Citing Uzbektelecom (Uzbek joint stock company providing telecommunication services), Uzbek media outlets report that beginning on December 1 internet speed in Uzbekistan will increase 10 times.
An employee at Uzbektelecom, commenting on the issue, noted that technical work is nearing completion, according to Podrobno.uz.
In early 2018, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed to drastically reduce prices for access to Internet and also to increase the connection speed at least four times this year, bringing it to the level of the CIS countries by 2020.
Earlier, the Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and Communications of Uzbekistan had also reported on the final stage of a large-scale internet channel expansion project.
"By the end of 2018, the large-scale project to increase the speed of [internet] access will be completed," the head of the Digital Economy Development Department at the Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and Communications, Azamat Karamatov, said.
