Antimonopoly Service launches investigation into internet providers' price increases
An investigation into potential abuses among internet providers has been initiated, the State Service for Antimonopoly Control and Consumer Market Supervision under the Ministry of Economy announced on August 14. The investigation concerns the increase in the minimum tariff for fiber-optic internet with a speed of 40 Mbps. The current monthly tariff of 18 AZN will now be replaced by a tariff of 25 AZN for a speed of 100 Mbps.
As a result, the cost of fiber-optic internet services will significantly rise, and consumers will no longer have the option to choose a lower internet speed (below 100 Mbps). "In this regard, the State Service has sent inquiry letters to market participants, held a series of meetings, and requested relevant information. Based on the investigation results, legal measures will be taken," the statement said.
