How and how much does it cost to install Rostelecom Internet in a private home

The Rostelecom company offers its clients the following services for connecting a network to a private home:

• fiber optic communications;
• satellite Internet to a private home from Rostelecom;
• using your home phone network;
• via a fixed wireless connection point (Wi-Fi).

However, Rostelecom no longer provides satellite Internet services. This service is provided by their subsidiary, RTKOMM.RU, which, in turn, created its own satellite communications operator SENSAT.

This connection method should be chosen only if the private home is remote from other types of communication. Since installing satellite Internet will cost the user from 30,000 to 50,000 thousand rubles.

Moreover, the speed provided by the operator is limited and cannot be compared with analogues. Therefore, it is worth considering other options for how to connect the Internet at home.

Optical fiber (PON)

Conducting the Internet through a fiber optic cable to a private home is one of the most acceptable types of connection. This method provides the client with the highest speed of receiving and transmitting information, which reaches up to 1 Gbit per second.

Installation specialists do not connect the fiber optic cable directly to the user’s computer or Wi-Fi modem. Therefore, to receive the signal you will need a special decoder. In apartment buildings, such a set-top box is installed by the operator itself, but when connecting in the private sector, the decoder must be purchased independently. And only from this set-top box will there be standard Ethernet cables that are directly connected to a computer or Wi-Fi modem router.

The cost of installing a fiber optic cable is the highest of all possible methods of connecting the Internet to a private home. The cost will depend on several factors:

• level of required installation work;
• connection equipment;
• distance for the nearest connection station.

You can find out the current price of fiber-optic Internet to a private home exclusively from specialists from the company. Despite the high cost of connection, the quality of fiber optic communication is the most impeccable.

What technologies are presented in

uses three main types of technologies: ADSL, GPON and Wi-Fi. All have advantages and disadvantages. The specific type of Internet connection to a private home or dacha is established based on technical capabilities.

ADSL connection

If there is a landline telephone in the house, then Internet access is provided using ADSL. This technology uses telephone lines through which an Internet signal is transmitted. Depending on the distance of the communication center and the length of the cable line, the speed of receiving information ranges from 2–4 Mbit/s to 20–25 Mbit/s. The average speed stated in the tariff line is 10 Mbit/sec .

The technology is based on the use of a digital line of a telephone network subscriber. The telephone network transmits voice messages in analog form. Using ADSL technology, the analog signal is converted to digital and transmitted to the input of the network adapter. In this case, digital and analog signals are separated into two components and supplied simultaneously to the telephone and computer.

When connected, devices can be connected using ADSL technology

Telephone line (ADSL)

Connecting to the network via a telephone line is carried out by Rostelecom specialists according to the same principle as in the absence of fiber optic cable. Although ADSL technology has lost its relevance and relevance when connecting to the Internet in an apartment, a telephone line can be an excellent budget option for connecting a private home.

Naturally, to connect to the Internet via a telephone line, the user must be a landline telephone subscriber from Rostelecom.

Connection principle and cost:

• The Internet signal is carried through the same cable as the telephone connection.
• In order for a subscriber to simultaneously use network access and a telephone, it will be necessary to purchase a special frequency limiter. The cost of this device varies from 200 to 300 rubles.
• You will also need an ADSL router to connect. This device receives and decodes the main signal, and also uses it as a Wi-Fi router. The price of a router depends on its quality. The cost of optimal options is 2000-3000 rubles.

The price of a full connection will cost a Rostelecom subscriber an amount approximately equal to 4,000 rubles. Which is much cheaper than installing cable internet in a private home.

Connection via a telephone line provides its users with speeds of up to 24 Mbit per second. However, in reality it may turn out to be several times less than stated. Since the speed will depend on the quality of the telephone line.

The main disadvantage of this method of Internet access is possible problems with communication and network connections. The telephone line practically does not work in bad weather conditions.

Subscriber reviews

Anton:

Conducted Internet via fiber optic line. It wasn’t too expensive, since the neighbors are Rostelecom subscribers and the cable has already been installed. The application was processed in a few days, they contacted me, set a date and time for the specialist to arrive. So far it's working stable.

Karina:

I thought for a long time before connecting to the Internet from Rostelecom, but I finally decided. To be honest, the provider pleasantly surprised me. Firstly, the connection was completely free, as it was done through a telephone line, and secondly, they provided me with a modem for only a ruble per month. Of course, the speed is not very good, but it’s enough for me.

Mobile Internet

If the subscriber uses exclusively portable devices (mobile phones, tablets and other gadgets), then it is more advisable not to connect the Internet through expensive fiber-optic networks or telephone communications.

An excellent option may be to use a mobile connection - without a home phone. Sim cards will cost users much less than other methods of connecting to the World Wide Web.

Tariff plans from Rostelecom offer their customers Internet traffic from 70 megabytes to 25 gigabytes per month. The price category of tariffs will differ depending on the amount of Internet data provided.

However, before choosing traffic, you should pay more attention to the components of the tariff plan. Some tariffs from Rostelecom still use exclusively 3G communications, ignoring the more advanced LTE 4G.

Internet tariffs in Moscow

We invite you to consider all Internet tariff plans available for connection in the capital.

Home Internet

First of all, let's look at tariffs that only provide access to broadband Internet. These are the cheapest offers that are not burdened with additional and unnecessary services. You can see all the options in the following table:

Internet + digital TV

Video: Divorce from Rostelecom - solution

The next option is the Internet in combination with digital television. This technology is considered obsolete, since higher quality and more functional television is interactive. However, everyone can still take advantage of digital TV tariffs. Let's look at their table.

Internet + interactive TV

Now let’s look at offers that, in addition to home Internet, include interactive television. Today this service involves the advanced Wink system. It connects either using a set-top box to your TV or through a free app for smart TVs.

Internet + interactive TV + mobile communications

Several years ago, the provider in question began to actively develop in the direction of mobile services. This happened as a result of the “absorption” of Rostelecom. During this time, the operator managed to capture part of the market and offer users optimal volumes of services at extremely attractive prices. You can verify this by studying the table of tariff plans for the Internet, mobile communications and interactive television.

Game tariffs

Rostelecom provides customers with a separate line of tariffs designed for fans of online games. This can be either a separate Internet or a package offer. Let's consider all possible options.

How to choose a tariff

There is no universal formula that will help anyone choose a tariff. It all depends on many factors, namely:

• Subscription fee suitable for each month;
• The need for Internet, television, mobile communications services. Based on this, you can choose a single or package tariff;
• Your TV model. If it is old, then it is better to connect digital TV rather than interactive;
• If you need home Internet to work remotely, then you should pay attention to the “Benefit Technologies PRO” tariff;
• If you like online games, it is recommended to connect to one of the tariffs in the “Game” line.

WiFi

In addition to paid options, Rostelecom also provides its subscribers with free Internet use through the distribution of a public Wi-Fi signal. According to the government program “Eliminating the Digital Divide,” adopted in 2003, Wi-Fi routers should be installed in settlements whose population varies from 250 to 500 people, to which anyone can connect.

The connection speed of such a network is 10 Mbit per second, however, due to the large connection to one Wi-Fi source, the signal can be significantly reduced. At the moment, many settlements have already been connected.

Description of broadband

Not long ago, Rostelecom began testing new technology for the Internet in remote areas of the country. It was called WBBA, which stands for wireless broadband access.

For its operation, a station is installed in the center of a sparsely populated area. Clients place a special antenna on the roof of their house, which will be ready to receive the signal.

The Internet speed with such a connection does not exceed 10 Mb/s, but the cost of the equipment is significantly lower than in the case of a satellite connection.

Therefore, Rostelecom broadband access is a very promising direction that residents of many remote areas will soon be able to take advantage of. It is recommended to clarify details by calling 88001000800.

How much does it cost to connect a private house?

The cost of connecting to the Internet in a private home depends on the Internet access option.

The options are as follows:

1. The most expensive installation of equipment is for fiber optic cable and satellite Internet. Connections of this type require a lot of installation work not only at the subscriber site, but also at communication workstations. Therefore, the user will have to pay from 20,000 to 70,000 rubles for installing cable or satellite Internet.
2. Conducting a network through a telephone line costs about 5,000 rubles. However, this figure is only possible if there is a connected landline telephony connection.
3. Mobile communications will cost the least for the client. In this case, the cost is equal to the subscription fee for the first month of using the tariff plan.
4. Using a public Wi-Fi network is absolutely free. You just need to register on the Rostelecom website using your mobile phone number.

It is also worth understanding that, in addition to the connection cost that the user pays for installing the Internet, there is also a monthly subscription fee, which depends on the tariff chosen by the client.

Types of connections

Not everyone knows that connections can be of different types. Depending on the degree of complexity of the work and other nuances, one or another type of connection is chosen.

PON (fiber optic)

This is the latest and inexpensive technology that allows for super-powerful Internet. Just one PON node makes it possible to connect about a hundred subscribers, while no one’s Internet throughput will be affected. leads a program to connect the most remote areas, the private sector of cities and towns to the Internet.

In cases where there is a PON node nearby, connecting the house is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Send an application to the official website of Rostelecom. Specialists go to the specified address, determine the availability of the connection and, if there is one, begin work.
2. The customer support service also allows you to create and send a connection request. In addition, here you can find out about existing tariffs and choose the one that suits you. You can call the support service toll-free: 8-800-1000-800.
3. When visiting in person, you can do the same thing, but you must have your passport with you.

When there is no PON node nearby, the company may refuse to provide the service, explaining that the equipment will be economically unprofitable for Rostelecom. Even if a person insists on his own, it will cost him a lot. In other words, the more people who simultaneously want to make such a connection, the cheaper this service will cost.

Turning to other providers is not always advisable. This is due to the fact that Rostelecom is practically the only company that connects private homes and remote villages to the Internet. The company is more likely to consider an application if 10 or more private houses in the neighborhood submit a collective application.

This is not to say that this is a very fast process. If the actual visit to the site and consideration of the application occurs quickly, then the collection of documents for cable laying and its actual implementation take about 2-4 months. During this period, subscribers need to periodically remind themselves so that their application is not delayed.

Subscribers also need to be vigilant when third-party contractors offer their cable services. They try to take as much money as possible for it. Therefore, subscribers are recommended to work exclusively with representatives.

ADSL

Today this is the most used option for connecting to the Internet in private homes. It is enough that a telephone line is installed in the village, then connecting to the World Wide Web is not difficult at all.

A citizen who decides to install Internet in his home must first leave a request. This is done in any of three ways:

1. When visiting the company office. Immediately at the address of the house, an employee checks the possibility of connection. The subscriber must have his passport and a telephone line agreement with him. Checking connectivity can take up to two business days, after which a company employee contacts the subscriber and discusses the details, and also determines the time when technicians will arrive.
2. On the official website in the “Internet” section, you can do the same thing, and also study existing tariff plans and choose something for yourself. After reviewing the application, the operator contacts the subscriber and informs them of the decision.
3. A call to the toll-free hotline number 8-800-100-0800 also makes it possible to apply for an Internet connection.

Mobile Internet

Mobile Internet should be considered as an option in cases where there is no way to persuade neighbors to connect to a more modern Internet. Mobile Internet is also not a cheap option. It is most advisable to use this connection method in remote villages that also have LTE or 3G coverage.

The algorithm for connecting to the mobile Internet is as follows:

1. The subscriber purchases a SIM card from, it is perfect for portable modems. The company also offers its subscribers such modems, but if you have them, you can use your own.
2. A SIM card is required in order to be able to connect to any tariff. Traffic on any of them is limited; you can get 15-50 gigabytes per month.
3. Now all that remains is to find the place in your home where the signal is strongest. This is where it is preferable to place the router and connect a modem to it (if there is a need to use Wi-Fi). If there is no such need, then you can connect directly to a computer or laptop.

Using such Internet, you can have absolute mobility: the device can be used on any trip, it is suitable for use in the most remote places from cities.

There is also a drawback - sometimes the connection speed is too slow. It depends on how far away the cell phone towers are located. The downside is the monthly fee; it will always be higher than when using a dedicated line.

WiFi

Here, too, the main role is played by the availability of technical connectivity. If there is a line or at least an Internet cable in the village or surrounding area, then this is already good.

There are also restrictions on the type of housing. If a residential building is officially a dacha and people cannot be registered there, then most likely they will be denied connection. Connection may not be cheap; the cost also depends on the number of neighbors who want to connect to the Internet.

If all parameters are in order, the subscriber’s action algorithm is as follows:

1. Sending an application via the company website, calling the hotline or visiting the Rostelecom office.
2. Study current tariffs and choose the best option for yourself.
3. Departure to the address of specialist technicians.
4. Carrying out a cable or line to the required home.

This connection has a number of disadvantages:

• connection speed is not too high, only up to 10 Mbit/s;
• you can only visit those sites that have been approved in the program, there are only about 2000 of them;
• The service is not valid everywhere, you can see this on the map or check with your provider.

Satellite Internet

It itself is not cheap, it depends on the high cost of the equipment. It can reach a price of 30 thousand rubles. True, sometimes you can simply rent equipment; it costs between 700-1100 rubles per month. Internet speed can reach 45 Mbit/s.

How to submit a connection request

You can submit your application in the following ways:

• by contacting the nearest Rostelecom branch;
• online application;
• telephone call.

You can leave a request on the official website of Rostelecom. To do this, in the “Internet” tab, you need to open the “Connect” option. The site will require you to select a locality and offer possible types of communication in this area. After selecting a tariff plan, the future client will be asked to fill out an application; after completing it, the subscriber will receive a call back from the company to confirm the application.

The subscriber can also call the toll-free number 8 800 100 08 00. Having contacted the operator, the future user will be offered all possible types of connection, a convenient date for establishing a connection and an optimal tariff plan.

You can also leave a connection request at any sales and service office.

Submitting an application

Application methods:

1. The hotline, which is available in, was created specifically to help subscribers resolve certain issues. Calling 8-800-1000-800 is free. The subscriber must indicate the region of residence and voice the desire to connect to the network. The specialist himself must advise the client on the optimal connection option.
2. An application on the Rostelecom website excludes the possibility of personal communication with a specialist; the answer will be sent to the subscriber by email. Consideration of such applications takes a longer period.
3. A personal visit with a passport makes it possible to clarify all questions of interest and receive detailed answers to them.

As already mentioned, there is nothing better than filing a collective application: not only will it cost much less, but it will also get the company to pay attention to it faster.

How does the procedure for connecting the Internet from Rostelecom to a private home take place?

After reviewing the application, the operator will call the client back to confirm the service provided and the date of its implementation. The procedure itself depends on the method of Internet connection chosen by the user.

The fiber optic method requires large-scale work; for the Internet via telephone communication, special set-top boxes are required. The connection specialist will also enter into a service agreement with the company. From this moment on, the user will be a client of Rostelecom.

When choosing the most convenient way to connect to the Internet in a private area, you should proceed from financial capabilities, the required speed and the location of the private home.
