St. Petersburg has been experiencing technical problems with mobile internet for the second consecutive day. Users from all providers are complaining about disruptions, inaccessibility of certain applications, and navigation services.
Users even jokingly advise buying paper maps and restarting their phones after leaving home due to connectivity issues
Agitated residents of the St. Petersburg region are easy to find - they actively express their outrage on social media and on the page of the Committee for Informatization and Communication of the city. Committee representatives confirmed that the reason for the problems is the implemented security measures, which lead to the inaccessibility of even permitted resources, such as government services and banking services.
Local residents are outraged by the restrictions that prevent them from fully using the internet and are addressing the authorities with requests for compensation for the damages incurred
Additionally, starting from March 1, 2026, Roskomnadzor will receive expanded powers, which include the ability to block websites and even disconnect the Russian segment of the network from the global internet.
The expansion of Roskomnadzor's powers and the problems with mobile internet in St. Petersburg are current topics that provoke outrage among the city's residents and require attention from the authorities to ensure the proper functioning of the network under security measures.
