Rating of the best mobile and Internet operators

When choosing a mobile operator for mobile Internet, subscribers carefully study all offers, trying to find the most profitable and unlimited ones. But the tariff descriptions on the website are replete with pitfalls and subtleties that only specialists understand. We will not study the features of coverage areas and speeds (although we will briefly touch on this topic) - we will try to figure out which operator has the best mobile Internet.

When rating operators, we identified the main criteria:

• Unlimited availability for smartphones;
• Unlimited availability for tablets;
• Availability of unlimited modems and its cost;
• Possibility of traffic distribution;
• Availability of special offers for pensioners.

At the end of the article, we will give additional criteria that will help you understand the Internet on site, with an eye to the coverage area and quality of reception at a specific point.

Internet evaluation criteria

To carry out any analysis and comparison, it is necessary to build on certain criteria and parameters for the Internet. Let's look at them in more detail:

1. Traffic management. Any user should have at his disposal the means to control packets and gigabyte balances. This is usually implemented on the basis of a personal account on the company’s official website. In such a web space, characteristics, services and functions are checked, as well as their changes in real time.
2. Cost of one megabyte. The main criterion by which most subscribers choose one or another provider. Typically, this applies to tariff plans without a subscription fee with per-minute billing. Such names are present in every representative of the mobile communications industry.
3. Traffic bundle sizes. Contracts based on a monthly payment are delivered together with set volumes of free gigabytes. Dimensions that can reach unattainable heights for specific operators.
4. Implementation of renewal and addition of additional traffic packages. Without the ability to increase volumes, users may be left without an active connection until the end of the billing period.
5. Affiliate network applications. Unlimited communication on social networks. Most offers actively cooperate with well-known web services.
6. Signal coverage area. Not all companies can equally provide their services throughout the country.
7. Internet speed, availability of modern LTE transmission formats. Fast page loading is an important parameter. In 2021, almost every user should have access to the World Wide Web and master the 4g standard.

All of the above points fully describe the features of the Internet. Next, we will analyze the conditions of each specific provider in the Russian Federation.

If you call a lot to different numbers

It has long been possible to use instant messengers for calls, but those who have not yet switched to them continue to look for a phone number in their address book. If you need to communicate a lot, then it is most profitable to subscribe to the Beeline “All for 1800” tariff. The price includes 3,300 minutes of calls per month. If you do not use other services of the package, it turns out that every minute costs 0.54 ₽. The cost of one minute was more expensive than the others at Tele2 - 0.68 ₽, although the tariff itself is cheaper.

Reviews about mobile operators

At this point, we collected the general impression of users about operators, based on their publications on review aggregators, forums and social networks.

MTS

Users consider one of the main advantages of MTS to be the fact that it has good reception everywhere and allows you to call from almost anywhere in Russia. The signal does not disappear even outside of large cities, and directly on their territory it is consistently good everywhere. MTS is the most popular operator in the Russian Federation, with about 78 million users, according to whom it is the best telecom operator in the country.

MTS is often noticed to be cunning when announcing the terms of new tariffs, which have a large number of restrictions indicated in fine print. Users also complain about paid services being connected without the subscriber’s knowledge. However, the problem is not widespread and indignation is most often heard from subscribers who do not understand their tariffs.

More disadvantages that irritate users:

• It's hard to get through to Live Support.
• In salons, users who are far from technology are forced to use unnecessary services.

As for the rest, MTS fully justifies its leading position in the mobile communication services market. They have consistently high Internet speeds, good connections, and affordable tariffs.

Megaphone

MegaFon began installing 4G towers earlier than other competitors, which firmly secured its title as the operator with the fastest mobile Internet, and this is true. In addition, MegaFon’s personal account is a very convenient service that surpasses similar applications from other operators in functionality. However, the path to this miracle was thorny and long; MegaFon was previously famous for the anecdotal crookedness of its online services, and the work of USSD teams was far from ideal.

In terms of the frequency of imposing unnecessary services, MegaFon can be compared with MTS. However, inattentive subscribers who like to click anywhere and not read confirmation requests will suffer everywhere. Today, although MegaFon does not have the most favorable pricing policy, it provides consistently high quality communications and mobile Internet. It is noteworthy that the company is trying to retain customers who want to switch their number to other operators by offering them a 50% discount on popular tariffs.

Tele2

Tele2 entered the Russian market later than other operators, and therefore throughout its existence it was forced to play the role of catching up, which, in turn, turned out to be beneficial for subscribers. Despite the relatively small number of cellular towers, Tele2 has normal coverage in most large cities and regions of the Russian Federation, and also provides the most favorable tariff conditions and is distinguished by the highest loyalty to users.

Beeline

Beeline, once one of the most popular mobile operators, has been losing its popularity for several years in a row. Low Internet speed, mediocre communication quality, and less favorable tariffs compared to competitors have an impact. For almost all points of comparison, Beeline was in last place; today there is absolutely nothing to attract new clients from this company and now it is one of the least interesting options for connecting.

This is where the comparison comes to an end; let everyone draw their own conclusions, taking into account the needs, quality of communication and pricing policy of operators in your region. What do you think is the best mobile operator?

What does Yota have?

Yota is a subsidiary of Megafon, which stands out for its unlimited offers.

Has the following advantages:

1. High transfer speed.
2. No roaming when traveling around the country.
3. The ability to independently create your own tariff plan. Provide a list of applications for which traffic will not be charged; there are a significant number of them to choose from. For a low price you will get unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers.

Minuses:

1. Small coverage area. The company is very young and has not had time to expand into many regions.
2. Complete dependence on Megafon.

This cellular provider specializes in network resources. There are several standard contracts that the operator provides:

It is more profitable to collect a personal offer, taking into account your goals and requirements.

Beeline

The rating of the quality of communication of mobile operators in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other regions of our huge country is continued by Beeline, an international company serving 206 million subscribers living in 13 countries. In Russia, 57.5 million people use VimpelCom services. The brand offers low prices and a large selection of attractive tariff plans.

Pros:

• A large selection of tariffs, among which everyone can choose the best option for themselves at a reasonable price;
• Constant promotions and bonuses. Beeline regularly holds promotions that allow you to buy a smartphone on the most favorable terms, receive additional traffic for replenishment, and this is not all of the company’s auction offers;
• Good customer support. It is not always possible to reach the call center, but nevertheless, subscribers can count on a prompt and professional solution to their problems. In addition, your personal account and self-service mobile application are always available.

Minuses:

• Technical failures sometimes occur on the provider’s side, as evidenced by reviews on the Internet. It happens that it is even impossible to check your balance on your balance sheet. Problems are resolved quickly, but this is still an unpleasant moment;
• Expensive roaming. Outside your home region, communication costs will increase significantly;
• Poor connection quality far from major cities. The number of Beeline base stations is very limited and does not affect hard-to-reach areas, which is why the signal will weaken as you move away from the city.

What does Tele2 offer?

Tele2 is a good discounter. The main policy of this company is to make prices lower than those of competitors. An obvious drawback of the provider is the insignificant coverage of the territory of the Russian Federation. Offers are more suitable for use in one specific region. Relatively recently, the company has mastered the modern high-speed data transmission standard LTE. The frequency range may differ in each locality.

Let's look at the contracts that Tele2 offers in 2021:

In addition to the main TPs, users can activate renewal services or additional traffic packages at any time. The provider has developed a significant list of similar options, as well as applications that help save money (unlimited in Opera Mini, instant messengers, navigators). The maximum add-on size reaches 50 Gigabytes for only 999 rubles per billing period. On contracts with per-minute billing, the price for 1 MB varies around 1.50 rubles.
