Home Internet and TV services from Rostelecom

The two main directions in which Rostelecom is developing are the Internet and television. When connecting to the Internet, the company offers several tariffs to choose from. Their cost will differ depending on the region of Russia, so the prices below are approximate. Some of the packages may not be available in a particular city or region. Let's start looking at:

1. For speed. It can only be connected by new subscribers who have not previously used any of Rostelecom's services. The package includes a speed of 100 MB / s, as well as a free installation of Kaspersky Internet Security antivirus with a license for two devices. At the same time, the company can provide a router for rent for 30 rubles / month. The package price is 450 rubles. / month

2. "For the Internet." For this tariff, the speed is already lower - 50 MB / s. Nevertheless, the price is practically the same - about 500 rubles. / month There is also a free Kaspersky Anti-Virus for two devices. The advantage of the package is that you get as a bonus the connection of the "TV-online" service - you can watch 101 channels for free on a PC or mobile device in good quality, using your Internet and a special application.

   

   The minimum price for Internet services is 450 rubles

3. "For the Internet everywhere." If you are used to surfing the Internet anytime, anywhere, wherever you are, this tariff will suit you best. It offers a home connection to the network at a speed of 100 MB / s, as well as free mobile Internet - a SIM card for 5 GB of traffic is provided, which you can use for a month. Plus, you can send 50 SMS per month for free and talk for 200 minutes on the phone. Free use of Yandex. Disk (5 GB) is added to the services of "TV-online" and the installation of "Kaspersky". The package price is about 600 - 700 rubles.

4. "For peace of mind." A feature of this package is the availability of a service for video surveillance in the house - access to the platform (the service itself in the form of an application) and a camera are provided. The rest of the tariff is similar to the "For the Internet" package - free online TV and antivirus.

   

   Some plans offer additional functions: options in popular games, video surveillance, or almost unlimited use of Yandex. Disk

5. "Game". The package is designed for those who like to spend time playing various popular games - the package offers exclusive options in such online services as Wargaming, Warface and Fogame. In addition to anti-virus software and the "TV-online" option, you will get a very fast connection - 200 MB / s, which is important for gamers. The cost of the tariff is about 900 rubles.
6. "Cloudy". As the name implies, the tariff is intended for people who store all data in cloud services. Subscribers with such a package are given the opportunity to use Yandex. Disk on an almost unlimited basis (every month, 1 TB of cloud storage is added to the volume). The connection speed here is 100 MB / s. Traditionally, the provider has added free online TV and Kaspersky to two devices. The cost of a set of services is the same as for the previous package - about 900 rubles.

Subscribers wishing to activate the Interactive TV service can choose one of the following packages:

1. "Starting". This basic set includes 159 channels of various directions - cognitive, sports, on-air, entertainment, music and others. The cost is a little more than 300 rubles per month. Again, it may differ depending on the region.

2. "Optimal". Several more are added to the basic set of TV channels - a total of 188 channels are released. The company recommends the package for family use. The cost is slightly higher than the previous one - about 400 rubles.

   

   The most budgetary tariff will include 159 channels - it costs about 300 rubles per month

3. "Advanced". More movie channels are included in this bundle, so it is suitable for people who like to watch movies and series on TV. The cost is about 600 rubles.
4. "Maximum". This package contains the maximum number of channels - 262 pieces, including channels in HD. However, it costs three times more than the "Advanced" - 1800 rubles.
5. "Premier". This set includes channels that show new and popular foreign films and series from the VIP, VIP Play and Amediateka Home of HBO collections. Here the number of channels is minimal - 65 pieces. The cost is about 600 rubles.

Regardless of which channel package you choose, the company will provide you with a TV set-top box with a remote control for a small rental fee - 99 rubles / month. You can also buy it immediately - for 3600 rubles.

In regional centers and large cities, Rostelecom offers packages that include both the Internet and the Interactive TV service:

Problems with the Internet and other services from Rostelecom

What problems may arise with the services provided by Rostelecom, and what should be done to eliminate the problem?

Low internet speed

Internet speed may decrease in the evening, when more people are using the network than during the day. Servers may not be able to cope with the flow of requests from users. This problem is indeed often observed with the Internet from Rostelecom, but not in all regions and not among all users.

Low Internet speed from Rostelecom can be observed in the evening, when the load on the servers is too high

If the speed is slow even during the day, you can make a call to the support service - wait for the switch to the operator (the answering machine will speak first), and then explain your problem. You will be helped to solve it remotely by phone. If you need a specialist home visit, you can agree on a convenient day and time. Perhaps it's not the speed of the internet, but the poor performance of your PC. In this case, it is recommended to clear the browser cache, delete the "junk" system files and update the "operating system" if necessary.

Lack of internet

The lack of connection can be explained in different ways. Problems can be both on the side of the provider and on the side of the subscriber.

The Internet from Rostelecom may sometimes be absent if, for example, repair work is underway on the line

First of all, exclude the reasons on your part:

1. Check the account in your personal account - if there are not enough funds on it, the provider has the right to restrict access to the network.
2. Reboot all equipment, check all physical cable connections to the device for damage.
3. Try to solve the problem with the built-in Windows Network Troubleshooter.
4. Set the correct network settings.
5. Update or reinstall the network card drivers.
6. Check your PC for viruses.

In most cases, however, the Internet from Rostelecom may be absent due to the “fault” of the provider, but for reasons beyond its control. For example, repair work may be carried out on the line. Call support - you will be informed when the work is completed and you can again access the Internet.

Interference with TV picture transmission

Digital TV transmissions can be prone to interruptions. The result of such failures is interference when displaying a "picture" - the image freezes for a few seconds and then recovers. Such a problem can arise from time to time with any provider, for example, with Tricolor.

If interference occurs frequently in TV screening, please contact technical support or the nearest office of the company for specialists to fix the problem.

If picture problems appear frequently, try restarting your TV set-top box with router. If you have a wireless TV, connect the set-top box to the network not via Wi-Fi, but directly. Also remember that Rostelecom is not responsible for the quality of the "picture" of channels of other providers.

Incorrect equipment operation

Not only poor signal transmission can fail, but also the equipment itself, in particular, a TV set-top box. It can work slowly, freeze. In this case, a reboot is also required. The rate of such freezes is once a month. If this happens every day, then the equipment is out of order - it needs to be replaced or repaired.

Rostelecom equipment can sometimes fail - in this case, it needs to be repaired or replaced

If the equipment was leased from Rostelecom, you must take it to the nearest office of the company - you can find the address on the official website of the provider, which we indicated above in this article.

Reviews of home Internet and television from Rostelecom

Rostelecom provides Internet and digital television services with multiple channels. The user can choose both a budget plan and a package at a high price, but with additional offers (video surveillance, game options, etc.). You can leave a request for connection through the website, personal account and by phone. The company has its own help desks and technical support, which will always help to solve a problem with TV or the Internet.
