It's not that simple: "Beeline" CEO explained the slowdown of YouTube in Russia

According to him, the problem is related to the aging of the video distribution network (CDN), which is no longer developed or supported after the official departure of the service owner from the country.

Anokhin noted that due to the growing amount of content, the equipment cannot cope with the load, and telecom operators, including "Beeline", are faced with a stream of complaints from users. He stressed that the providers themselves do not limit the data transfer rate, and the difficulties are caused by technical problems on the YouTube side.

In December 2024, Russian providers also stated that they did not impose restrictions on YouTube traffic, and the slowdown of the platform was caused by external factors.
