According to the Service for Regulation and Supervision in the Communications Industry under the Ministry of Digital Development and Innovation Technologies, average monthly mobile internet traffic consumption in Kyrgyzstan in the first half of 2026 reached 44.7 GB per active subscriber. The preliminary data were provided to Tazabek.
Traffic consumption growth and what the statistics take into account
There has been a notable increase in traffic consumption compared with previous years. In 2024 the figure was 26.3 GB per month, and in 2025 it was 32.8 GB.
What is included in the consumption calculation
It is important to note that the figure is calculated not per every resident of Kyrgyzstan, but on the basis of the number of active SIM cards used for mobile internet access. The statistics take into account not only traffic consumed on smartphones, but also data from SIM cards used in modems and routers, as well as corporate connections.
How the figure is calculated
It was explained that several people and devices can use the internet through a router with a single SIM card. At the same time, one person may have several active SIM cards registered.

The regulator cautioned that the data for the first half of the year are not the final result for the full year.
