Russia’s leading pay-TV operator Tricolor and Eutelsat Networks have made their satellite internet service available in Siberia.
According to Tricolor, residents of the region, including those in Novosibirsk, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Barnaul, Irkutsk, Tomsk and Kemerovo, can now purchase reception equipment to receive unlimited internet with download speeds of up to 40Mbps.
Through this they will also be able to access such services as Tricolor’s online platform through the free Tricolor Cinema and TV application.
Tricolor also says that the service breaks the stereotype of satellite internet being slow and expensive.
Reception equipment, for instance, is being offered at the special price of R9,990 (€123.7).
Tricolor has operated a satellite internet service since September 2016.
