The Ministry of Digital Affairs is developing an order that will fix specific Internet speed figures that are mandatory for all operators, but quality indicators will increase gradually until 2030.
This was stated by Stanislav Prybytko, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation for the Development of Digital Infrastructure, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
Previously, the lack of regulatory regulation of Internet speed created a legal vacuum: providers promised super-fast Internet, but in reality it was legally impossible to prove the low quality of services. The state simply did not have the legal leverage to influence providers.
Law 4670-IX, passed in November 2025, finally fixed this — now Internet speed is officially enshrined as a criterion for service quality.
Currently, outdated standards for mobile Internet are in effect — only 2 Mbps. But in reality, according to Ookla data as of early 2026, the median speed in Ukraine is already over 43 Mbps. Therefore, the Ministry of Digital Affairs is preparing an order that will set new Internet speed figures for all operators.
«Our goal is to establish a standard that would encourage operators to improve networks, and not simply comply with outdated standards. At the same time, we also take into account the realities of war — networks are damaged, so quality indicators will gradually increase until 2030,» Prybytko noted.
The National Commission for State Regulation of Electronic Communications (NCEC) will be responsible for monitoring compliance with the established standards. The regulator has the technical basis for independent monitoring of communication quality and has the authority to consider citizens' complaints about inadequate communication quality.
