Telegram via low-speed mobile (terrestrial) and satellite networks with frequent signal interruptions
Access speed:
up to 22 kbps
down to 88 kbps
It is impossible to reliably send attached files larger than 70 KB up due to possible short-term interruptions of the network signal (for example, in Iirdium satellite networks or low-speed 2G mobile networks). Which leads to the file transfer process stopping at the moment of interruption.
When the signal is restored, it is necessary to completely repeat the sending of the unsent file.
Unfortunately, Telegram does not have the ability to resume sending/downloading a file from the moment of the connection interruption (i.e. send only the part that was not transmitted before the connection was interrupted). Which leads to significant losses of time and expensive satellite traffic on frequent repeated processes. And often it is simply impossible to transfer a file larger than 70 KB between points of short-term interruptions.
Please consider adding an option to the app - working over a network with a low-speed unstable signal. For example, allowing the user to select the maximum packet size (e.g. from 5 KB to 100 KB) into which the file should be split before sequentially sending its parts to the server or downloading from the Telegram server.
