At the forum Onliner.by life:) subscribers informed about disabling GSM 1800 MHz base stations of the operator. At least the user from Vitebsk sure that throughout the city, except in some areas, "pootkljuchali 1800 MHz band immediately and massively". Leaving only 3G and GSM-900. Users write that the outage affected not only the Vitebsk and other cities.

Some callers believe that in this way the operator saves, keeping the coating, but reducing the capacity of its network. The representative of life:) on the forum explained: "theoff the 1800 MHz band will not result in loss of coverage and degradation of service in the 2G standard, as the coating is in the range 900 MHz. If it is using 1800 MHz, it is necessary to use dual mode 900/1800 MHz".

to receive the comment in the press service of life:) failed — the appropriate specialist company in the vacation.

Familiar with the situation source on condition of anonymity, told a journalist Onliner.by that life:) lacks the means to maintain the frequency band 1800 MHz. The specialists of the operator's plan to abandon it, but I hope that the capacity of the GSM 900 and 3G (2100 MHz) will be enough to service subscribers in rural areas and in large cities.
