Satellite Internet is a unique opportunity to constantly stay in touch on social networks, make purchases online, watch movies, develop your business in almost any industry, and view news. This can be done anywhere, wherever you are - in Western Siberia or in the very center of the Russian capital.
The provider is ready to provide users with access to high-speed two-way Internet wherever even cable networks refuse to work.
According to reviews of satellite Internet from Tricolor TV, the advantages of this type of connection are that access to the network exists even at the most remote points. This is an ideal solution for places where other operators are not ready to work. For example, if you live in a country house, cottage, in the country or in the country. High-speed satellite internet is available almost throughout Russia.
Tariffs
According to the reviews of Internet speed from Tricolor TV, data transfer is so fast that you can do without television at all. It is important that everyone can choose the tariff that suits him the most. You can apply for a package with the amount of prepaid traffic. The most affordable option is 3 GB per month for 680 rubles. In this case, the purchase of each next GB will cost you 255 rubles. 1 090 rubles costs 5 GB per month, and 2 700 rubles - 15 GB.
There are also unlimited internet tariffs. At a maximum speed of 20 Mbit / s, the cost of the service will be 2,990 rubles, and at 40 Mbit / s - 4,990 rubles.
Customer opinion
According to Internet reviews from Tricolor TV, users are not always satisfied with the service provided. When a company promises a maximum speed of up to 20 Mbit / s, in reality it is only 5-6 Mbit / s. This upsets the customers.
And from the next month, the speed drops to 300-400 Kbps. Any page on the Internet with such data transfer opens about a minute. As a result, many users even get the feeling that the company has a rule: in the first month after connecting, provide more or less high speed, and then reduce it as much as possible, thereby forcing to switch to more expensive tariffs.
This attitude towards their customers is openly outraged by many. There are still a lot of negative reviews about Tricolor TV.
Equipment
To use the services of a provider, you must connect the appropriate equipment. Which one you need to purchase depends on your needs. Are you going to just watch TV channels or will you still play computer games. Are you going to connect satellite internet? If necessary, in certain cases, you will need to purchase additional equipment.
The most common device that you absolutely need to receive a digital television signal, and then transmit it to the TV screen, is the receiver.
Without stocks, the cheapest set with a conditional access module will cost 4,990 rubles. In the reviews of the receiver for the Tricolor TV, users say that they necessarily purchase it with a plate, they install everything. Then they call the wizard, which connects and configures everything.
After about a year of virtually uninterrupted operation, serious problems begin that are connected with the receiver. Constantly there are updates for him, which in reality only go to the detriment of the equipment. In addition, the design is changing, which is why it is simply inconvenient to use the services. Over time, a new update package arrives, with which the receiver completely turns into a useless idle device.
In the reviews of Tricolor TV, some users note that when problems become systemic, they are actually forced to switch to another provider. They find in him much more comfortable conditions for virtually the same money. After that, they only regret that for such a long period they collaborated with the company, depriving themselves of the opportunity to use really high-quality services for the provision of television content.
Conditional Access Modules
In the reviews of the modules for Tricolor TV, customers say that the equipment itself is of a fairly high quality. Which, unfortunately, cannot be said about the work of the provider. In fact, a module is a plate into which a smart card of any digital satellite television operator is inserted. It can be installed in any TV with a corresponding slot, a built-in satellite receiver.
Users acknowledge that they have no complaints about the device itself, it is really high-quality. But when using it with the Tricolor TV provider, problems regularly arise, as a result of which channels get lost, their usual order is violated, and quality is reduced.
Because of this, it is increasingly possible to meet the opinions of customers who promise to swear that they will go to competitors as soon as possible.
Impressions of users about satellite television
It is with satellite television that most of the reviews about the work of this provider are connected. In HD reviews of Tricolor TV, users acknowledge that they get really high quality for relatively little money. The subscription fee is very democratic, at least for such a volume of services provided.
In addition, when connecting a satellite TV in Tricolor, in the reviews they pay special attention to it, there is no monthly fee. True, this can not be called a gift, since in reality it is included in the cost of equipment.
The packages have a large number of really interesting channels, almost around the clock you can find at least something interesting for yourself. In addition, the prevalence of this provider, which can be found anywhere in the Russian Federation, captivates.
Negative
Recently, the provider is increasingly promoting the satellite receiver on the market, designed to receive pictures in Full HD format. In reviews of "Tricolor TV" with this option there are constant problems. The model proposed by the company has not been finalized. When connecting this receiver, no one notices at least some improvement in the quality of the transmitted picture.
Neither numerous consultations, nor attempts to replace the cords with newer and clever ones help, the picture remains the same. In addition, the technique is very moody when receiving a signal: after a reboot, the settings and channel order are lost.
Problems constantly arise due to bad weather. In heavy snow and rain, the quality starts to deteriorate rapidly, the same thing happens with gusts of wind. The signal disappears, which is what viewers learn from TV screens together in order to watch their favorite shows. Most of the channels that are contained in each package are encoded, they must be paid separately. On some, in addition, they spin one advertisement around the clock.
A poor selection of channels in packages, especially compared to other providers, is noted by most Tricolor users and customers. In addition, the company is constantly setting excessive prices for Chinese-made equipment, which is frankly of poor quality.
In general, the company does not respect its subscribers, many users have already seen this. The policy of "Tricolor" is that they force subscribers to purchase new equipment, and at inflated prices. With the old technology, practically no channel works at all. In addition, the company regularly introduces new channel packages, canceling those that were before. At the same time, prices for new subscriptions increase significantly. The new packages promise that the number of channels will only increase, while they will be really interesting and in demand, but in reality the number is mainly growing due to the same type of “Shops on the Sofa”, which no one is watching anyway.
In some cities where satellite television is not as developed as in large settlements, people have to put up with the fact that they have no other options than to use the services of Tricolor TV. Therefore, they are still connected to this provider, although in recent years the quality of its work has deteriorated significantly. A lot of unflattering reviews about the company are connected with this.
