MTS has quite a few tariffs and options for mobile Internet, and most of them provide a limited traffic package. Speed and traffic restrictions cause dissatisfaction among many subscribers. Agree, it would be great to never think about how to check traffic on MTS, but simply use the mobile Internet without restrictions. Unfortunately, completely unlimited Internet without any restrictions is a thing of the past, but several offers on the Russian communications market can still be identified today. Thus, the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option of MTS deserves special attention. This option includes unlimited Internet with an unlimited traffic quota.
As we have already said, there are currently no offers with unlimited internet without any restrictions. You can find a tariff or option without a traffic quota, but there may be restrictions on using a SIM in a modem, distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi, etc. Of course, the MTS “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option also has pitfalls. The most important drawback of the option is indicated by its name. However, in addition to the speed limit, there are other important features. In this article we will look at them all.
Option Description
Why is it convenient and profitable to use this service? Because you pay once a month and don’t count traffic balances. At the same time, at any point in vast Russia that is included in the MTS coverage area, the speed of receiving and transmitting information will remain high.

For the opportunity to use any online services and sites without any limits, you must pay 750 rubles per month. This is an excellent price, considering that 4G modems from MTS work anywhere the operator’s network is available.
“Sounds very good, but what exactly can I do if my Internet modem provides a speed of 4 Mbps?” - you might be thinking. We answer. You can listen to online radio or listen to music on any streaming platforms without any interference. This is also a guarantee of stable viewing of online videos in standard quality (at a resolution of 720x576).

How much does Internet access cost up to 4 Mbit?
The service provides for monthly billing, in which 750 rubles are deducted from the subscriber’s balance. There are no additional charges unless used while outside your home region.
Rules for charging fees
The first time the monthly fee is withdrawn from the account immediately after connection. In the future - with the onset of the day the number of which corresponds to the connection date. MTS equipment automatically checks the subscriber's balance before the planned deduction of fees. If there are not enough funds, the ability to access the Internet is blocked. The ban does not in any way affect the functionality of the SIM card, which does not depend on GPRS. Access is restored automatically as soon as the balance appears sufficient for debiting.
Important information! If there is no planned date for withdrawing the subscription fee in the month, the money will be deducted on the last day. For example, you connected “Internet 4 Mbit/sec.” August 31. In September and other months with 30 days, money will be debited from the account on the 30th, and in February - on the 28th or 29th.
If at the time of the scheduled debiting of funds the subscriber's account is blocked (for administrative, financial reasons, due to loss or on the subscriber's personal initiative), the operation is postponed until the operator unlocks the SIM.
Tariff connection conditions
The “Laptop” tariff with unlimited internet provides for an advance payment procedure. The subscription fee is debited from the client's account 1 month in advance. When using paid content services, the client may incur additional costs for paying for subscriptions and, in some cases, traffic (if specified in the agreement with the service).

How to refuse the services of a provider?
According to user reviews, it is quite difficult to disable MTS home Internet; it is easier to first block the service for a while through your personal account and hand over the rented equipment, and then write an application to terminate the contract in the office. Therefore, be sure to pay attention to whether the company’s device is registered to you.
We have prepared detailed instructions on how to disable the Internet for you in a separate article. Be sure to check it out before making your final decision. In the meantime, we will give you general tips and recommendations.
We strongly recommend that you disable it only at the sales office, writing the application in your own hand and taking a certified copy. It is often advised to simply hand over the equipment and stop paying, but in this case you will not be included in the official documents, you will remain on the balance sheet and, as a result, you will remain in debt. MTS is inclined to transfer such cases to a collection agency, which leads to pressure on the subscriber from these organizations.
After writing your application, make sure that it has been accepted. Call the call center, or better yet, come into the office.
Subscribers are also offered a special function for the home Internet service from MTS - voluntary blocking, since it may be necessary to suspend the service for a while, for example, in case of departure.
Be careful, some subscribers complain that the blocking is lifted “by itself” and the company continues to charge fees.
Users' opinions
We analyzed the responses of those who connected MTS home Internet, reading reviews and the forum. The picture is not the most rosy.
Even making allowances for the fact that satisfied customers write reviews less often, we can still identify a number of complaints that occur most often:
- raise prices without notice;
- lack of employee competence;
- orientation towards new connections, work with already connected ones is carried out out of hand;
- bad attitude of installers;
- they can deceive about speed;
- trying to withdraw money for services not provided;
- they take money for non-existent equipment;
- do not return money in any way;
- raise tariffs without notice;
- difficult to contact support;
- do not terminate the contract;
- with voluntary blocking, the balance goes into minus.
For a number of points, it is obvious that they depend on the human factor, namely the education and interest of employees.
On average, we counted 4 positive reviews to 14 negative ones.
High speed (GPON) and uninterrupted operation are often noted as advantages. If our article helped you, please like it!
