Reviews of Rostelecom communications
I have been using a home phone from Rostelecom for many years. Lately the quality has improved significantly. It is obvious that the company is working on this. In addition, I got the Internet from them. Everything makes me happy too. The speed is on point. (Dmitriy).
I recently installed a home phone from Rostelecom, because without it there was no way to connect to the Internet. The connection quality is good, and they don’t notice any problems with it at all. The Internet also works like a clock. (Alexei)
I use all products from Rostelecom: cell phone, home phone, Internet and interactive television. It’s convenient that you can pay everything in one place at once. The quality of communication is quite good, but television and the Internet sometimes suffer due to the quality of the line. But in our village no one offers the best. In general, everything is quite at the level. (Nikolai).
