Description of the Internet XL option from MegaFon

Mobile networks remain the only way for many people to access the Internet. And given the ever-increasing requirements for traffic volumes, options with a large number of included megabytes are becoming increasingly common. "Internet XL" from MegaFon is an offer that is difficult to refuse - it provides a large volume of traffic at an affordable price. And at night we get the real unlimited “Internet XL” from MegaFon - we download as much as we want.

Thanks to the large volume of included traffic, we will be able to:

• Watch videos on YouTube;
• Communicate on social networks without experiencing restrictions;
• Download and send large files;
• Call on Skype, with the camera turned on;
• Download bulky applications.

We will also be able to share the Internet with other users by activating distribution via Wi-Fi on our device. Recently, intra-Russian roaming has begun to slowly disappear in cellular networks. We can see how paid incoming calls disappear on tariffs with a subscription fee, low-cost calls to anywhere in Russia appear, and traffic packages available throughout the country are included. The same applies to the “XL” tariff from MegaFon - it works throughout the country, so you can easily travel around the regions while constantly being online .

So, what does the “Internet XL” option from MegaFon include?

• 30 GB of traffic during the day;
• Night unlimited;
• 4 films within;
• Package of television channels from MegaFon.

Movies and TV channels are provided as part of the promotion, which will last until the end of 2021. What will happen next is not yet very clear. Most likely, this content will become paid, and at the moment the operator has created a promotional period.

Daytime means the period from 07-00 in the morning to 00-59 at night - during this time you can download unlimitedly. Nothing is said about the need to reconnect the session, but for the sake of your own financial security, it is better to interrupt the day session after 1 am and start a new one.

30 GB traffic is a pretty serious package that will last for a long time. If unfortunate 2-3 GB is enough for a month to surf social networks or periodically surf websites, then 30 GB is enough to watch heavy videos. Due to the absence of restrictions on distribution, you will be able to distribute the Internet within the “Internet XL” option from MegaFon to other devices. And being on a 4G network, you can download heavy content at night at enormous speed . By the way, the subscription fee is 1290 rubles/month.
