Internet S, M and L
Tariff options are similar to the same name for a smartphone. In addition, unlimited access to 16 services is provided. The current list can always be found on the official website of the company.
To take advantage of this, you will have to go to the following restrictions:
- Install the latest version of the application or browser;
- refuse to use the Opera browser and work in data compression mode;
- disable VPN.
The tariff overview "Megaphone" with unlimited Internet for a modem or router below.
Internet M and L
Options are almost similar to the same name for a smartphone. The difference is that the modem or router provides unlimited access to the storage in the Cloud: Mail.ru Cloud, Yandex Disk, Dropbox (for the Windows operating system), iCloud (for the iOS operating system).
To take advantage of this, you will have to go to the following restrictions:
Only 2 tariff plans for a modem or router have the ability to connect Unlimited Megafon Internet without traffic restrictions. True, access without restrictions is possible only at night.
"Internet XL"
This tariff option for the modem and router is similar to the previous ones. The difference is only in the amount of traffic provided - 30 GB per month during the day and full unlimited at night. Subscription fee - 800 rubles per month.
"Internet XXL"
This tariff option is called conditionally unlimited. Why conditionally? 100 Gb of traffic per day is provided per month. There are no restrictions on the volume of traffic at night. There is an unlimited Internet "Megaphone" without traffic restrictions at night 1310 rubles per month.
However, there were some “pitfalls”:
the tariff option is available only for the modem or router - during the day unlimited access is open only to cloud storage;
For the correct operation, the latest browser version is suitable;
have to abandon the use of the Opera browser and work in data compression mode;
fails to use VPN.
Tariffs of Megafon with unlimited Internet may be beneficial for someone, but other companies offer more attractive conditions.
To summarize
So far, only "Internet XXL" for a modem or router can be considered conditionally unlimited. In theory, Internet traffic should be provided at maximum speed. According to the advertisement, Megafon has the fastest unlimited 4G Internet .
However, with the help of test measurements, it was noticed that the speed constantly jumps and critically drops during heavy use during the day. When buying the remaining options, subscribers pay for a certain amount of traffic and unlimited access to specific services. However, its limitations are also invented here, which are discussed in detail above.
Therefore, it’s too early to talk about unlimited mobile Internet from Megafon.
