Providers will report a significant decrease in home Internet speed. The likely reason is the release of the long-awaited STALKER 2, which is actively downloaded by gamers.
The CEO of «Lanet» reports that the problems with the Internet arose precisely because of the mass download of STALKER 2.
«A terrible bunch of gamers have been downloading hundreds of gigabytes of the new game release since 18:00. All transport channels and services of the global Internet are overloaded,» he noted.
The graph above shows that Lanet’s traffic exceeds 600 gigabits per second.
And here is a message from the LinkCom provider and others.
According to Forbes, problems with Internet speed are observed at Tenet and Triolan providers.
STALKER 2 caused a real anomaly, according to the Telegram channel of the Odesa provider «Tenet», which has 200,000 subscribers. «Due to the massive download of the highly anticipated STALKER 2 game in multi-threaded mode, our partners' external trunk channels are currently experiencing congestion,» the statement explained.
Currently, there is a temporary decrease in the speed of the Internet in all directions, according to the Telegram channel of the Kharkiv provider Triolan. «This is due to the increased load on the channels due to the massive interest in the release of the STALKER game,» the message states.
On the other hand, «Kyivstar» reported that their subscribers did not notice significant changes in the speed of the home Internet. «Our subscribers use gigabit speeds, especially gamers, so the download speed of video games may decrease minimally, which is not very noticeable to subscribers,» the company told Forbes.
One of the providers commented on the traffic situation to OBOZ.UA. He noted that all Internet providers in the country are currently observing this situation. «Now there are difficulties in the operation of the points of the traffic exchange point. This is due to the load on trunk channels throughout Ukraine,» explained the provider, whose name the publication did not disclose.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians on the Internet complain en masse about the significant slowdown in Internet speed.
