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.

Adoption of the LTE-450 communication standard

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 to the most remote corners in the regions of its operation.

Services under the Skylink brand are provided by the cellular operator 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 coverage is torn, but each base station covers a fairly decent area. Bringing Internet Skylink to your dacha is an excellent solution if you want to weed the beds, recording your achievements on social networks.

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

Buy routers from LTE support 450 Skylink is available 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 more precisely, 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.
  • Skylink XL – unlimited for 1190 rubles/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 you are small life hack– 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.

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 updating the tariff line, several appeared at once favorable tariffs, but of particular interest is “Skylink XL” - completely unlimited tariff for free Internet surfing.

Non-burnable Internet balances are valid on Skylink S and Skylink L tariffs. If you are the owner of the first tariff plan, you have 8 GB at your disposal every month, if you have the second one – 15 GB. It is likely that these considerable volumes will not be used up by you in full within 30 days, which means that you can use them (and, in addition, receive a new package) next month.

Along with the update tariff schedule Skylink's coverage area has recently increased. Almost 98% of residents of Moscow and the Moscow, as well as Leningrad, Novgorod and Tver regions can connect to the services of this provider.

Difficulties in connecting to Skylink and purchasing necessary equipment, according to the provider, this should not occur.
