Results

For tablets, the new tariffs are more attractive than their previous versions due to unlimited services, but with some amendments:

The cheap option “Internet Tablet XS” for 190 rubles per month is closed for connections and sent to the archive under the name “Internet Tablet XS 2018”.
The cheapest Internet option has increased in price by 50 rubles per month.

Another mobile operator is undercutting cheap tariffs/options, offering more expensive versions in return.

For users of the Megafon mobile Internet on smartphones, there is little pleasant, or, to be more precise, nothing. If only one of the tariffs somehow appeals to you... And don’t forget about intranet roaming for the “Internet S” option.

For modem users, the news is good only if you often use cloud storage and handle files of considerable size. Otherwise, nothing meaningful awaits you. And if you used the “Internet S” option, then now you are sitting on the archived “Internet S 2018”, since “Internet S” is no longer available for modems.

Roaming

But here Megafon cheated again. Previously, Internet options worked when traveling around Russia with the exception of the Taimyr MR and the city of Norilsk, Magadan region, Kamchatka Territory, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Sakhalin region, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, where mobile Internet is paid for terms of the subscriber's tariff plan. Now only the Internet options “Internet M”, “Internet L” and “Internet XL” can boast such conditions. The “Internet S” option works when traveling around Russia under the same conditions only on a tablet, but on a smartphone the option works exclusively in the home region, and when traveling around Russia, payments for mobile Internet are charged according to the terms of the tariff plan. Be careful!
