Rostelecom informed about technical problems in the operation of Google equipment.

This equipment is used on the operator's network infrastructure.

Slowdown

YouTube's work in Russia has slowed down due to problems with the operation of the specified equipment.

The impossibility of its expansion under the conditions of the processed traffic led to an overload of the existing capacities at the peering junctions.

As a result, the download speed and playback quality of YouTube videos for subscribers of Russian operators may differ from what they are used to.

The State Duma said that the slowdown in access speed to YouTube will occur due to the failure of Google CDN servers.
