The majority of Russian residents have free access to the World Wide Web through their home connection and quietly enjoy the benefits of civilization using their PCs. But there are situations when a person cannot feel the comfort of a high-speed Internet connection from a cable.
There may be two reasons:
- Lack of wired Internet coverage as such in the locality where the user lives;
- Inability to connect to your home network due to current circumstances: traveling around the country or a business trip for work.
The MTS “For Laptop” tariff is perfect for freelancers who work away from home, as well as for those who like to travel around the country.
Why a laptop with 3G is convenient
Mobile Internet installed on a smartphone, of course, gives the user some access to information on the network. But using a smartphone is difficult. You can’t complete an order to write text even on a flagship device. After all, the number of typos, finger and eye fatigue from a small screen will force you to abandon such an undertaking.
It is also impossible to watch the film. It’s inconvenient, and mobile Internet is limited in terms of package size, which means you should think about another solution to the problem.
A laptop is compact and convenient, with which you can work and relax. The keyboard makes it possible to do typing work almost anywhere, because it does not require a constant connection to the power supply.

But now this offering is practically the only one in its class, and technical services are working hard to fix problems.
Pros and cons of the proposal
This tariff plan has several important advantages that distinguish it from other offers for 4G modems.
