    All the videos I’ve seen are CCTV which were distributed well after the fact. channel 12 from Russia reported the jamming. I’m aware of what a mobile network will do on overload since I used to design and deploy them. It doesn’t quite work that way.

      Telegram channels such as Baza, Ostorozhno Novosti and Vazhnye Istorii were posting eyewitness statements and phone footage as early as 20:15 Moscow time and throughout the event. There was no jamming. Degraded performance was reported for Telegram and VK. Whether the issue was with the local access points or Telegram’s data centers is not clear.

        Just because cell networks are jammed doesn’t take the whole Internet down. Wifi sourced from copper and fiber networks will continue to work.

        And Jamming isn’t some sort of scifi superpower, plenty of devices will connect despite the attempts to jam. Those in closest proximity to the jamming source would be most affected.

        So don’t make leap that “videos getting published to Telegram” = “No jamming was occurring”, because one doesn’t prove the other.

          Again, what’s the source that the internet was jammed? I haven’t heard anyone mentioning that, including witnesses on the place.

            I thought Internet was already under control of Moscow, but it’d be wild if it turned out it wasn’t all this time and Putin would never do something like this again, like those other times he did

          But the burden of proof is on you. At this time, you are simply spreading an unfounded conspiracy theory.

      You didn’t answer the question.

      Where are you getting this information about “jamming” from?

      This is the first time I’m hearing this.

        It’s in the text. Read it again.
