It is noted that now the consumption of content at high speed will be possible without loss of quality, even with a weak Internet connection and unstable mobile networks.

Content delivery time has decreased by 55%, and the total number of events viewed daily has grown by more than 250 million. Content delivery has doubled, and in bad networks, users began to consume 10% more content. The application with the new network technology was tested and showed an increase in speed not only in Russia, but also in a number of other countries, including Germany, Brazil and Moldova.
