How to know if a house is connected to the Internet

There are some simple methods to find out if a house is connected to the Internet at all:

1. If possible, ask your neighbors if they have Internet access and if so, what kind. If young people live in the house, most likely the network has been established. However, not only young people use the Internet now, so this is a minor sign.

2. Pay attention to the wires - network cables can be located both on the building and in the entrances. They are usually gray or white. If they are present, it means that they use the Internet at home.

   

   Carefully inspect the entrance and the house when you go outside - perhaps the Internet has already been connected to other apartments, which will be evidenced by network cables

3. Inspect the entryway for signs (doors, elevators, information boards, stairwell walls, etc.). Often for advertising purposes, providers post advertisements about their services and tariffs. Sometimes you can find leaflets in mailboxes with contacts of a particular provider, which are designed to attract more customers in this house.

How to check the Internet connectivity at

You can get information by calling different provider services or by viewing information on their official websites.

Call to the provider you are interested in

If you have not found any ads, leaflets, and you do not communicate with your neighbors or do not want to get acquainted yet, you will have to call the providers separately:

1. Use any search engine to create a list of popular providers in your city. Enter the word "Internet providers" in Yandex or Google and the name of your settlement - the results will show the official websites of companies operating in your city.

   

   In the search box, enter the name of the city and the word "Internet providers"

2. You can also use city forums to search. There you will also find reviews about the work of a particular company and form some kind of idea about each provider.

3. Write down the phone numbers that are indicated on the sites found. Start calling each service. During the conversation, first indicate the address and ask if it is possible to conduct the Internet to your apartment in this house. If the house was previously serviced, a fiber-optic cable was connected to it - in this case, it will not take much time to bring the Internet to your apartment and the provider will be happy to provide you with their services. Even if this provider has not yet been connected in your home, this does not mean that you will be refused - any provider will be happy to expand their coverage map.

   

   On the website of Internet providers you will find phones by which you have the right to clarify information regarding the possibility of connecting the Internet in your home

4. If you are given a positive answer, ask about tariffs, the cost of connecting and the Internet itself (monthly), as well as the timing of the installation of equipment.
5. Take your time to make a decision. Go through the list and determine the most profitable option, and only then agree on the arrival of specialists (date and time).

Through dedicated sites

On their sites, providers often publish not only tariffs, but also coverage maps. At most of them, you can also find out if it is currently possible to have the Internet in a particular house. Let's consider the procedure for obtaining such information using the example of the Beeline provider:

1. Go to the official Beeline resource. In the upper right corner, click on the "Check your connection address" link.

   

   On the official website of "Beeline" click on the link "Check the connection address"

2. Two fields will appear on the screen. Fill them in: enter the exact data (city, street, house).

   

   Enter city name, street and house number

3. As you enter, the addresses that are already connected to this provider will be displayed. Use these tips.

   

   Use the dropdown menu with hints

4. If the provider is connected in your home, after filling in the second field, a corresponding message will appear and a few more fields to fill out. Here you can order a call back: write your full name (this is how the operator will contact you), a valid contact phone number and the exact connection address (the line will already be filled in). Click on "Send". After a while you will be called back.

   

   If you wish, leave a request for a call back

5. If you do not want to wait for a call back, call the number indicated in the form yourself. You can preliminarily familiarize yourself with the tariffs of the company on the website to understand whether you want to connect it to the Internet or not. You have the right to ask the operator himself to tell you about the tariff plans.

Let's analyze another instruction using the example of the MTS home Internet provider:

1. Go to this official company page. Scroll down a little to the "Check connection" section.

   

   Find the section "Check connection" on the official website of MTS

2. First write the city and street on the first line. Use site hints.

   

   Enter the name of the street and city on the first line

3. After that, specify the house in the second line - a list of available houses will also appear.

   

   In the second line, enter the house number

4. After filling, the resource will automatically start searching. The ability to connect to the Internet at the entered address may require additional verification. The site will ask you to enter your full name and phone number, so that the specialist can contact you within an hour after the event. You may also see a notification on the screen that a provider is already serving your home. In this case, you will also be asked to fill out a callback form.

   

   If necessary, leave a request for a call - the operator will call you back and say if connection is possible in your house

Let's name a few more sites of popular Russian providers where you can check the connectivity: OnLime, Seven Sky, Netbynet, Smile, Morton Telecom.

How to find out from which provider the house is served at
