Internet and TV from OnLime - an overview

To connect, the provider uses FTTB technology (or, in another way, GPON) - a fiber-optic cable and related equipment, for example, an ONT optical network terminal.

The company "OnLime" has already carried out Internet and TV in 3.1 million apartments for 2018. The supplier has won the trust of its customers through the following benefits:

1. High speed and stability of communication. The provider provides its users with speeds of up to 500 MB / s. At the same time, in practice, its value corresponds to what is stated in the tariff (a deviation of 5-10% is possible, after 30 MB / s such a slight decrease in speed is felt only when downloading any large files).

   

   The company "OnLime" offers "surfing" in the network at high speed - from 60 to 500 MB / s

2. Instant response from technical support. Any equipment can malfunction, so the company employs professionals who quickly eliminate malfunctions. If there is a breakdown on the line, the subscribers are immediately switched to the backup line so as not to inconvenience them.

   

   OnLime's support service responds to user problems instantly

3. A variety of tariffs. The provider has created the maximum number of tariffs that fit the different needs of customers: games on online services, regular "surfing" and chatting on social networks, watching videos, listening to music, downloading files, etc. There are also mixed plans that combine Internet services and TV.
4. Fast and free connection. After submitting the application and clarifying the details of connecting with the operator of the company, the specialist comes to the house to install the equipment within 1 - 2 days.

5. Bonuses and discounts. The company often holds promotions, which makes it possible for future customers to connect to the provider on the most favorable terms for them.

6. 24/7 support. Experts are ready to answer all your questions both in the daytime and in the evening.
7. Famous channels of various genres for the whole family (over 200) and excellent picture quality.
8. Services "Promised payment" and "Moving". You can use them if you were unable to pay for the Internet on time or if you wanted to move to a house at a different address within Moscow or the Moscow region.

Like any other company, the OnLime provider has some disadvantages:

1. It provides services only to residents of Moscow and the Moscow region.
2. The company's specialists regularly call their subscribers with offers to use additional functions, change the tariff or take part in a particular promotion.

How to activate services from "OnLime"

If you have firmly decided that you need Internet and TV from the OnLime company, proceed to submitting an application for connection. You can leave it on the official resource, in the office itself, or by phone. Let's analyze all three methods.

Official site

Before applying for a connection and choosing a tariff and additional services on the operator's website, you can immediately check whether your house is connected to this provider at the moment or not:

1. Go to the official resource of the "OnLime" provider.

   

   Open the official website of the "OnLime" company to make an application

2. Depending on what exactly you want to connect, select one or two tabs with checkmarks. For example, let's select a list with mixed tariffs "Internet + TV".

   

   Select "Internet" or "TV" or both, depending on what exactly you want to connect

3. Decide on the tariff and click on the "Select" button in the appropriate cell.

   

   Decide on the tariff you want to use in the future

4. In the list of packages that appears on the right, select one and click again on "Select".

   Start address verification using the corresponding button

8. The system will try to find your address in its database. Wait for the completion of the search process. If she does not find it, you will see a corresponding message. The search may be successful.

   

   Wait until the end of the address verification - the system may indicate that the provider is not yet working in your home

9. In both cases, scroll down the site a little - fill in all the fields of the application and click on "Submit".

   

   Write your name and contact phone number and send a request for connection

You will agree with the operator on the date and time of arrival of specialists for installation and adjustment of equipment.

Personal account: opportunities and connection of services

If you have previously been an OnLime subscriber, you must have a registered personal account - through it you can reconnect this or that service. In your personal account, you can also perform the following actions:

• find out the current balance;
• top up the account using non-cash payment methods (bank card, e-wallets);
• see the number of accrued bonuses;
• change your tariff plan;
• contact support;

Top up your balance if necessary.

Contacts for communication

The easiest way is to leave a request for connection via a call to the provider. The company has allocated separate numbers for connection: 8 800 707 80 38 and 8–800–707–80–00. Name your address, the tariff that you have previously selected, and ask clarifying questions to the operator if necessary (for example, about payment), and then arrange the arrival of specialists.

The questions about technical support are not answered here - there is another number for it 8 800 707 12 12. You can call the last number at any time of the day - both from mobile and from landline phones. Phones can get overwhelmed during peak hours - don't worry if you can't get through to the operator the first time. Usually the load subsides within 30 to 40 minutes.

A separate number was introduced for OnLime technical support - 8 800 707 12 12

You can write an application for connection yourself on a PC, and then send it by mail to the provider at [email protected]. Do not forget to attach a photocopy of your passport to the letter. This mailbox accepts various types of applications and letters, including complaints. Of course, this method of contacting the company is not the fastest, therefore, this method is not recommended to solve problems that require prompt intervention.

Visit to the "OnLime" office

How to return for repair or replace a device provided by the company

While surfing the Internet and watching TV, the subscriber may suddenly find that his set-top box or router has stopped working. This may be evidenced by the following factors:

• the device does not turn on;
• on the TV display, the same clips are constantly repeated in a circle;
• a message appears stating that the IP address is not working, there is no connection, or an error occurred while searching for the server;
• the image freezes, the sound is distorted;
• no signal.

The first step is to reboot the hardware. If this does not help, you should contact technical support at the above number - a master will come to your house. You can also visit the provider's office right away - take your device with you.

If the problem is really in the equipment, company representatives will take it for diagnostics. If possible, the device will be repaired. If the problems cannot be fixed, it will be replaced with a new one.

If you notice that your set-top box or router does not work well, contact technical support

An important point about paying for repair or replacement: if you use the device for less than a year (warranty period - 12 months), the company will cover all costs. If the warranty period has already expired, the user will be responsible for the repair or replacement. It is also worth considering that if the breakdown occurred due to the fault of the client (for example, the equipment fell earlier, there are physical defects on the surface), the repair will be paid by him, and not by the provider.

When replacing, when the warranty period expires, you can issue both a purchase (payment of the full cost of the equipment) and an installment plan. In the latter case, the provider will withdraw an additional amount from your account every month (70 - 150 rubles, depending on the device).
