You can work remotely not only from home. If you want to feel free, you will need reliable mobile Internet. What do our operators offer? We studied their tariffs for laptops and modems in the Moscow region. Just in case, we remind you: you should not rely only on the speeds indicated in the tariff. Pay attention to which operator’s signal you have is stronger and more stable. If the signal is weak and periodically disappears, no matter what super speed the operator offers in the tariff, you will never see it.
So now to the suggestions.
Internet tariffs for modem from Beeline
Internet PRO+
- cost: 900 rub./month
- included traffic: 100 GB
- (from 01:00 to 07:59 traffic is not consumed)
Although the tariff is not unlimited, the traffic volume is enough not only for work, but also for watching movies in good quality. If you need to download large archives, it is better to do it at night: traffic from 01:00 to 07:59 is not charged. An important point: you can link 4 more SIM cards to the tariff plan, which will use the same Internet package. That is, Internet PRO+ is suitable for use by the whole family. True, calls are not included in it - only for an additional fee.
Close people 3
- cost: 900 rub./month
- unlimited traffic
- connection up to 3 SIM cards
And this is an unlimited tariff, and it works both on a smartphone (can be distributed) and on modems/laptops. As in the previous one, you can connect additional SIM cards, but only 2 and for a fee (9 rubles per day). But the package also includes 1300 minutes of voice communication. You can also connect to ViP Play in the Beeline TV service - two months free, then 7 rubles. per day. We did not find information about the speed limit in the tariff description.
Weekend internet
- cost: 70 rub./day
- unlimited traffic
- unlimited speed
An ideal option for those who do not need mobile Internet access on a regular basis. For example, if you go to a dacha or a country house, and you only need 4G Internet on these days. The speed will be maximum, the cost is debited for each day upon Internet use. If you do not have a 4G modem, Beeline offers to purchase a device (Joy's D20 White with a reception speed of up to 150 Mbit/s for 1990 rubles) and receive one month of unlimited Internet as a gift.

What does Internet speed depend on and how to measure it
How to enable 4G+
The function will turn on automatically if the operator has frequency channels , permission and equipment for the work. It often happens that there is not enough power for all subscribers. It is also important to know whether your smartphone supports this technology, as well as the frequency bands on which 4G+ operates. By the way: the operation of mobile stations is absolutely harmless!
Does 4G+ work for you?
Some inexpensive smartphones only work with one band. 4G+ only works if the smartphone receives both bands, for example, 2600 MHz and 1800 MHz. If it receives only one of the bands, being at the edge of the cell, then only regular LTE will work. Does your smartphone support 4G+? Tell us about it in our Telegram chat.
Internet tariffs for modem from MTS
For laptop
- cost: 850 rub. (for new subscribers - 590 rubles for the first three months)
- unlimited traffic
- speed: up to 20 Mbit/s
For existing subscribers, when switching to a tariff, the discount does not apply, and you will immediately have to pay the full price - 850 rubles. For this money you get a fairly “fast” unlimited Internet. If you need to speed up, you can remove speed restrictions by entering the USSD request: *111*1637#. This service costs 100 rubles/month. If you need to quickly download a large file or upload a video in 4K, there is a “Turbo” function: “Maximum speed for 3 hours” or “Maximum speed for 6 hours” - 99 rubles. and 160 rub. respectively. This feature puts your modem into high priority mode so that the speed will actually be as fast as possible.
The tariff plan also includes a subscription to the KION online cinema - 150 channels, thousands of TV series and films. There is no need to pay anything extra.
All MTS. Full House Unlimited
- cost: 0 rub.
- unlimited traffic
- only offered as a package
Conditionally free plan for modem and laptops. Valid only within the “All MTS” package. Full House" for 1090 rubles. It includes a SIM card for mobile communications, a SIM card for a modem with unlimited Internet, KION online cinema and satellite TV. The modem and TV equipment must be purchased separately. The offer is not bad, but it is not suitable for everyone.
- A push-button smartphone with Android and the ability to distribute mobile Internet costs only 2,200 rubles.
What is traffic
Traffic is the amount of information that a mobile phone sends and receives from the Internet. Traffic can be measured in packets, bits, or bytes. But in phones, bytes and their derivatives (kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes) are usually used as a unit of measurement. Traffic counting is necessary so that the user can control his Internet expenses.
When traffic is counted, it is usually divided into several types. This can be incoming, outgoing, internal or external traffic. But the phone usually doesn’t have such detailed statistics about traffic usage. Instead, the phone simply shows the total amount of data that has been used over a period of time. In some cases, separate counts may be kept for mobile Internet (traffic transmitted via cellular communications) and Wi-Fi.
If necessary, traffic counting can be organized on any device that is connected to the network or the Internet. For example, if you need to count traffic on a computer with a Windows operating system, then you can use the following programs: TMeter, NetWorx, BWMeter or DU Meter.
Internet tariffs for modem from Megafon
Rock it! Easily
- cost: 700 rub. per month
- included traffic: unlimited
- speed: up to 25 Mbit/s
A good offer - the speed is high, the traffic is not limited, and the price is not so high. You can even rent a modem - however, for an additional fee of 200 rubles. per month.
Rock it! Any time
- cost: 70 rub. in a day
- unlimited traffic
- speed is not limited
Almost the same as “Weekend Internet” from BeeLine. If you need internet for a day, you pay 70 rubles. and use it unlimitedly. If you don't use it, you don't pay. In addition to traffic, Megafon offers 50 TV channels and 100 GB of cloud space.
Rock it! To the fullest
- cost: 1200 rub. per month
- unlimited traffic
- speed is not limited
The main difference from the similar tariff “Download! Easy” - no speed limit and VIP status. The operator explains the status: these are direct calls to support (you don’t have to wait in line), the average speed is 30% higher, queue-free service in Megafon stores and special discounts on other devices.
The tariff also includes Megafon TV and 1 TB of cloud storage. If necessary, a modem can be rented for 100 rubles. per month.
How to disable 4G data transmission
If a subscriber does not use mobile Internet, but some amounts disappear from his account, you need to check whether the passive mode of operation of 4G networks is activated by looking at the “Mobile data” column in the smartphone settings.
Those who do not plan to use the mobile Internet for some time or at all should immediately disable the data option.
To do this you should:
- Open the mobile device settings menu.
- Select the section relating to the Internet and mobile networks.
- Go into it and look for a box that says “mobile Internet” or “mobile data transfer” - this may vary depending on the version of the operating system.
- Deactivate this option.
Once the data function is disabled, further charges for using 4G traffic will disappear.
Internet tariffs for modem from Tele 2
Tele 2's tariffs are traditionally low, although it is not so easy to immediately understand which tariff is best for a modem or laptop. In the corresponding section on the site there is only one option (“Internet for devices”), but this does not mean that it is the only one.
Internet for devices
- cost: 1300 rub. per month
- included traffic: unlimited
- 40 GB at maximum speed
For an impressive amount compared to competitors, you get unlimited Internet, but only the first 40 GB without a speed limit. Then the speed drops to 4 Mbit/s. We did not find any special bonuses that justify such a high cost of the tariff. Therefore, for those who do not download movies for days, we can recommend options with limited traffic.
My online
- cost: 400 rub. per month
- included traffic: 15 GB (+15 GB for promotion)
Strictly speaking, this is a tariff for a smartphone - that’s how it is presented on the website. But in fact, it will also work in a modem - this was confirmed to us at the communication shop. Traffic is limited, 15 GB per month, but if you connect before September 30, the volume doubles, forever. A small nuance: if your balance ever goes negative, the carriage will turn into an additional 15 GB and disappear.
However, for typical office work, 15 GB is quite enough. So “My Online” may become the cheapest Internet tariff for laptops and routers - at least we haven’t found a cheaper one.

Operators offer a variety of tariffs for Internet access: You can choose unlimited tariff plans or per megabyte tariffs. Some of the most profitable LTE 4G tariffs are tariffs from two brands that belong to Megafon - YOTA and WiFire (NetByNet) - tariff plans from these operators are almost analogous to the tariffs of wireline operators, and with the help of stationary routers, modems or mobile routers you can Internet in any room. Having the widest LTE 4G coverage in Moscow and the Moscow region, Megafon has recently offered its subscribers some of the best tariffs for high-speed wireless Internet access.
Tariffs for mobile Internet for use with USB modems and WiFi routers are not very different for all operators, but with some nuances. MTS, Megafon and Beeline, as leading market players, have almost identical tariffs, while Tele2, which entered the market last and is declared as a discounter, currently offers only one tariff (as of 10.25.15), but is slightly cheaper than the others, and 2 Megafon projects - Yota and WiFire - offer truly unlimited Internet, but limited in speed. Let's take a closer look at what tariff plans our mobile operators offer for use with modems: it should be noted that we will compare tariffs in the Moscow region, which are offered to individuals at the official level, that is, the so-called. We will not consider “corporate” tariffs, many of which have truly unlimited monthly traffic, but are inaccessible and/or unknown to most users. The largest lines of tariff plans are those of Megafon and Yota, which belongs to the same Megafon, the smallest are those of Beeline and MTS (not counting Tele2, which generally has 1 tariff). So, let's start: 1-2 GB per month - Megafon - 150-200 rubles / month. 3 GB per month - Megafon and MTS - 350 rub./month. For almost the same money (400 rubles), YOTA and WiFire offer unlimited Internet at speeds of 0.5 Mbit/s and 1 Mbit/s, respectively - it is impossible to adequately use the Internet at these speeds. 8 GB per month - Megafon and Beeline - 600 rub./month. — it should be noted that for 600 rubles. per month Beeline gives 8 GB per day, while Megafon - 8 GB during the day + 8 GB at night, i.e. 16 GB per day Tele2 offers almost the same amount of traffic (7 GB) for 300 rubles. , which is the best price offer for a given volume. It is useful to know that 7-8 GB is enough for 2 people to work for 20 working days, but without much luxury (social networks, watching videos on Youtube and photos on Instagram), if you want not only to work, but also sometimes relax on the Internet, it is better to provide yourself with more traffic (see below). For the same 600 rubles. YOTA offers unlimited Internet at a speed of 1 Mbit/sec - the speed also does not allow adequate work on the Internet, WiFire offers unlimited Internet at a speed of 4 Mbit/sec - a speed that allows you to work without problems, but does not yet allow trouble-free viewing of multimedia: online video does not Look, sites with a large number of photos will take a long time to load. 12 GB per month - MTS and Beeline - 700 rub./month. — it should be noted that for 700 rubles. per month Beeline gives 12 GB per day, while MTS - 12 GB during the day + 12 GB at night, i.e. only 24 GB per day 18-20 GB - Megafon and Beeline, respectively - 890 and 1200 rubles. accordingly, the tariff from Megafon is really good, but from Beeline - not so much: for the same money Megafon and MTS offer 1.5 times more traffic (see below) For 900 rubles. YOTA offers an unlimited tariff at a speed of 5.7 Mbit/sec - a speed that allows you to work without problems, but does not yet allow trouble-free viewing of multimedia: you can’t watch videos online, and sites with a large number of photos will take a long time to load, but WiFire is unlimited Internet at maximum speed - 20 Mbit/sec , which allows you to work and watch videos without any problems. 30 GB - Megafon and MTS - 1300 rub. and 1200 rub. accordingly - maximum tariffs, which have a very nice bonus - unlimited Internet at night. It must be remembered that YOTA and WiFire have only 4G tariffs, i.e. You will be able to use the Internet where there is LTE coverage, but where there is only 3G coverage, which is many times superior to 4G, you will not have the Internet at all, so it is always better to have a backup card from an operator that provides data services in both 4G and 3G .

Internet tariffs for modem from Yota
Yota's tariff system is, in our opinion, the simplest and most understandable. All tariffs are unlimited, their cost depends on the speed and validity period. For example, there are these options:
- 24 hours - 75 rub.
- 72 hours - 150 rub. 30 days:
- 600 rub. (limit – 3 Mbit/s)
- 800 rub. (limit – 10 Mbit/s)
- 1000 rub. (limit – 15 Mbit/s)
- 1200 rub. (limit – 20 Mbit/s)
- 1400 rub. (no speed limits) 365 days:
- 5400 rub. (limit – 10 Mbit/s)
- 6900 rub. (limit – 20 Mbit/s)
- 9000 rub. (no speed restrictions)
Internet from Yota may be the most affordable: for example, if you pay 5,400 rubles for a year at once. (the speed will be enough for both work and watching movies in HD quality), a month of unlimited Internet will cost you 450 rubles. Almost half the price than other operators and the same Yota with a monthly payment.
Internet access will remain even with a zero balance (with a speed limit of up to 64 Kbps). The operator offers a free test drive: you can take the modem home and use it for up to 7 days. Moreover, the connection speed will be the maximum possible.
Mobile Internet for phone

- “Internet Mini” - 7 GB per phone for 500 rubles per month. When the quota is exhausted, the user can spend 500 MB in excess of the package, and so on 15 times per month. You can connect the Internet service 15 times, they will cost 75 rubles each. Disable: *111*160*2# / Personal account.

- “Internet Maxi” - 15 GB during the day and unlimited Internet at night for 800 rubles. In excess of the quota, an additional 1 GB is connected, the service is available no more than 15 times a month. The cost of an additional gigabyte is 150 rubles. Disable: *111*161*2# / Personal account.
When watching television on a mobile phone within the Internet-Maxi framework, traffic is not consumed.
- “Internet VIP” - 30 GB during the day and unlimited at night for 1200 rubles. Upon exhaustion of the main package, 3 additional gigabytes of traffic are provided, they cost 350 rubles. However, the subscriber may refuse this service. Disable: *111*166*2# /Personal account.
The above Internet options Mini, Maxi and VIP are valid throughout Russia. When using outside the home region, in this case Moscow and the Moscow region, an option fee of 50 rubles per day is charged. You can also set up automatic payment.
Together with the option, you can connect, which will allow you to simultaneously use one Internet package on different devices.
You can add up to five members to a group. All of them must be subscribers of the same region.
What are the best internet rates?
If the Internet is not always needed: “Download! At any time" from Megafon or "Weekend Internet" from BeeLine. The cost is the same - 70 rubles per day.
If you don’t need a lot of traffic : “My online” from Tele 2: only 400 rubles. for 15 GB (or 30, if you manage to connect in September 2021"
If you need unlimited : “Pump up! Easy" from Megafon (RUB 700) or Yota with a limit of 10 Mbit/s, which is easy to change if necessary.

The BIT series has become very popular in 2021 among users, especially in cases where the Internet is not needed all the time, but for a specific period of time, and there is simply no point in paying for a larger volume.
MTS subscribers traveling to Crimea can also easily use communications under intranet roaming conditions in Russia, while the standard price for 1 MB will be 9.9 rubles. For those who want to save on mobile Internet while in Crimea, you can activate the “Everywhere at home” option and use the same tariff conditions as at home.
