How to check and replenish the balance of the Internet?

Most home Internet users do not even wonder where it comes from in the apartment. And why should you think about it, if you can just sit quietly there.

Where does the Internet come from?

But one needs to know, and this is quite certain: access to the Global Network can not be free. Even if you do not pay the first few months after the connection, it means that you have overpaid for installing the modem and setting up the router. In the end, the amount would have turned out to be exactly the same as if you were connected for free, and you would pay the subscription fee from the very first month.

In any case, it is important to remember: you are paying for your access to the World Wide Web, this can not be avoided. We will not take into account corporate tariffs on working computers, but we'll talk about your home and how to replenish your home Internet balance.

Important devices

Internet in your home computer does not come directly from the provider. In order for your browser to be able to download any page from the Web, you need to have a device at home that allows you to access the World Wide Web.

It can be a small modem that feeds gigabytes of information to your computer via a cable. It can also be a router, distributing "wi-fi" in the territory of your entire living space. This option that you connect to the unprotected "wifi" -terouter of your neighbor and shamelessly "eat" his traffic, we will not consider, we are decent people.

So, in order for any of your devices to access the Internet to work, it is necessary that the balance of the Internet be positive. This rule is no different from the principle of a debit card or a mobile phone account with a prepaid balance.

Two ways to withdraw money from an account

To know how much money you need to replenish the balance of the Internet, it is important to ask your provider how the money will be debited from your account. There can be two options:

• You pay for the month, this amount is withdrawn on the first day, and you use the Internet before the beginning of the next billing period;
• You put any amount on the account, the money is withdrawn every day in small amounts in equal portions so that at the end of the month in the amount from the account your subscription fee was withdrawn.

The first option is good because you, once replenished home Internet balance, do not remember about it until next month. But in the second case you can put a smaller amount on the account. For example, replenish the balance of the Internet just a week ahead, then go on vacation and do not pay money for nothing.

Usually this information is better to be learned at the stage of choosing the provider. Almost all Internet service providers offer roughly the same rates and rates. The features of reducing your account can be a decisive factor when choosing.

But if you did not learn about this in advance and have already connected - it does not matter. All information about your connection is available on the provider's website, just go to the Internet office: balance, tariff name, number of your account - all this can be found there.

How to login to your account

When you connect services, you sign a contract. It lists your account (it is also called a personal number) and the password for connecting the Internet. The first numbers are usually your login, and the password from the network is your password from the personal cabinet.

In the same place in the contract you will find the address of the site of the provider. Go to it and find the button "Enter the Personal Area". Then enter your login and password - and you will be inside, on your personal page.

How to check the balance of the Internet

Usually, these data appear immediately after entering the office. But in some cases the provider's site is arranged so that to display information, you should click the corresponding button.

If you did not see the status of your account immediately after logging in, the button with the inscription "Account status" will help you to check the balance of the Internet. It can also be called "Balance" or "Personal Data".

If you still disconnected for non-payment, call your provider's hotline. And then with the help of the keys indicated in the menu you will be able to listen to information about your account. This is the easiest and most affordable way to find out the balance on the Internet. But for this, be sure to hammer your service provider's number into the phone book.

Methods of replenishment

Their number depends on your provider. Many service providers are ready to take money from your bank card. Some of them will also not be against your electronic money: wallets "WebMoney", "Yandex", "Kiwi" and others.

In these ways, you can increase your balance without paying a commission. Additional fees will be charged to you by the terminals. Almost in every store there are devices for payment. Usually, they replenish the accounts of mobile phones. But also there you can pay internet. Of course, if your provider wants to appear in the list of services on the terminal.

The commission at payment through the terminal can be fixed, and can depend on the sum. In any case, be careful if you decide to replenish the balance of the Internet through such a terminal. This way you can use only if you have disabled the Internet for non-payment, and you need to urgently return it.

Paying a bank card is not as bad as it seems the first time. Many are afraid that their data will go somewhere, all means and other terrible options will be stolen. We are happy to assure you that the payment for the Internet (as well as other services) is protected, and your accounts, card number and name will not reach third parties.

The payment itself is made on the bank's website, and there everything is protected above measure. But if you do not trust this method, but still want to replenish the balance quickly and without commission, you can create a separate card for online purchases. This is a very popular option, because on the Internet you can pay not only the provider's services, but also order food delivery, buy clothes and products, pay movie tickets and many more.

A separate card will allow you to feel protected and not afraid to lose all your savings. Refill it from your salary account by ordinary transfer. In order to do this without commission, it is better to create a card from the same bank.

To replenish the balance of the Internet with electronic money, those who have savings on their account "Webmoney" or "Kiwi" will be able to replenish the Internet. Especially replenish these wallets to pay for the Internet there is no sense: the commission for replenishment can be very large. Usually electronic money is available to those who work at the computer: freelancers, copywriters, designers, programmers. They receive payment for the purse and spend money on the home Internet. In such a case, it is important to earn much more than the monthly fee for the services of the provider.

Have you decided to replenish the balance via the Internet? Excellent!

Always keep your account with the provider positive. After all, if you turn off the Internet for non-payment, how can you replenish it on the site?

Therefore, it is better to pay once a month on strictly fixed days. For example, immediately after the salary. Got it - put on the balance of the Internet exactly the amount that is needed for quiet use until next month.

If you have a smartphone with access to the network, be sure to bookmark the phone browser bookmarks of your provider's website. With it, you can pay for the Internet if you go into the negative on your home computer. It's a little inconvenient - to enter data from the phone and replenish the balance, but sometimes there is simply no other way out.
