Turkmenistan had 2.59 million internet users in early 2024, about 39.5% of the population—the lowest rate in Central Asia. The state-run Turkmentelecom and its mobile arm TM CELL/Altyn Asyr hold a monopoly, with 4.34 million mobile subscriptions. Internet access is tightly controlled, VPNs are banned, and home satellite dishes remain illegal. Arkadag launched a pilot 5G network using Huawei equipment by June 2025.

By early 2023, 86.9% of Belarusians—about 8.27 million people—were online. As of April 2024, 4G LTE covered 93% of the country and 99% of the population. Over 10,000 websites were blocked by end-2022, with at least 2,000 more in 2023. Belarus has no commercial 5G service, with only pilot tests in Minsk and rollout uncertain due to sanctions.
