The telecommunications company MGTS (stands for the Moscow State Telephone Network) is a subsidiary of the famous Russian operator MTS. This branch of the company is needed to service customers of Moscow landline telephones. However, with time, the improvement of communication technology and the advent of the Internet, accessible to many citizens, the company’s emphasis changed in a different direction. Now MGTS is a full-fledged telecom operator, the list of services of which also includes home Internet.
MGTS tariffs for home Internet
The company gives customers the right to choose their tariff plan. An MGTS subscriber can connect to one of the provider’s nameless tariffs, which differ from each other in cost and speed of traffic provided:
- 200 Mbit/s for 499 rubles per month;
- 350 Mbit/s costing 699 rubles;
- 500 Mbit/s, which will cost the user 999 rubles;
- 1000 Mbit/s with a monthly subscription fee of 1499 rubles.
It is worth noting that MGTS operates only in Moscow and the Moscow region. Therefore, users living outside the agreed territory will not be able to become their clients and connect to their home Internet.
However, in addition to standard home Internet tariffs, MGTS provides its users with special “service packages”. The essence of this proposal is to combine several types of communications offered by the operator. That is, there are tariffs that provide subscribers not only with an Internet connection, but also with television broadcasting or mobile communications from MGTS.
Tariffs for Internet + TV MGTS
The provider’s main offer in the “service package” section is an Internet and television connection. It would seem that combining network connection and television broadcasting is not new for home Internet tariff plans. Since many companies, in addition to access to the World Wide Web, provide their users with the usual IPTV function as a bonus. MGTS also uses this type of television broadcasting. This operator provides its customers with special set-top boxes that format incoming images in HD digital quality. This is a nice bonus that not every telecommunications company can boast of.
The combination of Internet and television is the basis for any package of operator services, but you can get these types of communications without additional options only using the “Basic” tariff plan.
"Base"
This tariff consists of two main components:
- home Internet;
- IPTV television.
The connection speed is the minimum available from MGTS and is 200 megabits per second. This Internet is perfect for home use in an apartment, for watching movies, web pages and studying.
“Basic” is the standard of television services provided by the company. TP consists of more than a hundred available TV channels, which are divided into the following groups:
- public channels - the main TV channels of Russia, such as Russia 1, Channel One, NTV, STS, TNT and others;
- HDTV - TV shows in the highest digital HD quality;
- “Cinema” is a section containing channels related to a specific type of cinema;
- educational - a list of popular scientific programs for the whole family;
- music - popular clips for MGTS users;
- children's TV channels for the youngest viewers;
- sports - a group of channels broadcasting sporting events around the world;
- news - information broadcasts;
- entertainment - popular youth TV channels.
The monthly subscription fee will cost the user of the basic tariff 649 rubles. The price for the services provided is acceptable, because it is in the same category as the cost of similar tariff plans from other providers.
Digital television from MGTS - how it works and connection diagram
Would you like to connect to MGTS television? Then you need to contact the provider directly. The indoor network is created according to the following scheme:
Important! The wiring diagram in your home may differ from the one shown. Specialists independently select the appropriate option for creating a network, depending on the available technical capabilities.
How the whole procedure is carried out:
- Initially, you need to visit the official website and select a suitable package with the optimal number of channels.
- Leave a request by filling out the form on the portal.
- Wait for a call from a specialist.
- The employee will coordinate all the details.
- A technician will come to you with a cable and equipment.
- The specialist will connect your home television and set up your TV.
- You can start using the services, but do not forget to top up your account.
Equipment and principle of connecting a TV
The TV itself is directly connected via a set-top box. It receives the signal from the cable and processes it. Without a set-top box it is impossible to use home television. Luckily, it's now available for free rental for new customers.
Tariffs for Internet + TV + mobile phone MGTS
In addition to the package of services with home Internet and IPTV television, there are also tariff plans that contain additional mobile communications. The MGTS company recently became a cellular operator, and thus the company is trying to find a new customer base in the telephony field.
Tariffs offering users home Internet, television and mobile communications include:
- "Smart Mini + Basic";
- “Smart NonStop Unlimed” + Basic.”
These tariff plans provide the user with all available communication services of the telecommunications company, in addition to landline telephony. In addition, it is worth noting the convenience of paying a monthly subscription fee. For all three services of MGTS you will have to pay only one amount.
"Smart Mini + Basic"
Home Internet in this tariff is 200 Mbit per second. Also, upon connection, the company provides its users with a Wi-Fi router.
In addition to connecting to the global network, MGTS subscribers will also have access to “Smart Mini” and “Basic” television broadcasting with a standard set of TV channels.
The cost of this service package is 849 rubles per month. This is 27% cheaper than connecting to the operator for all types of communication provided by the tariff plan separately.
"Smart NonStop Unlim + Basic"
This tariff plan contains the same speed of 200 Megabits per second as in the above service package. As well as the same groups of TV channels from the IPTV “Basic” package along with a set-top box for digital quality in HD format.
However, instead of “Smart Mini”, the user receives a mobile tariff plan “Smart NonStop Unlimited” with more profitable unlimited traffic.
The monthly subscription fee will cost the user of this service package 1099 rubles. Which is higher than a similar package of services from the same company, but still 22% cheaper than taking the same types of communication separately.
Why might the set-top box not work?
If you have problems with the operation of the set-top box, it is best to immediately call the hotline. The operator will switch to a specialist or give advice on correcting the error.
If a message appears stating that the network address has not been obtained, you need to check the connections of all cables; most likely, one of them is connected incorrectly.
If the picture is scattered or loaded with a delay, then this is usually a consequence of the functioning of multiroom, when several TVs simultaneously operate from one set-top box. It is necessary to disable the unnecessary ones. Sometimes a similar problem occurs when connecting via a PLC adapter; here, only contacting the contact center will help.
If the sound suddenly disappears, it is possible that the connection between the TV and the set-top box has been lost. All cables should be checked.
When choosing a set-top box for your TV, reviews play an important role. Users can often report various problems. So, you can find out that when connecting via ADSL, a large number of HD channels do not work, and this is a common problem that MGTS operators often do not warn about.
If, when switching to any channels, the set-top box asks for a PIN code, then the highest level of parental control has been set - 0+; you should increase it to remove requests.
Tariffs for Internet + mobile phone MGTS
If the client does not need television broadcasting, MGTS has prepared tariff plans exclusively for home Internet and mobile communications. These service packages provide the user with a standard connection to the World Wide Web and two mobile tariffs to choose from: “Smart Mini” and “Smart NonStop Unlim”.
"Smart Mini"
This TP consists of two types of communication. The first is basic home Internet from MGTS. The connection speed will be 200 megabits per second. The second is mobile communications at the “Smart Mini” tariff, which allows you to use cellular services according to the traffic provided.
To use the services provided, MGTS subscribers will have to pay an amount equal to 649 rubles per month. A separate connection for these types of communications will cost the user 899 rubles.
"Smart NonStop Unlim"
The Internet connection will not differ from the above-described analogue of this type of service package. The reception speed is 200 Megabits per second, and the user is also provided with a free Wi-Fi router.
The main difference lies in the different mobile tariff plans. “Smart NonStop Unlim”, unlike “Smart Mini”, has no traffic restrictions, and also has many useful additional options.
The subscription fee that you will have to pay for home Internet and mobile communications will be 999 rubles per month. The discount from connecting services in the package is 13% of the cost.
MGTS tariffs for cellular communications
Mobile communications are an invariable component of many service packages containing home Internet. However, the telecommunications company provides its users with the option to connect exclusively to cellular communications.
You can switch to MGTS tariff plans while keeping your old phone number.
Basic tariffs of the mobile operator MGTS:
- "Smart Mini";
- "Smart NonStop Unlim";
- "Smart Modem".
You should analyze each tariff in detail and understand the relevance of connecting a mobile connection outside of the service package with home Internet.
"Smart Mini"
“Smart Mini” is a starting mobile communication tariff plan from MGTS. The tariff consists of packages with traffic of different types of communication, which a subscriber can spend per month.
The user is provided with 350 minutes of communication to all numbers in Russia, 350 text messages, 2 GB of Internet traffic. If the data package runs out, then payment occurs at the specified rate:
- 1 ruble 50 kopecks costs a minute of a voice call to the number of another operator within the Moscow region;
- A call to another mobile operator outside your home region will cost 3 rubles;
- The cost of a text message will be 50 kopecks;
- When Internet traffic is fully used, an additional data package is taken.
Incoming and outgoing calls to all mobile numbers of MGTS and MTS in Moscow and the Moscow region are free.
You can also connect an additional one to the “Smart Mini” tariff. This option is provided to allow MGTS clients to use Internet traffic outside the Russian Federation.
The monthly subscription payment will be 400 rubles. This amount is significantly higher than similar tariffs from other operators. However, if you connect not a tariff plan, but a package of services that includes this mobile connection, then the monthly fee will be reduced to 300 rubles. Which is slightly lower than the approximate cost of services from other mobile operators.
"Smart NonStop Unlim"
“Smart NonStop Unlim” is actually not a tariff with unlimited Internet, as MGTS positions it.
This tariff initially includes the “Lots of Internet” option, which provides unlimited Internet to the subscriber. If you disable this function, the tariff will switch to packet traffic of 20 GB of data.
Also, the user of “Smart NonStop Unlim” receives 500 minutes of voice calls and 500 text messages to the numbers of all operators in Russia.
The great advantage of this TP is that this package of services provides some additional options from MTS. For example, you can connect the “Foreign” function to the “Smart NonStop Unlim” number. This additional service allows you to use the standard traffic package of the user’s tariff plan outside the Russian Federation.
The cost of the subscription fee, which the user will pay every month, is 650 rubles per month. However, when choosing a package of services with this tariff plan, the monthly payment will be equal to the amount of 550 rubles.
"Smart Modem"
“Smart Modem” is a tariff created to distribute traffic to other devices. Using this tariff plan, the user can turn his mobile device into a Wi-Fi signal distribution point and share unlimited Internet at speeds of up to 4 Mbit per second.
Voice calls to all outgoing numbers cost 5 rubles, and SMS – 2 rubles 50 kopecks.
The monthly subscription fee for using the tariff plan is 800 rubles. But if the subscriber is a user of home Internet from MGTS, then this amount will be reduced to 700 rubles.
List of channels (Moscow and Moscow region)
In Moscow and Moscow Region you can choose one of 2 TV channel packages: Basic or Nothing Extra. Each of these basic packages can be connected to additional channels (Personal TV) or paid channel packages.

Additional Internet traffic packages
Additional Internet traffic packages will be needed only by owners of the “Smart Mini” tariff and can only be obtained in this tariff plan. To do this, you do not need to dial short numbers; the function is activated automatically when the monthly data provided runs out. The cost of one additional package is 50 rubles.
Therefore, it is worth paying closer attention to the remaining traffic so that it does not add unwanted Megabytes of data. You can completely disable the function by calling *111*986*2#.
If your monthly Internet traffic consumption exceeds 5 gigabytes, then you should think about switching to the “Smart NonStop Unlim” tariff. Since for the same money spent you can get unlimited access to the World Wide Web from additional packages.
