In response to user complaints, the Odesa-based provider Tenet stated that a large number of simultaneous game downloads had overloaded external backbone channels. This caused a noticeable slowdown in access to Internet resources and online services, including games and IPTV. The company emphasized that it is working to resolve the problem together with the backbone operators to stabilize the situation.
Another major provider, Triolan, also confirmed the problem, noting that Internet speeds are decreasing across the country. According to the company, the reason is the increased load on the channels due to the massive download of STALKER 2.
The game itself has not been spared, with users reporting long delays in downloading STALKER 2 despite high internet speeds. Problems with access to servers are being experienced on all platforms.
Fortunately, the providers are already actively working to fix the technical problems, so Ukrainians can hope to restore stable network operation in the coming hours.
For gamers who haven't had time to download the game yet, the only thing left is patience and hope that the usual Internet speed will return soon.
