High-speed Internet service is offered by all current cellular network operators . Such a service is connected to a laptop, tablet or personal computer via a modem. The mobile operator "Tele2" offers modems of various formats - 3G and 4G: similar Tele2 modems with tariffs are one of the most profitable offers on the market - the cost of the gadget is low, the monthly fee is acceptable, and the amount of traffic allocated monthly for use is enough for comfortable work in the Internet. If the monthly limit is over, then the operator provides an opportunity to increase it by several megabytes, which is very convenient.
3G and 4G modems: what is it?
Such devices are routers that distribute Internet traffic through a Wi-Fi network. The indisputable advantage of modems is the ability to work from one SIM card with a connection via usb port to a personal computer or any other gadget. Unlike standard routers tied to a specific place in the room, such modems are mobile: they can not only be transferred from room to room, but also taken on trips. The cost of modems varies from one to several thousand rubles. However, the exact price is best to find out from the mobile operator that provides similar services and implement devices.
High Speed Internet Coverage Regions
Before buying a Tele2 USB modem, it is advisable to find out if a 3G or 4G network for using the Internet extends to the geographical area of residence. You can obtain relevant information by calling the operator at toll free number 611.
- The 3G network has a larger geographic distribution due to its earlier appearance. The only negative - coverage networks may not be in remote regions of the country.
- Despite the fact that the 4G network appeared relatively recently, its coverage is increasing. The network covers large regions and cities of the country, and the majority of owners of 4G Tele2 modems use it.
You can check the coverage area of the region not only by calling the operator, but also online on one of Tele2's services, and such information will be more accurate.
Delivery set of the Tele2 modem
The complete set of the device includes:
- SIM card with the connected tariff “Internet for devices” and the service “Internet suitcase”. The service is free for the first 14 days, after which the subscription fee begins.
- USB cable for connecting a Tele2 modem.
- Hand strap for carrying the modem.
You do not need to additionally configure the Tele2 modem to use traffic - the necessary data and settings for accessing the Internet are available by default. The software is automatically installed on a personal computer the first time the modem is connected to it. Internet access is immediately available, after which, in a special program of the Tele2 modem, you can monitor the statistics of access to the network - activation time, traffic and the amount of downloaded / uploaded content.
Which modem to choose: 3G or 4G?
The main difference between the two types of networks is the connection speed: for 3G it is 21 MV / s, for 4G - 100 MV / s for downloading and 11 MV / s and 50 MV / s for return. There is no special need to purchase a Tele2 4G modem if the user is limited to standard traffic, browsing sites on the Web or sitting on social networks, since the speed of the 3G modem is more than enough. If an Internet connection is required to solve more serious problems and to maintain a better ping in online games, then it is better to purchase the appropriate modem and 4G tariff.
The cost of Tele2 modems
The prices for modems produced by Tele2 are very different, due to the difference in connection speed:
- 3G modem will cost 1,100 rubles;
- 4G modem can be purchased for 2,500 rubles.
