Telegram just launched Stars and the prices are weird.

UPD: Telegram fixed the prices

There were a lot of nonsense about recent post with the network speed banner, I think I’m responsible to make some clarifications:

1. It’s known that Premium users can DOWNLOAD files faster, but Telegram never advertised faster UPLOAD speed (the files you send). You can easily verify it with feedback from public Telegram chats or websites like Reddit.
2. Value “increase speed X times” is dynamic (not hardcoded in the strings) and rules by the server.
3. Some public channels spread a rumour with the Swiftgram’s screenshots about upload/download speeds limit of 10 mbps. There’s no confirmation of that in the source code. Perhaps, the value for this rumor has been taken from the screenshot and misinterpreted.
4. With that being said, Telegram chose a new way to promote Premium - a separate network Error prefix instead of well-known Suggestions from server, like the suggestion to get Premium with a discount. What’s the reason behind such implementation?

TestFlight for Swiftgram is broken again. Apple is a small company, we all should understand them.
