A distinctive feature of the “Your Optimal” tariff from Rostelecom is its list of channels, which includes more than 150 titles. The size of the subscription fee for this connection option is also quite acceptable. Both of these points encourage you to decide to subscribe to the tariff immediately. However, first you should learn about the features of this tariff plan in more detail.
Your tariff is optimal
Thanks to the large list of channels, the Your Optimal Rostelecom package is considered one of the best offers from the provider. Users receive more than 140 channels in digital quality, which is 20 more channels than in the starter package. Let us immediately note that the provider eventually removed the prefix “Your” from the name and today the available packages are simply called Starter, Free, Advanced and Maximum.
The list of channels in the Your Optimal Rostelecom tariff includes different directions, which covers the needs of users of different age categories, both children and adults. Along with the package, users have access to many topics. Here's a short list:
- Wide range of topics - NTV, Russia 1, Channel One and others.
- Information and news - Russia 24, World 24, Euronews.
- For children and teenagers - Cartoon, Children's, STS Kids HD and others.
- Cinema - Phoenix plus Cinema, TV 1000, etc.
- Music - TNT Music, MusicBox, Muz TV and others.
- Sports - Match! Our Sport, Viasat Sport, Eurosport 1, etc.
In addition to those presented above, the list of channels of the Optimal Rostelecom package includes “representatives” of other directions - humorous, educational, music and others. With an expanded list of programs, the provider tried to satisfy the needs of people with different interests - businessmen, hunters, fishermen, entrepreneurs, musicians and representatives of other professions.
When considering which channels are included in the Optimal Rostelecom package, it is important to take into account the presence of two technologies. The tariff is provided in the form of digital or interactive television. In the second case, the list of channels is larger - over 200. This point needs to be clarified in more detail, taking into account your region.

How to disable
If you are not satisfied with the Optimal tariff plan from Rostelecom, for example, because of the list of channels, you can disable the service. This can be done in several ways:
- Switch to another tariff plan. To do this, go to the official website in the TV tariffs section, select the appropriate package (with a suitable list of channels) and connect it.
- Don't pay for the service. When the balance reaches zero, the tariff plan is no longer available, and after some time the contract is considered terminated (depending on the operator’s conditions).
Alternatively, you can come to the company’s office or call the call center to inform the provider’s representatives about your intention to disconnect from the service. Rostelecom employees will tell you how to do this easier.
Types of interactive television
Interactive television (ITV) is a high-quality television broadcast in which the signal is transmitted via cable and a set-top box connected to the TV. For proper operation of the system, initial setup of ITV Rostelecom is required.
Two types of interactive television are offered:
- ITV. A standard set-top box is connected, through which the signal is transmitted.
- ITV 2.0. A set-top box is used that is available for reconnection regardless of location and operator. This device is the best option for users who travel frequently and change their place of residence.
But you need to take into account that ITV turns out to be slightly more profitable than ITV 2.0. At the same cost, in the second option the number of channels is smaller.
TV signal transmission is carried out not only via fiber optic cable. You can use a slower telephone line (ADSL). The list of packages offered by Rostelecom is large. Therefore, there are no difficulties in choosing. Each client selects the optimal Rostelecom television and Internet tariff for himself.
When tariffs change, the operator sends a message about this that appears on the TV screen. The user, turning on the TV, sees the received information.
