Notes:

* Data transfer rates shown are the maximum available. The actual speed depends on various external factors and may vary. See note 4.

1. The Subscriber can pay for the Services by purchasing and activating Unified Payment Cards (UCO) and/or using electronic payment terminals, and/or at the cash desks of VimpelCom OJSC, and/or at the cash desks of dealers, the list and addresses of which are indicated on the website www.beeline.ru. If there are insufficient funds in the Subscriber’s “Personal Account” to debit funds in accordance with the terms of the Subscriber’s tariff plan, the provision of the Service is terminated, including interruption of the current Internet access session. To resume using the Service, the Subscriber must replenish the “Personal Account” over the next 6 months in an amount not less than the amount of the Subscription payment provided for by the tariff plan chosen by the Subscriber; the resumption of the provision of the Service is carried out within 15 minutes after replenishing the “Personal Account”.

If the provision of services was terminated due to a lack of funds in the Subscriber’s “Personal Account” and was not renewed within 6 months from the date of termination of the provision of Services, the Agreement is considered terminated by the Parties, and the obligations of the Parties are terminated. The account (login and password) is deleted from the system.
When switching to another tariff plan, the payment previously made by the Subscriber as a Subscription fee under this tariff plan is calculated in proportion to the time of using the Service. The portion of the Subscription fee remaining on the date of change in the tariff plan remains in the Subscriber’s “Personal Account” and is debited according to the terms of the new tariff plan.

2. The subscription fee is indicated for the billing period, which is 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date of connection to the Service, and is debited from the “personal account” once at the beginning of the billing period. The beginning of the billing period is indicated in the Personal Account on the Services website. If the Services are provided to the Subscriber during an incomplete billing period, the Subscription fee for the Services for the specified billing period is calculated in proportion to the number of calendar days during which the Service was provided to the Subscriber. The Subscription fee includes the fee for using the technical resources of the Telecom Operator's network. In case of blocking/termination of Services, the billing period begins to count from the date of resumption of Services.

3. Voluntary blocking - suspension of the provision of Services under the Agreement upon a written application from the Subscriber. The Subscriber has the right to repeat voluntary blocking no earlier than 30 days after the last unblocking, by checking in the Subscriber’s Personal Account. In this case, voluntary blocking is possible for a period of no more than 90 days. Voluntary blocking is carried out within 15 minutes from the moment the Subscriber sends an application for blocking after confirmation of receipt of the application by the systems of OJSC VimpelCom.

4. The speed of access to the Internet depends not only on the technical features of the service provided by OJSC VimpelCom, but also on the actions of third telecom operators, organizations and individuals managing segments of the Internet that do not belong to OJSC VimpelCom. The speed of access to the Internet is an uncertain value and depends on a number of parameters, including the technical characteristics of connecting these points, the route and the current load of channels. All parameters are variable and are not guaranteed by VimpelCom OJSC outside its network.
1 kbps = 1000 bps, 1 Mbps = 1000 kbps, 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps.

5. If the provision of Services was terminated due to a lack of funds in the subscriber’s “Personal Account” and was not resumed after 120 days from the date of termination of the provision of Services by VimpelCom OJSC, a subscription fee for the use of technical equipment will be charged once every 30 days. network resources.
Accounting for data connections is subject to rounding the volume of transferred data to the nearest kilobyte.
1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes, 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB, 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB.

6. The tariff plan requires mandatory setup of an Internet connection using the L2TP protocol. L2TP connection is not available on Windows 98, ME operating systems.

The subscriber is obliged to maintain a positive balance of the “Personal Account” by monthly replenishing the “Personal Account” no later than the start date of the billing period.

Information about payments and statistics on the use of Services by the Subscriber is stored on the server and is available for viewing in the Subscriber’s Personal Account.

Prices and tariffs are indicated in rubles including VAT.

Services are provided by OJSC VimpelCom.
Services are licensed, equipment is certified.

Today I was pleasantly pleased Beeline, demonstrating that the company cares about each client and is able to reduce (!!!) the subscription fee by more than half, while significantly increasing the speed of Internet access. But first things first. I have been a Beeline subscriber for many years and am quite satisfied with both the quality of mobile communications and mobile Internet, and the quality of wired Home Internet. Let's talk about the latter. The subscription fee for my unlimited TP was 450 rubles/month. for 30 Mbit/s using L2TP technology. For tariff plans with higher speeds (40-100 Mbit/s), prices started from 490 rubles/month. up to 875 rub./month. Since a speed of 30 Mbit/s was more than enough for me to surf comfortably and watch online movies, I saw no point in switching to a more expensive TP, and the subscription fee of 450 rubles. was not an invoice.

When I went to the official Beeline website today to pay my next subscription fee, I was curious to see that the company has three new unlimited tariffs with a lower subscription fee: 345 Special 25 Mbit/s L2TP, 400 Special 30 Mbit/s L2TP and 400 Mono 40 Mbit/s L2TP. The tariffs interested me because they were cheaper and had better speed, and I didn’t see the point in overpaying. It was impossible to automatically change the TP to a cheaper one from the subscriber’s personal account, so I called technical support. support and the girl promised to reconnect.

However, time passed and nothing happened... And then the phone rang, a Moscow number appeared on the screen. At the other end of the line, a person introducing himself as Beeline's customer relations director asked about my application and asked what conditions would be acceptable for me? I said that the girl promised to transfer me to a TP with a subscription fee of 400 rubles per month, but a lot of time passed and nothing changed. And then the girl director apologized for her employee and suggested that I reduce the subscription fee to 195 rubles per month and almost double the speed to 50 Mbit/s. At first I couldn’t believe my ears and asked a question, like, where is the dog buried and what are the pitfalls? Moreover, there is no such tariff plan either on the official website or anywhere else. Or has the New Year already come to reduce the price by more than half and increase the speed? The answer pleased me. They thanked me for my active participation in the life of the Kaliningrad blogosphere, noting that Beeline constantly cooperates with active bloggers, as well as for choosing Beeline for many years. Therefore, this special rate is only available to regular customers and friends. In general, thanks to Beeline for such amenities!

Beeline is a provider of home Internet, digital television and telephony in St. Petersburg. Takes 3rd position in the rating of broadband operators. It has been operating in the market since 2006, acquiring Corbina Telecom (Corbina), then independently building and developing a fiber optic network in the city. In 2014, Beeline bought and merged the companies PushkinInternet, Amsterdam Telecom and ELTEL (Eltel), thereby significantly expanding its subscriber base of individuals and legal entities; increased the coverage area to 8,500 houses in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. In addition to standard tariff plans, a convergent product was launched in the spring, which provides for the simultaneous availability of mobile and fixed-line communications in the tariff, which allows you to manage a single account, more effectively control costs and receive a discount on the entire range of services.

The cat and I a little “dispersed” the twisted pair cable that came into the apartment

It is usually believed that the “ceiling” of DSL is 20-30 Mbit/s, FTTB (fiber to the building plus twisted pair to the apartment) is 100 Mbit/s, and PON supports speeds above 100 megabits. My colleagues and I decided to dispel the myths and “overclock” FTTB for a single provider.

The first thing we did was climb into the attic of the house. Already, at least 1 Gbit/s is coming to every home, and the home node has a suitable gigabit “copper” port. That is, we can simply take and switch any apartment where our cable is located to a suitable port and provide faster speeds 400 Mbps.

Actually, we have already done this as part of beta tests, and recently we launched commercial services in Moscow with new speeds. Yes, you can most likely connect.

What was that, cap?

Our backbone and city networks have a reserve of free capacity that significantly exceeds the needs of customers even during hours of the highest, maximum possible load. Take, for example, the New Year holiday, beloved by me and my cat, on which those grandmothers who have already made friends with the Internet and Skype receive more congratulations.

What is the difference with PON

The fact is that our FTTB network, which allows us to do all this, already exists. No modifications required. The cable already enters your apartment. All the wires are there. The optics reach nodes in homes. You just need to take and switch the cable to another port on the switch. All! Such a channel is already approaching you, but you didn’t know about it. And PON needs to be built - this is new infrastructure throughout the city. There is another ambush - optical cores diverge from regional PBXs, which require proprietary client devices. But with a regular FTTB network, you can use anything. Although there are few devices adapted for L2TP.

How it works

A large transport canal comes from the main ring to the city level. Further around the city there are several large rings. From them there are smaller rings or mesh structures, “stars” are made at the entrance level. There are optical transport links from the first level to the closet in the entrance. On the access level switch, we reconnect the cable to a gigabit port... and that’s it, we now have a gigabit link to the client.

These are the results of my colleague without a cat, but with Wi-Fi (801.11 ac).

Technical feasibility

After I was able to test this at several points, we installed such links for all company employees working on the project. Quite quickly, I must say. There are almost no technical limitations: the only thing is that there are literally a couple of dozen blocks in Moscow where the equipment needs to be slightly modernized, but we are already working on this.

More restrictions

You will laugh, but we have not found ways to utilize such speeds. So, it turned out that such a channel can only be filled with very specific tasks - this is either CCTV from a bunch of cameras, or HD video for all family members at the same time, or the tasks of a photographer uploading pictures somewhere. Also – network drives. In general, with the exception of torrents, it’s a provider’s dream: the client once a day makes a “bang” with a heavy file and is wildly happy.

But a number of other things have arisen that directly relate to marketing. First, almost all resources deliver content much slower than the channel can receive. This is the eternal problem “why is my Internet slow, but tests show normal speed.” Because we need resources that can provide content to a large number of clients at high speed. So someone will have to give up illusions; not every resource meets these requirements.
100Mbit/s is already a very fast Internet connection for the vast majority of users. Even higher speeds may be required for those who have to work with very large files.


Everything in this photo is correct, including the router

The link to the desktop or laptop must be copper - Wi-Fi, especially in the presence of interference from other networks, simply will not allow the channel to be distributed at such a speed. Therefore, the best option is a desktop on a cable, tablets and phones over the air.

The end devices themselves can also cut traffic. Naturally, you must have a device that supports 400 Mbps (router or network card). In beta, however, a couple of surprises were revealed with the fact that not all devices can actually handle such traffic, despite statements about this.

Tests

This is where the fun begins. We took 10 high-performance devices with L2TP support.

Gigabit is fast, especially for home use, so routers must be appropriate. I’ll say right away that it was not possible to cover all models and quickly test them, so we focused on supporting a gigabit connection, dual-band Wi-Fi and good reviews from users.

Our shortlist:
Asus RT-68U
D-Link DIR 825 D1
Pre-sale sample from new manufacturer Totolink
Zyxel Keenetic Ultra
Apple Air port Time capsule

Once I tested the devices according to our checklists in the office, it was time to test the devices in the field, here you can evaluate the real performance of the device.

For this action, I tried to prepare thoroughly, took a MacBook Pro 15 retina (late 2012) - my main work laptop, plugged a 128GB SSD into a separate desktop and connected the Asus PCE-AC68 Wi-Fi adapter to the pile so that nothing would interfere with overclocking, also I took the Totolink A2000UA USB Wi-Fi adapter with 802.11ac support just in case. In addition, I brought an iPad mini, iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy note - we will test Wi-Fi on them.

To check the speed, in addition to the usual resources, such as speedtest, file downloading, I installed Iperf on one of our servers connected via a gigabit link to our core network. It seems like everything turned out something like this:

A little about the test methodology

In many router reviews that I have seen, stands with programs for generating traffic are usually assembled. We decided to do it differently: to conduct testing the same way a subscriber would do when checking the speed of our Internet access.
The main tools were:
1) Speedtest.net – you can’t live without it
2) Mirror.yandex.ru
3) Iperf – a little synthetics
4) Youtube

The list is small, but on these resources you can evaluate how fast Internet access works, so to speak, a natural product and no synthetics.

Let's start testing

First, let's see which Wi-Fi networks are already nearby

“People’s” 2.4GHz band – no more and no less

5GHz - we even got here, but there are not many networks, two of them are ours

Asus RT-68U


Top router from Asus. The hardware of the device inspires respect: a chip from Broadcom BCM4708A, 256MB RAM, 128MB Flash, support for 802.11ac and Beamforming is present.

Patch cord: speed test showed 224Mbps for download and 196Mbps for Upload

Good result, we continue testing, Iperf is next.

The unexpected happened during this test. Either the router started to glitch, or iperf, but the results did not rise above 50Mbps. It's okay, let's look at a more vital test - downloading a file from Yandex.

Almost 35MB per second!

I ran the tests a few more times, then decided to clean the SSD; at such speeds it quickly clogged.

Now let's take a look at how fast Wi-Fi works. Wireless networking is a tricky thing, and many factors can affect the final performance. The laptop was located 4 meters from the router in a straight line.

The speed test showed almost 165Mbps on Download and 166 on Upload. Worthy! Especially when it comes to the 2.4GHz band

Iperf showed similar values:

Let's switch now to 5GHz. Since the router can work with 802.11ac, but my work Macbook does not, I connected an external adapter that supports 802.11ac 2x2.

The connection was successful... Let's take a look at the speed test:

209Mbps on Download 111 on Upload, most likely 210Mbps is the current ceiling for router performance over L2TP. Let's hope that Asus will fix this in new firmware.

Iperf showed even lower results:

D-Link Dir 825 D1

Next in line is the representative of the mid-price range D-Link DIR825. The router is equipped with a Dual-Band Wi-Fi module, which is currently rare for the mid-price range. Let's see what this router is capable of.

Connection via patch cord

Let's move on to testing the Wi-Fi network. The router has two Airgain antennas, so I expect high speeds over Wi-Fi as well.

For a network operating in the 2.4GHz range:

This frequency is maximally loaded, so this result was, in principle, expected. How will 5GHz manifest itself?

130-150Mbps. When tinkering with the settings in detail, it turned out that if you disable Wi-Fi network encryption, performance increases. Of course, I didn’t discover America, but I didn’t find such a pattern on other routers.

Let's move on to the next test subject - Totolink

This router has similar characteristics to the D-Link DIR 825, they are built on the same SoC - RTL8197D, but in this router the radio module supports 802.11ac. It will be interesting to evaluate its capabilities in real conditions.

Patch cord:

Eh... okay, I'll leave it without comment.

We are getting closer to reality.

To be honest, I didn’t think that the “old man” RTL8197D was capable of pumping L2TP through itself at such speeds. This makes the results of Wi-Fi network testing more interesting.

“People’s” frequency – 2.4GHz

Both speedtest and iperf showed almost identical results.
At 5GHz the speed should be prohibitive! Maybe…

But no, although the connection showed that the connection was established at a speed of 867Mbps.

Iperf is trying to bring him down to the ground, and he is doing well.

Our latest marathon participant is Zyxel Keenetic Ultra

A popular model among L2TP devices. It accelerates well and works stably. We connect the patch cord and run the speed test:

And I’ll download the Fedora distribution, which has already become native for the duration of the tests:

Unfortunately, this model from Zyxel does not support 802.11ac, so I will be content with 802.11n. Let's get started!

Let's look at 5GHz

Neither more nor less – standard. This situation did not suit me, and I decided to connect a new Time Capsule with support for 802.11ac (very conventional for the PCT model) to the router.

Here! It’s a pity that manufacturers don’t include a time capsule with their routers.

What if you measure the speed on a phone/tablet?

Most users, especially those who are not familiar with the methodologies of various performance tests, simply launch the application on their phone. I'll do that too.

There was an iPhone, tablet and Android phone available. There is no point in testing the connection on each router, so I settled on the latest router model.

For 2.4GHz and 5GHz, respectively, here we have hit the performance ceiling of the Wi-Fi module on the phone. Devices on Android showed approximately the same results, while on a tablet this speed was obtained when connected to a network at 5GHz; at 2.4GHz it will most likely be lower:

Well, tests on the street:

What happened?

The process of testing the new service greatly fascinated my cat and me, so in the end we tested 10 routers from different manufacturers, price categories with different “stuffing”. Here are the most interesting:
  • Zyxel Keenetic Ultra
  • D-Link DIR825
  • Toto-Link
  • Asus RT-68U
  • Zyxel Keenetic Giga II
  • TP-Link Archer C7 v.1
  • D-Link DIR 850L
  • Buffalo WZR-1759DHP
  • Netgear R7000 "Highthawk"
  • Arcadian
So if you have an SSD or RAID from an HDD at home, have a good Wi-Fi router, and if you solve specific problems that require fast Internet, then the new service will be useful to you.

Price

The service is new, a description will appear on the website in a couple of days. The cost is 1850 rubles per month, if without our router.
