Internet providers in Russia 2026: home broadband ranking
A ranking of home internet providers in Russia based only on facts from official sites. Prices are for Moscow. We take the cheapest tariff with a stated speed of at least 100 Mbit/s at the regular price after any promotion and show it as a percentage of the country reference price of 575 rubles a month (the median of collected prices at launch); the original price is on the card. Sites of some large operators are closed to automated checks, so they may be missing from the list; that is no judgement of their service. Speed is advertised; we use no tests or reviews, and availability depends on your address. Compare Scores only within Russia. Score is not for sale; paid placements, if any appear, will be a separate labelled block.

Not ranked yet: not enough verified data
These services are known to us, but we haven't verified enough facts to rank them fairly.

- МТС (site closed to automated checks, )
Sites marked as closed refuse automated reading (403 error, captcha or a robots.txt ban). We don't bypass such protection, so we can't verify their facts and they are not ranked. This says nothing about their quality. A company can send links to its official pages to [email protected].
How we calculate the Score
30%
Network
Whether the provider sells fibre to the home or building to residential customers, the highest advertised download speed on a published tariff (log scale up to 10 Gbit/s), and how many of three technologies it offers: fibre, cable, DSL. Speed is advertised, not measured.
35%
Cost
Monthly price with tax of the cheapest internet-only tariff with a stated speed of at least 100 Mbit/s, at the standard price after any promotion, as a percentage of the country's reference price (100% equals the reference; the score falls from 50% to 200%). The local-currency price is shown next to it and is comparable only within the country. We also count whether a tariff with no minimum term exists and whether standard installation is free without a temporary offer.
20%
Service
Whether home-internet customers get an app or online account, and whether general support with a live person runs around the clock every day. A faults-only line or a bot does not count.
15%
Transparency
Whether the provider's legal entity holds a telecom regulator's licence or registration, per the register or a number on its official site (the UK has no licences, so there we count membership of an Ofcom-approved dispute scheme), and whether contract terms are published without logging in.
How to choose an internet provider
Start with your address
Technology and price depend on the building: check your address on the provider's site to see what you can actually get. Fibre to the home is usually steadier than DSL but is not available everywhere.
Count the price after the promotion
Look at the price once the discount ends and across the whole contract. Add installation, router rental and any mandatory extras.
Check the term and how to leave
Read whether there is a minimum term, what early exit costs, and whether the price can rise during the contract.
Don't pay for speed you won't use
Advertised speed is not guaranteed. For video and home working 100–300 Mbit/s is usually enough; what matters more is whether your router and home Wi-Fi can keep up.
Frequently asked questions
Who licenses internet providers in Russia?
Roskomnadzor. Home internet is provided under a licence for telematic communication services, which can be checked by the provider's tax number (INN) in Roskomnadzor's public licence register.
Why is the speed shown as "up to"?
It is the maximum speed the provider promises, and it depends on what is technically possible at your address. MegaFon, for example, states that speeds above 100 Mbit/s are provided where technically possible.
How do I choose an internet provider in Russia?
Check that your address can be connected, the regular price after any promotion ends, the connection fee and the cost of renting or buying a router. Our ranking uses the regular monthly fee, not the promotional one.
