## Key Points

- According to TelecomDaily, Beeline ensured 5G availability in the Moscow Metro at 99.48% of the time—the best result among the 'Big Four'.
- The study was conducted in the first week of October 2026 across 24 stations considering passenger traffic using the TEMS Investigation complex.
- Average download speed was 185.3 Mbps, upload speed 84 Mbps, median latency 31 ms, and Kepler page load time 2.99 seconds.
- The published figures reflect a specific measurement and do not guarantee identical quality across all stations and conditions.

In the first week of October 2026, research company TelecomDaily conducted mobile communication quality measurements in the Moscow Metro, following which operator Beeline demonstrated fifth-generation network availability at 99.48% of the time—the best figure among the 'Big Four' operators. The study covered 24 stations taking passenger traffic into account, utilizing the professional TEMS Investigation measuring complex, which allowed for data comparable to real-world network operating conditions in crowded areas.

### Methodology: From Street Entrance to Platform

TelecomDaily specialists measured not only speed, but also 5G connection time, signal latency, and the loading speed of a test Kepler web page. Measurements were taken along the entire passenger route at selected stations—from surface entrances to platforms, which is important for assessing communication quality in places where people are actually in transit. This approach makes it possible to account for not just the 'pure' speed on the platform, but also signal degradation when moving between coverage zones.

### Speed, Latency, and Loading Time

According to the study results, the average data download speed was 185.3 Mbps, and data transmission from the device to the network was 84 Mbps. The median network response time (latency) reached 31 ms, and loading the test page took an average of 2.99 seconds. These parameters fall within the range that operators and analysts typically consider sufficient for comfortable video content consumption, video calls, and working with cloud services under high user density conditions.

### Why the Metro is a Special Segment for 5G

Beeline emphasized that the development of 5G is particularly relevant in the metro, where thousands of people simultaneously use mobile internet for communication, video viewing, and working with digital services. Fifth-generation technology is designed to transmit large amounts of data and handle increased loads, allowing operators to improve communication quality in crowded locations where traditional fourth-generation networks often operate at the limit of their bandwidth capacity.

### Limitations and Context of Results

At the same time, as noted in the study materials, the published figures reflect the results of a specific measurement on a limited set of stations during a certain period and do not guarantee equivalent quality across all metro stations and operating conditions. This is a standard caveat for such studies: actual user experience may vary depending on the time of day, network load, and specific location in a tunnel or on a platform. Nevertheless, the published figures provide a benchmark for the current level of 5G infrastructure development in Moscow's underground transport as of October 2026.

## FAQ

### What 5G availability figure did Beeline show in the Moscow Metro?

Following the TelecomDaily study, 5G network availability reached 99.48% of the time, cited as the best result among the 'Big Four' operators.

### At how many stations were measurements taken and when?

Measurements were taken in the first week of October 2026 at 24 Moscow Metro stations, taking passenger traffic into account.

### What speeds and latencies were recorded?

Average download speed was 185.3 Mbps, upload 84 Mbps, median network response time 31 ms, and loading the test Kepler page took an average of 2.99 seconds.

### Do these figures guarantee the same quality at all stations?

No. As noted in the materials, the published indicators reflect the results of a specific study on a limited set of stations and do not mean identical quality will be provided at all stations and under all conditions.
