4G Internet on Tele2
Lte is a high-speed data transfer standard. Tele2 has recently switched to this format and has already provided it to its subscribers in almost every city in Russia. 4G's parameters significantly exceed previous offerings - 3G. Downloads are performed at speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second on desktop devices. This type operates on several Tele2 frequency bands, and they differ depending on location.
You can access information about your region of residence at any time. Just go to the provider’s official website and open the network coverage tab (or open a separate article with a Tele2 network coverage map). After this, a map will appear on the screen, on which hotspots and areas with high signal levels from base stations are marked. A filter has been installed that allows you to evaluate the availability of each communication format and the speed of Tele2 Internet in a specific locality.
If you have found your city on the map, now you need to check whether your device and SIM card support this format. After all, the data transfer speed will directly depend on this. To check your phone you will need:
- When purchasing a new smartphone, check out its specifications. The list should show the range of supported frequency bands. If it indicates the frequency valid for your region, then feel free to purchase it. To find out the properties of lte broadcasting in the city, request information from technical support.
- Each device has a special unique IMEI identifier. Check it on the network for compatibility with 4g. For example, a special verification system has been developed on the Tele2 website in Kazakhstan. Just enter your code in the appropriate field and wait for a response. SIM cards are also verified here. Enter your mobile number and you will immediately receive a compatibility message.
- You can find out about the properties of a SIM card using the USSD service. Dial *156# in the call menu. After this, a message will come telling you whether your SIM supports high-speed data transfer format. If the card is out of date, change it at any Tele2 sales office. The balance, all active services and phone number will be transferred to the new one without changes. You do not have to pay for this procedure.
Description
Internet connection speed becomes minimal when user traffic is zero.
If the Internet data traffic corresponding to the tariff plan has ended, then the client of the Tele2 cellular operator can increase the data package by a certain size using the “Add speed” function.
Users are offered an increase in traffic by one gigabyte for a month. You can activate the service in the following ways:
- on the official website of the operator;
- using a special USSD code “*155*541#”.
The cost of the service is 120 rubles.
Using your phone settings
Internet speed on Tele2 is increased by making changes to the terminal system. Several factors can influence transmission. Let's look at acceleration methods on popular smartphone operating systems in detail.
On Android
Slow Internet on Tele2 causes the device to become clogged with useless applications. To increase the speed on your phone you need to:
- Close all background programs that you are not currently using. Their activity can greatly affect the connection.
- Remove unnecessary utilities from the device's memory. They can eat up a significant portion of system resources.
- Clear cache, saves and loads.
- Cancel useless browser bookmarks. A large accumulation of open pages affects data exchange.
- Optimize your main browser. Go to the utility settings and select the traffic saving section. Activate the function. After this, information will be automatically compressed by almost 50%.
- Try to restore speed by restarting your smartphone. And re-join the base station.
iOS
In many ways, the setup is similar to the previous representative. The whole point of the procedures is to optimize the internal processes of the device and programs. The main application for accessing the Internet on Apple technology is Safari. Let's change its parameters.
- Clear your log and browsing history.
- Disable automatic updating of system settings and applications in the background.
- Close tabs you don't use.
- Delete files from cache or offline storage.
- Turn off the JavaScript engine. After this, some pages on the Internet may not display correctly.
- On new models and software versions, there is an ApplePay detection feature. Disable it in your browser settings.
The main reasons for the drop in speed
Tele2 company provides Internet services using technologies: 4G, 3G, 2.5G and LTE. The speed at which traffic will be distributed on a particular device depends not only on its model, but also on the area in which the person lives and his tariff. To determine how to increase the Internet speed on a Tele2 phone, it is important to find out what is causing the sharp decrease. Periodic failures occur for a number of reasons:
- lack of traffic on the tariff or its depletion;
- communication failure due to weather conditions;
- distance from the nearest tower;
- high network load.
- incorrect operation of the smartphone;
- settings failure or incorrect entry;
- technical work for the operator;
- distributing traffic to other equipment;
- SIM card malfunction;
- activation of the “In Flight” mode.
The reason for the decrease in speed indicators may be one of the listed reasons or several in combination.
Using apps
It is possible to increase the Internet speed on Tele2 using third-party programs developed specifically for this purpose. The following utilities exist for Android-based OS:
- Internet Speed Master.
The main function is to optimize system parameters, thereby improving the quality and speed of loading. In the main menu, click on the Apply Patch button and reboot your phone. After this, the changes should take effect. To work, you need to pay for special root rights. - Internet Booster is compatible with Wi-Fi and 3G communication formats. The simple interface will not let you get confused in the menu.
- Speed-Up-Internet. This is a new development that corresponds to the latest versions of Android software. Works with the 4G standard.
IPhone lovers install:
3G Network booster. The application is designed to solve problems with slow information transfer. Speeds up the Internet almost twice and measures it.
All listed programs are open access. Provided free of charge.
Attention! Download only verified files. Under the guise of a useful utility, the user can add a scam virus agent.
Factors not related to the Internet provider Tele2
Sometimes the telecom operator is not to blame for the poor Internet performance. In this case, the problem arises from the subscriber's device itself.
The Internet may start to slow down in the following cases:
- When it is raining outside or strong wind is blowing.
- If the subscriber is located away from the company's tower.
- The network is heavily loaded.
- The subscriber's phone does not support 4G (can be checked in the settings).
- The SIM card is not intended for fourth generation networks.
Each of these problems can be solved. So there is no need to worry too much if the network is not working well. You can increase the connection quality and speed up the Internet at home
No funds on balance
If the speed has dropped to almost zero, then first of all check the funds on your balance; most likely, the package of services has come to an end. To connect 1 Gigabyte of traffic for 120 rubles, you need to enter a special command:
*155*541#
To disable the service, enter:
*155*540#
To check the status of the connected service, enter:
*155*54#
Low speed when connected through a router
You can use the Internet from Tele2 through a Wi-Fi router. In this case, problems may also arise. First, the user must make sure that the reason for the low speed is in the router. Don't rush to go to the store for a new device.
What you need to know:
- The router has software and hardware limitations. More often, subscribers who use budget models face the problem of slow Internet. Sometimes flashing the firmware helps resolve the issue and the connection speed increases.
- Consider the impact of external factors. Home appliances, router location and other factors can cause a drop in speed. Try to install the router in a place where the signal reception will be strongest.
- Set a password on your device. Often neighbors connect to free Wi-Fi networks, “stealing” the user’s traffic. Internet speed in this case will inevitably drop.
How to check real speed
The actual Internet speed may differ greatly from the one promised by the operator. But in general this does not interfere with normal operation. But sometimes the difference in performance is significant. In such cases, you need to try to find the cause of the low speed yourself. Subscribers can always contact technical support.
On the Internet you can find a lot of online services with which you can independently check your speed indicator. Before testing the connection quality, we recommend scanning your PC. Try increasing its speed.
Users most often prefer the SpeedTest online service. This is a completely affordable and convenient tool for performing Internet speed tests. You need to go to this resource. On the main page, find the “Start verification” option. After clicking on the active button, the entire process of analyzing the speed indicator will become available to you.
Before starting the scan, deactivate all programs on your computer that consume traffic. Also stop all download processes. Otherwise, test results may be distorted. SpeedTest will allow you to find out all the necessary information, including incoming and outgoing speed. Even a beginner can measure speed with SpeedTest. You don't have to do anything complicated.
Checking the connection
Speedtest tele2 is a service that will help you measure the speed of your Internet connection online for free. The resource is available to all citizens, and not just users of Tele2 services. Speed is measured by uploading a large, voluminous text file to the server, which is provided by the service.
At https://speedtest.tele2.net, the user's country is automatically detected and redirected to the optimal version of the server. The system offers the subscriber a choice of several options for uploaded documents - from 100 MB to 1 thousand GB. In a few minutes, the Tele2 Internet speed test will give an accurate result.
However, before you check the tele2 Internet speed on your phone, you should follow certain rules:
- Clear your browser of cache and other junk.
- Do not take measurements during bad weather.
- Do not check when, according to the subscriber's tariff plan, the connection is already small.
- Clean your gadget from viruses and malware.
- Find out that there is 4g coverage in the subscriber’s physical location.
What to do if the mobile network is unavailable
Next, you need to check the settings on your smartphone. You may have airplane mode enabled, which causes your phone to stop detecting the network. If the smartphone is dual-SIM, it may have SIM on or off buttons. Sometimes in mobile devices only the first SIM card slot is intended for calls and SMS. This information can be found in the user manual or on the manufacturer's website.
The next step is to check the status of the SIM card. You need to make sure that it is installed correctly and that its format (Sim, micro SIM or nano SIM) matches the slot in the phone. Next, you need to put the SIM card in another phone and call it. This way you can make sure that it is not blocked and is working properly. If the SIM card does not work, you should inspect it. The card chip may be scratched or damaged.
If the SIM is working, you need to look for the problem in the phone itself. The device must first be rebooted. There may be a system failure and a restart may resolve the issue. If this does not help, you can reset your smartphone to factory settings.
Before resetting your phone to its original settings, you need to move all your photos, videos and other personal data to the cloud or to your computer. When you restore your mobile device, all information stored on it will be deleted.
Sometimes problems arise after trying to update the OS yourself or install new firmware. New software may not be compatible with the communication module installed in the smartphone. To fix the problem, reset the operating system and return the phone to its original settings.
If all of the above steps do not produce results, the reason for the lack of mobile network may be in the phone hardware. If it is known that it has been dropped or moisture has gotten inside, it is recommended to take the smartphone to a service center for diagnostics and subsequent repairs. You should not open the device yourself and look for a malfunction - inexperienced actions can lead to even greater damage.
If, when trying to call or send a message to Tele2, a subscriber discovers that the phone does not receive the mobile network, he needs to make sure that other people’s smartphones are working properly. If this is indeed the case, you need to look for the reason in the operation of the SIM card, in the settings of the phone itself. You may need to reset your mobile device to factory settings after saving all personal data in the cloud or on your computer. If the actions do not produce results, the smartphone should be sent for repair, especially if it is known that the phone was flooded with water or dropped before the problem began. It is not recommended to open and try to repair the device yourself, because... wrong actions can ruin it completely.

What can affect the speed indicator
There are factors that can affect the speed of data transfer over a mobile network.
These factors should be considered when choosing a particular provider:
- Coverage quality. The higher it is, the better the signal. It depends on the number of base stations.
- Network congestion. In densely populated areas, one or two stations serve thousands of subscribers. Therefore, some users may experience poor internet quality.
- Various interferences. Any reinforced concrete structure can become an obstacle to the signal passage. Many home devices that produce signals in the frequency range close to 4G can negatively affect the quality of the Internet.
These factors can cause a drop in Internet speed. Despite this, many subscribers are switching to unlimited from Tele2. It is profitable and very convenient.
