On October 3, on the eve of the rally against the establishment of the border with Chechnya, problems with mobile Internet were discovered in Ingushetia. 3G and 4G networks have not actually been working in the republic for the last week.
Protest leaders complained that communication problems complicate coordination, writes BBC Russian Service . One of the employees of the Megafon company handed over to journalists the data of corporate correspondence and internal resources of the operator. Having studied their publication, he concludes that Megafon is aware of the problems with mobile Internet in Ingushetia, but is in no hurry to fix them.
As follows from the MegaFon monitoring system, now almost all base stations located on the territory of Ingushetia are marked in red as problematic, while the base stations in neighboring North Ossetia operate as usual,
Although the operator denies the presence of technical problems, from a letter from managers to employees it follows that the company "discovered an accident affecting the inoperability of 3 / 4G base stations." In the same letter, employees who work in the call center are advised to tell subscribers that "difficulties in providing communication services have not been recorded."
The Internet also does not work for the Ingush clients of Beeline and MTS.
Since October 4, a meeting has been held in the capital of Ingushetia against the agreement on the exchange of territories, which was signed by the head of the republic, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, and the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.
