"Information could have fallen into the hands of foreign intelligence agencies": Roskomnadzor blocked the Speedtest service.

The reason for blocking the online service for measuring speed and checking connection quality is a threat to the security of the RuNet.

"Speedtest collected technical data on network operations, information that could have been obtained by foreign intelligence agencies,"The deputy explained the blocking Anton Nemkin.

According to him, Rustore is available "safe alternative" — the ProSet application, developed by a center subordinate to Roskomnadzor.

"Basically, it's another bout of paranoia—like, Ookla 'works for the CIA, Mossad, and MI666.' Due to the month-long ban on profanity, no comments." — the head of the Internet Defense Society commented on his Telegram channel Mikhail Klimarev.

According to Speedtest, Russia currently ranks 88th in the world for mobile internet speed, with a speed of 37,61 Mbps. However, back in January, the speed was approximately 2,5 times higher: 90,06 Mbps.
