It provides unlimited Internet not only for smartphones, but also for tablets and personal computers using USB modems or branded Internet centers from this mobile data operator.

The company offers the following options:
- Two hours for 50 rubles*;

Temporary activation is also suitable for people who rarely use the Internet. If you do not pay for the service on time or use up all Gigabytes ahead of schedule, then access to the network will remain, but its speed will range from 64 to 128 Kbps (and when working with file hosting services it will drop to 32 Kbps). This will be enough to log into the network, but will not be enough to perform any normal actions on the Internet. This is where temporary options appeared: 2 hours for 50 rubles and a day for 150 rubles.

About speed
For a number of tariffs, the subscriber chooses the speed characteristics of the future connection himself when activating them. In a 4G LTE network, speeds can reach 15-20 Mbit/s. For older generation networks (3G), this parameter ranges from 3 to 6 Mbit/s. This data is highly inaccurate because it is influenced by:
- Network congestion at the moment;
- TX of the devices used;
- Internet connection type;
- Remoteness of the subscriber from Internet stations;
- Relief characteristics that affect the passage of signal waves.
Important! That is why the communication speed can change: it is influenced by quite a few natural and man-made factors and the coverage area of the subscriber’s location.

About prices and their formation
It’s worth returning to Iota Internet tariffs. This article talked about prices for the capital region, but the company changes them in different cities and regions to equalize people with different salaries and standards of living. It's easy to find out prices in your region. To do this, you need to visit the operator’s website, find the section with modem plans and read the payment terms.
Disadvantages of mobile access
Mostly, residents of Moscow, as well as other regions, leave positive reviews about the Iota home Internet, but the mobile operator also has disadvantages:
- Unstable ping. This drawback mainly irritates people who like to play online games. This activity requires fast program responses.
- Lack of 4G. In such places, routers and modems have poor signal reception. The problem can be solved using additional equipment.
- Reduced speed. Under heavy network load, mainly on weekends or after working hours, the performance drops noticeably.
Otherwise, the yota home network works perfectly and efficiently, and the low cost of services attracts more and more people, which makes the provider popular and widespread.
The Yota operator also provides subscribers with the opportunity to watch television online; if the need is only for TV, then an unlimited tariff is not necessary; a speed of about 10 Mb/sec will be sufficient.
Equipment
To use Internet traffic from Yota on a PC or laptop, you will need a modem or router. There are two options here:
- Availability of the required equipment;
- Lack of devices and purchasing them from Yota.
If you already have a device, then it is important that it meets all the required parameters, and there are no restrictions on its use in the networks of other providers.
When selling devices from the company, you can purchase several devices:
- 4G modem - 1900 rubles;
- Router - 2900 rubles;
- Router + modem Yota Ready Maxi - 6190 rubles;
- Internet center (for home, cottage and office) - 6900 rubles.
Yota router
This company provides both mobile and stationary routers. Mobile router Iota 4g price and tariffs depend solely on the user. The simplest model costs 1900 rubles, and the most expensive 3990 rubles. it looks like a regular flash drive that can be connected to a computer or laptop. Yota tariffs for such routers are in no way inferior to stationary ones.
For stationary models, prices are different, and here you should start from the needs of the user. Stationary router Iota 4g price and tariffs depend on the power and ability of the router to pass information through itself. So, for a single computer, a kit for a summer house is suitable, the cost of which is only 4,990 rubles; for a large office, a router for 17,000 may be suitable, but the choice is determined by the need for the speed and volume of the Internet provided. If you plan to connect only one person, the power will be excessive and the capabilities will never be used effectively.
How to activate and deactivate the service
It remains to consider how to connect to the operator’s network. To become a client of the company, you need to spend a little time. At the moment, for unknown reasons, the company does not offer to deliver a SIM card, although the website has sections for ordering a card for a phone and tablet.

- Go to the official website of the operator;
- Select a section with available points of sale of equipment and SIM cards;
- Wait for the map with points to load;
- View the addresses of the nearest offices and choose the most suitable one;
- Familiarize yourself with his work schedule;
- Come to the office and receive a SIM card after completing the contract, for which you will need to bring your passport;
