“Smart Zabugorishche”, “Our Smart”, “Smart+”, “Ultra”, “VIP”, “Smart Top”, as well as the non-public tariff plan “Smart for our own”.
Not without a fly in the ointment, as they say. The option has a number of conditions
:
- Option is not intended for modem
- When using file-sharing networks, for example, a torrent tracker, the speed will be reduced to 128 Kbps
- You cannot distribute traffic via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB (from February 12, 2021, you can distribute mobile Internet, but with a traffic limit, more details here)

- Unlimited Internet cannot be distributed through the “General Package”. Only the basic Internet package on your tariff will be distributed
- Mobile Internet speed may be limited when there is a high load on the MTS network
- The option is valid throughout Russia, but only in the network of the mobile operator MTS
- When you connect the “Much Internet” option, the “Social networks”, “Web” and “Youtube” options will automatically be disabled if you have them connected and will not be available for connection
- The option fee is debited every month on the day the option is activated.
- If your number has been blocked, the money for the option will be debited after you unblock it. If the option was blocked throughout the entire billing period, then no money will be debited for this period.
