Internet access via usb-modem MTS

"Mobile Internet" - this relatively new concept means that the network is available and wirelessly both in the computer and in the cell phone. And all thanks to the miniature modem built into the flash card.

Today, the most common are not universal modems, but specialized usb devices, into which an ordinary phone SIM card is inserted. They are much cheaper. True, prices this year have increased significantly, but it's still very convenient to have a usb-modem of MTS. A significant disadvantage of specialized flash drives is that they can insert SIM cards from one operator.

Usb-modem MTS occupies a leading position in sales of this device. In the kit is sold a SIM card with a new phone number, which can be pulled out of the modem and inserted into the cell phone. And you can make calls directly from your computer through the software.

MTS usb-modem: installation

First, you need to insert a SIM card into the device, usually a specialist in the salon, where you buy a usb-modem. The device is inserted into the usb port. The "Setup Wizard" window appears immediately. To install the drivers and the program, you need to follow the instructions (agree to install). After the installation is complete, it is recommended that you restart the computer. On the desktop there will be a shortcut of programs with a convenient interface (additional tabs: sms, call, settings). Using the shortcut, you can open it and, by clicking the button, connect to the Internet.

Using the SIM card

The only unpleasant surprise that you will encounter when you insert a SIM card into your phone and say all the money on the account number is to establish the promised payment or you will not be able to establish a trust. For these tariffs, these services are not provided. It would be unprofitable for the company.

If you, on the contrary, insert another SIM card into the usb modem of MTS , money from the account will fly away instantly (in fact it is another tariff and the Internet fee in it is provided for astronomical).

Limits of the speed of devices from MTS

OJSC "Mobile Telesystems" today offers several sets called "MTS Connect", differing in the data transmission speed: up to 7.2 Mb / s, 14.4 Mb / s, 21.6 Mb / s.

There is also a device with WiFi, its price is quite high. This is a convenient device and an excellent alternative to wired access to the network and usb, if you always need the Internet for a minimum price and on several computers. The only downside is that the neighbors can use your WiFi point, although this task is not easy for them, because the coverage radius is only 50 m.

By purchasing usb modem MTS with a mark, for example, "up to 7.2 MB / s", do not count on this speed. The fact is that the indicators will depend on the particular place of use of the modem. In houses with thick walls, the high-speed maximum will be 1.4 Mb / s. But this is enough to communicate through video chat, watch movies, clips, download music and movies. Before you spend more money on the modem, find out how to "catch" the Internet in your home.

How to increase the speed

The simplest ways: to change the location and go online in a few hours loaded with telephone traffic: namely the day after 10 and the evening after 20.

You can also purchase an antenna for usb-modem mts. The speed will increase 2-4 times.

MTS-modem: reviews

Most users are outraged by the name of the tariffs: no-limit-Maxi, no-limit-Mini, no-limit-Super ... Restrictions still have a place to be. At the first tariff per day, you can download up to 500 MB, then the speed will be reduced so much (up to 64 Kb / s) that even the sites will "open" for a long time (5-7 minutes). At the second - up to 1 Gb, etc. And yet you should not slander the company in vain. After all, others in such cases simply block access to the network until the next day.

Of course, there are pluses. For example, service in OJSC MTS. Any question you can ask the consultant on the 24-hour telephone line indicated on the kit box. It is also possible to manage the tariff and account conveniently through the MTS website.
