after 5G is implemented to see how much speeds have improved.

Introduction

Fixed broadband speeds in the Russian Federation are much more internationally competitive than the country's mobile speeds. Data from Speedtest Intelligence® shows Russia ranked 42nd in the world, between Slovenia and Chile, for mean download speed over fixed broadband. The country ranked 16th for mean upload speed, between Reunion and the Netherlands.

country speeds

Results analyzed from over 24 million fixed broadband tests taken during Q1 2018 reveal Russia’s mean download speed was 38.09 Mbps. Average upload speed was only slightly less at 37.76 Mbps.

Fastest providers

According to Speedtest Intelligence data from Q1 2018, the fastest provider in Russia is Dom.ru, clocking a Speed ​​Score of 43.90. Rostelecom and Beeline tie for second place, separated by two hundredths of a megabit. MTS comes in fourth.

Speed ​​Score

When analyzing fastest carriers, we consider top providers (all ISPs with 3% or more of total test samples in the market for the period). We then determine the fastest provider using Speed ​​Score which incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed to rank network speed performance (90% of the final Speed ​​Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed). The Speed ​​Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available across a provider’s network. We take speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (also known as the median), and 90th percentile, and combine them in a weighted average using a 1:2:1 ratio, respectively. We place the most emphasis on the download speeds and median speeds as those represent what most network providers’ customers will experience on a day-to-day basis.

Regional broadband speeds

Mean download speeds over fixed broadband vary even more between Russia’s federal subjects than mean mobile speeds. So much so that a spread between 0.73 Mbps in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and 57.27 in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug exists. The five fastest federal subjects (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Bryansk Oblast, Perm Krai, Kemerovo Oblast and Moscow) are spread widely across the country. These subjects represent the Central, Volga, Ural and Siberian federal districts. The five slowest federal subjects (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Chechnya, Magadan Oblast and Ingushetia) are at the farthest edges of the country. These slower subjects represent Far East Northwest, and North Caucasus federal districts.
