mobile communications

Of course, there are more competitive operators in Russia, but the company also has its own regular customers, who praise the call quality and the ability to use the operator's offers to suit their needs.

Thanks to the possibility of purchasing not only tariff plans, but also special equipment, the company allows subscribers to use its network with maximum comfort.

Good news!
Despite some problems described below, our company offers Skylink Internet connection in the Moscow region - even in those areas where it is not possible to communicate using 3G and 4G (LTE) technologies from Megafon, MTS and Beeline!

In addition, when installing our equipment, you (if desired) will. average speed information reception - 10-20 Mbit/s, which is much faster and cheaper compared to satellite internet- the only alternative in the absence of coverage from the Big Three operators.

Well, now a little about last year’s problems that we (thanks to close cooperation with the operator itself) managed to solve.

Recently, more and more Internet users from Skylink in the Moscow region began to ask questions about the decrease in the level and quality of the signal, and sometimes due to its complete absence. On the forums you can also find a lot of discussions on topics such as “Sky Link is closing?”, “Where else can you connect a Skylink modem?”, “Sky Link does not work,” have Skylink and Tele-2 merged?”
The most logical thing would be to look for answers to these questions on the official Skylink website (msk.skylink.ru). However, it seems that the administration of the web resource does not bother with such trifles. But on the main page it is stated that the Skylink LTE-450 Network will appear in Moscow from July 1 (the year, unfortunately, is not specified). What prospects for residents of the Moscow region have to use fast Internet is also not entirely clear - on the Skylink coverage map located at the bottom of the site it is difficult to distinguish between “Current” and “Planned” coverage, and moreover, planning periods are not indicated...

Even more confusing is the optimistic statement that:
"...Skylink is one of the oldest Russian mobile operators, which in 2016 began providing high-speed mobile Internet access services in the modern LTE 4G standard at a frequency of 450 MHz. This technology provides wide coverage and stable signal reception even in difficult geographical conditions and remote areas..."
That is, it “started”, but not, as usual, from Moscow and the Moscow region, but somewhere else...

But not everything is so bad - future Skylink clients who want to receive “Fast Internet”, which is “Always with you”, can already order (in advance):
branded 4G routers at a price of 9-10 thousand rubles,
directional antennas for 2 thousand and
subscribe to the very favorable Skylink “Promo” tariff with a monthly subscription fee of 990 rubles until September 30, 2016. and included traffic volume of 8 GB + 12 kopecks for each over-limit megabyte...
(For reference: Movies in HD quality already take up 15-20 gigabytes or more).

Wikipedia’s opinion on the quality of communication from Sky Link does not add optimism:
"...Since January 2016, the operator's signal has been significantly reduced, which is why problems have arisen with the use of the CDMA network, the operator convinces that this is due to wear and tear of the equipment, but the network will not be closed... It is interesting that the operator himself claims to maintain lengthy and extremely complex repairs and it’s not a fact that the network will work normally afterwards..." (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Link).

In such an uncertain situation, what should the clients of this operator or those who are just about to connect to the Internet from Skylink do?
Firstly, keep in mind that there is no such mobile operator on the mobile communications market (only trademark), so look carefully at who you will enter into an agreement with.
Secondly, keep in mind that most equipment operating on Sky Link networks is not compatible with standard communications devices. That is, if the 4G Internet signal operating at a frequency of 450 MHz suddenly disappears or weakens, you will not be able to simply change the Skylink SIM card, for example, to Megafon and configure the antenna to receive from another tower.

And it's best to buy universal equipment, working, if not with all, then with the absolute majority of mobile operators. At the same time, antennas, modems, routers, etc. devices must provide maximum speed receiving/transmitting information and working equally well in 3G and 4G networks.
Particular attention should be paid to the proposed tariffs. If you are asked to install LTE internet, providing a reception speed of 100 Mbit, with monthly limit in 8 GB, then this means that such fast internet you will have enough for 640 seconds! It doesn’t hurt to estimate how much it will cost, for example, “12 kopecks for each over-limit megabyte” - more than a ruble per second, or more than three thousand rubles per hour!

However, in such a short article it is impossible to consider all the nuances that should be taken into account when connecting wireless internet in outskirts of Moscow. Therefore, if you are a subscriber of Skylink (or any other operator), and the Internet has stopped working for you, then just call our company’s technical support service and we will help solve your problems!

I read reviews about SkyLink and thought that most likely everything had changed, since most of the reviews were outdated. Since my previous provider eventually drove me crazy with the speed of 1 Mbits when the stated 20 Mbits, I decided to change to SkyLink. I called a specialist to check the Internet speed directly at home, the young man insisted on coming in the morning. I arrived, showed him, everything works - somewhere the speed is 13 Mbits, and somewhere 33 Mbits. I paid for the router more than 3000 rubles and unlimited tariff 1200 rubles, and in the evening I understood why the young man insisted on coming in the morning - in the evening the speed dropped below 1 Mbits... And so every day, in the morning the speed is normal, but in the evening it drops. It’s bad, but better than with the previous provider, in principle you can adapt.

In less than 1.5 weeks, the speed around the clock became 500 kbps! I endured it for three days, today I called the contact center. Employee Roman replied that the speed dropped due to large quantity users in the area where I am and the network is working fine. In response to my question, how did it happen that for 1.5 weeks the network could cope with the load, and three days ago all the users simultaneously decided to get on the Internet and were using it intensively for three days without breaks for lunch, he politely but impudently expressed surprise, which I am indignant at - everything works, just a lot of users. And, of course, he could not answer when this would stop... When asked if I could return the router if I wanted to stop using the services, he asked whether the router was working and answered that no, I couldn’t, because it was bad the quality of the Internet is not a reason to return the router. It turns out that the reason is not the lack of a developed network that can cope with the load, but we ourselves, the SkyLink users who pay them money, are ourselves to blame for the fact that we do not have the Internet. What did you want, pay money and get reliable internet? - not in SkyLink!

Seriously, read the reviews carefully, I checked it for myself - if people write, then there is a reason. Don’t buy SkyLink, you’ll just waste your money, it’s better to buy candy for your children or donate it to charity if you have extra. Choose wisely. Whom? - Unfortunately, I don’t know yet; If I find it, I'll write...

Today, many people don’t even think about how often they use the Internet in everyday life. Access to the World Wide Web can be for any reason: chatting with friends, listening to music, finding out the recipe for your favorite dish, ordering movie tickets, etc. Of course, gigabytes are flowing away one after another, and at a certain moment you have to think: what tariff to choose in order to save your personal funds as much as possible? For its subscribers, the Skylink provider, also an alternative operator of the Moscow company Tele2, offered optimal conditions that meet all modern requirements. After update tariff line Several favorable tariffs have appeared at once, but “Skylink XL” is of particular interest - a completely unlimited tariff for free Internet surfing.

Skylink was once a fairly large operator. Its coverage area, although inferior to its competitors, was wide. Over time, his star faded; today he operates in only four regions. And to be honest, it was he who became the first 3G operator in Russia, albeit in a different range. Let's see how Skylink Internet works today and under what conditions.

First, let's name the main advantages of Skylink:
Affordable tariffs - it acts as a kind of discounter.
Powerful coverage map - the operator works where others do not work. Its base stations cover vast areas.

Safety for humans is associated with the use of safe frequencies. They always cursed at the frequencies 800, 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz - they say they are too high frequency , the influence on a person is too great. And this is true, because no one doubts the harmfulness of microwave radiation from microwave ovens. Almost all stoves operate at a frequency of 2450 MHz, negatively affecting living tissue.

GSM networks are no less harmful, although the frequencies and power there are lower. Skylink operates at a frequency of 450 MHz. Several years ago, it used the CDMA-450 standard, which was (and is) considered secure. But he failed to overcome GSM operators. Over time, the operator closed its towers, remaining in the Moscow, Leningrad, Tver and Novgorod regions. In 2016, Skylink launched networks in the LTE-450 standard, providing high-speed unlimited internet

the most remote corners in the regions of its activity. Services under the Skylink brand are provided by the operator cellular communications

Tele2.

Coverage area First, let's take a look at the Skylink coverage map. Here we see powerful coverage in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, as well as in Moscow and the Moscow region. In the Tver and Novgorod regions the coating is torn, but each base station

In their reviews, users were divided into two almost equal camps. Some praise the 4G networks from Tele2 and Skylink, others criticize them. The biggest hit comes from the slightly buggy Skylink H1 router. As for negative reviews, their appearance is quite understandable - the congestion of networks at one point or another, as well as the nature of the propagation of radio waves, is affected, which is why the speed begins to fluctuate.

You can use the Internet from Skylink in many other regions - this Krasnodar region, Rostov region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and other places where 4G networks operate (and under the same conditions as in the home zone!).

Purchase of equipment and SIM cards

You can purchase routers supporting LTE 450 Skylink in Tele2 branded stores and its online store, as well as in Skylink branded stores. Buyers have a choice of three routers for Internet access:

Skylink H1 is a stationary device, suitable for home and garden use.
Skylink V-FL500 is the second stationary router, attractive due to the presence of a backup battery if the power supply suddenly goes out (this is quite normal outside the city).
Skylink M1 is a small, pocket-sized, battery-powered router designed for travelers.

The estimated cost of routers for the Internet is from 3150 to 3500 rubles. Check prices in stores and online stores of the Skylink and Tele2 brands.

Tariff plans

Let's return closer to the Internet, or rather to tariff plans. Skylink and its Internet tariffs excite with unlimited Internet. Truly unlimited with no strings attached. There are four tariffs in total:

Skylink S – 8 GB for 490 rub./month.
Skylink L – 15 GB for 790 rub./month.

A day online – 49 rubles/day.

If the limit is exceeded, traffic costs 6 kopecks/MB for the first TP and 5 kopecks/MB for the second TP. But the activation of additional traffic can be prohibited through your personal account.

And here’s a little life hack for you - we buy a router with a Skylink SIM card in one of the regions with LTE-450 and use real unlimited 4G networks in other regions.
