The Russian telecom operator has increased the subscription fee for home Internet from November 1 on average by 20-30 rubles. The company made this decision because of the "general price increase". That’s how Rostelecom explained these changes to its users.. Denis Kuskov, General Director of Telecom Daily, said that the cost of archived tariffs has risen in several parts of the country, for example, in the Volga region, in the Urals and in some regions of the North-Western District. Representatives of Rostelecom reported that the same was awaiting residents of other regions of Russia. True, the indexation of archive tariffs will be gradual.

They argue that this measure is partly due to the fact that the ruble weakened, and in 2019 the VAT will increase. Moreover, the company's sources said that they lack the funds to fulfill the requirements of the law of Spring.. According to the project, telecom operators must keep user data for six months.

According to Vedomosti, other providers want to follow the example of Rostelecom in late 2018 - early 2019. Some operators have already managed to do it.. For example, Er-Telecom Holding raised the price of several tariffs by 10%..
