Mobile Internet

Evgeny Sementsov, 2012-01-28 19:59:15

I want to choose the operator of the big three. The Internet is one of the important parameters.
Who has experience? How is 3G coverage and what is the speed there?
Let's say MTS has a BIT , but it's not clear how convenient it is to use it - because. There are traffic limits per hour. I am interested in opening sites, using applications on a symbian smartphone (vkontakte, icq, skype). In the current realities of the video I'm not going to watch.
There is also such a thing as Opera Mini, it slightly compresses traffic - I would like to hear how much it helps.

Interested in the Moscow region.

I use BIT from MTS on a symbian smartphone via Opera Mobile (without page compression, with JavaScript and other goodies). I don't download very much, but sometimes I include pictures. The first limitation (128 Kbps) does not interfere. I don't get to the second one (64 Kbps). In the 3G coverage area, I have quite comfortable surfing and ICQ (I use Talkonaut). True, downloading files larger than 2-3 megabytes is no longer very convenient.
I recommend using BIT if you do not plan to download large files, in most cases surfing without pictures is enough for you, you fit into the second tariff limit (70 MB per day) and you are usually in the 3G coverage area.
Opera Mini compresses traffic very well, significantly increases the download speed. The only negative is that all JavaScript works on the server side, any action (for example, voting on Habré) causes a page reload on the phone, and it becomes impossible to use some sites with fancy JS. In addition, Opera Mobile has Opera Turbo mode, which works the same way as in the desktop version. It saves bandwidth to a lesser extent than Opera Mini, but retains full functionality (except for the loss in image quality).

I will say for a megaphone, I use 512 kb / s for 150 rubles / month with a limit of 1 GB per month. It is much more convenient hourly, even allows you to watch SD video by caching. If applications are not updated via 3G, it is enough for a month.
I think these conditions are much more convenient than, say, with an hourly limit.

Comparing Megafon and Beeline in Moscow and the nearest suburbs - definitely Megafon. The coverage area is larger, the price is lower, the speeds are higher.

I use BIT from MTS. I'm in St. Petersburg, but in Moscow time the conditions seem to be the same. There is nothing to complain about, I rarely exceed the hourly limit (when I download heavy applications or watch YouTube). The daily allowance has never been exceeded.
Why use Opera Mini, is there a full-fledged one for Symbian? There, too, there is a Turbo function that squeezes traffic. Yes, it works, saves bandwidth (always) and loads faster (almost always).

I use Beeline, tariff "Monster of communication +", with the option "Unlimited Internet at a discount". Total - 7r per day (1 GB of traffic for a month, after which the speed is cut to 64 kbps). 3G in Moscow in the north of Moscow is almost everywhere, in the south there are many gaps, often drops out in EDGE. But if 3G is on, then the speed is very decent. Unfortunately, I have never met 3G in the region (north and south of the region), only the usual EDGE :(

I have the option Unlimited-mini (MTS SPb). 50 rubles more expensive than BIT, but much more favorable conditions, now you can safely read the Habr, a message about the excess traffic immediately popped up on BIT.

Many tariffs have a clause - the Internet is unlimited up to the first gigabyte of traffic per month (this number may vary). I saw truly unlimited mobile Internet only at Megafon, it costs as much as 549 rubles / month, and that is, there is one caveat - after 10 GB / month. speed is limited to 128 kbps

I use Bilay on Ipad, the Hay-Way tariff is 20GB, the speed is normal, the night traffic unlimited, in principle, is enough for a month, I pay 500 rubles per month. If anything, there are other Hay-Way fares, they are cheaper.
