Mobile internet has been practically non-existent in Voronezh for about a week, and residents have switched to actively searching for any available connection points. Passwords for public Wi-Fi networks have become a real treasure — they are passed on paper, sent via Bluetooth, and communicated verbally. This is reported by the Telegram channel SHOT.
The streets are bustling "access points": kiosks, cafes, and shops with working Wi-Fi are surrounded by crowds of people and parked cars. In such improvised "hubs," Voronezh residents check messengers, send files, download maps, try to call a taxi, or at least find out how to get to the desired location — since even GPS navigation is unstable or completely unavailable in the absence of mobile communication.
Such mobile internet shutdowns have become common practice in several regions of Russia due to the threat of drone attacks. However, in Voronezh, this measure, according to local residents, has demonstrated high efficiency. Therefore, most people take the restrictions with understanding, although the inconvenience is felt everywhere.
While federal telecom operators do not comment, users continue to adapt: queues are forming at establishments with Wi-Fi, and entire mini-communities of "common interest" are emerging — people communicate, share passwords, and help each other get online.
