Also I agree that in Msk or Spb you can't really see much difference to London (except for amount of road cops probably) and LTE works much better, this is not really an excuse for considering all the other regions as non-existent. Majority of people in Russia still live outside of Msk/Spb.
And I'm not singling Russia out here, I'm just equally pissed off by Wales being treated as some kind of blackhole in UK, with GPRS barely working...
