How to check Internet speed on Tele2 on your phone

The speed of 4G Internet on Tele2 depends on a number of factors, so the performance during use varies periodically. In some cases, the quality of the connection becomes so poor that corrective action becomes necessary. First, you should check the Tele2 Internet speed using special test services.

Testers are designed to measure the speed of a network connection. They operate for any mobile operators and providers, providing the opportunity to obtain complete information: the operating system used, connection, provider, etc. The results obtained depend on the congestion of the mobile network. It is not worth testing on weekends and holidays, because the parameters will drop due to the heavy load on the server.

Factors affecting speed

Tele2's 4G speed varies; it is also worth noting that it does not work throughout Russia. The stability of the signal is affected by a number of factors, due to which even on a modern device within the network coverage area the Internet connection may be lost. To find out why the connection suddenly disappeared, you should study the popular reasons:

• weather;
• range of operator towers;
• phone settings failure;
• technical problems with the provider;
• outdated smartphone model;
• SIM card does not support the mode;
• the user himself blocked the function;
• the person is roaming;
• a third-party resource does not provide a response;
• The gigabyte package has run out.

Short-term problems more often occur when there is inclement weather outside or the user has left an area where there is a reliable Tele2 signal. If the incorrect operation is constant and the user cannot access the network at all, then the reason should be looked for in mobile settings or see if the traffic package has expired. Even with a sufficient GB limit, the speed will drop to a minimum if the user has a negative balance. This situation is typical for people whose tariff plan does not include a subscription fee, and the subscriber pays for communication based on activity.

A special feature of this tariff plan is the absence of subscription fees and service packages. The cost of calls and SMS, according to its terms, is quite high, but that’s why it is assumed that the subscriber will not make calls from this SIM card.

Unlimited Internet in a Tele2 modem.

Of course, traffic restrictions do not suit users. Therefore, they begin to look for offers for completely unlimited Internet for modems. From time to time, some operators - for example, Yota - offer something similar, with restrictions on distribution or downloading via torrents.

Tele2 currently has only one current offer with unlimited Internet - this is the “My Unlimited” tariff. Of course, it has a number of restrictions, including a ban on use in routers and modems. However, judging by user reviews, there are ways to get around it. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to legally get unlimited Internet via a USB modem or router on Tele2.

Difference between 3G and 4G

The 3G network has been in use for several years; coverage is available in all cities and towns with rare exceptions. As for the 4G network, it appeared relatively recently and so far only residents of large cities can use the Internet using the new technology at high speed.

Important! The key difference between 3G and 4G networks is the significantly increased speed of data transfer and file downloading. The new network has been significantly improved and modernized, which allows us to avoid technical failures and errors.

Tele2 assures that in new modem models it will be possible to download files at a speed of at least 100 Mb/s, while the 3G limit is only 348 Kb/s. The 4G USB modem model from Tele2 allows you to “call over the Internet” i.e. communicate with friends and family via Skype without delays or interference, because it uses the Voice over IP protocol. This makes calls to anywhere in the world possible.

If speed is less important for a subscriber than geographic coverage, he should choose 3G. Having appeared more than 10 years ago, the network has full coverage even in remote areas. This mobile communication standard is optimal for simple tasks: surfing the Internet and communicating on social networks.

The portable 4g ​​modem offered by the tele2 operator is worth choosing for users who plan to download files with a large “weight” and play MMORPG on a PC. The cost of such a device is naturally higher than 3G.

Note! On the operator’s official website in the section tele2.ru/coverage you can see where 2G, 3G or 4G is received by simply checking the boxes next to the desired item.
