Hi all. Today we will talk about how to increase the speed of TELE2 mobile Internet on your phone (Android or iOS). First of all, I would like to say that it is impossible to increase the speed above the norm provided by the operator - this is impossible to do. Another question immediately arises: what is the average speed of the Tele2 operator? According to the information provided by the company, the maximum you can get is:
- 3G – 42 Mbit/s
- 4G – 75 Mbit/s
This is the speed indicated for reception. Everything is standard for transmission - 18 Mbit per second. As a result, we get that there is no way to jump higher than this head, since this parameter is directly controlled by the Tele2 system. But what to do if the speed is too low or sags too much? - let's figure out together how you can speed up the TELE2 Internet.
Phone manipulation
First of all, I would completely reboot the phone, in this case the cache and RAM will be cleared and the smartphone itself should work better. It is also possible that your smartphone runs applications or widgets that eat up traffic - weather, news, currency and others. They can be disabled in the settings. Find the “Mobile Communications” section and find an item there that may be called “Traffic Consumption” or “Data Transfer”. There you will see all the programs that actively use the Internet. This way you can find the “traffic eater” and disable it or delete it.
If there is no Internet at all, then you can try to make a request to receive access point settings - they are usually sent immediately after connecting the SIM card. Enter the command:
679
If the settings do not arrive, you can enter them manually.
- Let's go to settings.
- Go to the “Network and Internet” section.
- Find the “Mobile Network” section.
- Open “Advanced settings”.
- Open APN.
- If a failure occurs, there will be no “Internet” parameter, and you will need to create it manually by clicking on the plus sign. Next, enter the parameters:
- Name: tele 2 internet
- Access point: tele2.ru
- Authentication type (verification method): no
- APN Type (Access Point Type): default,supl
You can also try updating your phone's operating system.
The main reasons for the drop in speed on Tele2
From the above, we can conclude that subscribers should not rush to write angry reviews and call the contact center. It is better to make sure that the source of trouble is not hidden in their rash actions. Particular attention should be paid in 2022 to:
- incorrect operating parameters of smartphones, which do not allow using all network capabilities;
- running background applications and downloading updates, which leads to the loss of some traffic;
- load on the device’s RAM, which reduces the overall performance of the equipment;
- viruses and malware that can get onto your phone;
- SIM card balance and the balance of the gigabyte package provided for in the tariff;
- terms of the tariff plan (perhaps the subscriber did not pay attention to the fact that they do not correspond to his desires).
Sometimes trivial failures in the operation of the smartphone lead to connection difficulties. You can solve them by simply rebooting the device.
Support 4G/3G Internet
There is also an option that your SIM card does not support 4G Internet. You can check this using the command:
*156#
If there is no support, then you need to contact the company office and get a new SIM card. The second option is that there is a problem on the smartphone side, and it does not support certain frequencies, which is why it connects only to a low-speed network. But this option is only possible on very old phones.
How to increase Internet speed on Tele-2
How to check MGTS Internet speed: on a computer or phone
Reducing speed is not a death sentence.
You can speed up Tele2 Internet using special applications and a number of manipulations. But first of all, you should find out the reason for the fall. You need to call the Tele-2 operator and find out why the data transmission has dropped. If technical work is ongoing on the server, all you can do is wait. In other cases, use the recommendations below.
Phone settings
The easiest way, often practiced, is to reboot the device as usual. Such actions will help increase the speed limit of Tele-2, but not always.
Another way is to make changes to the parameters of a smartphone or tablet running from Tele-2. Let's look at it using the example of two popular operating systems.
"Android"
Many running applications can reduce the speed of Tele-2. To speed up the transmission and reception of traffic, it is recommended to do the following:
- close all background programs not currently in use;
- uninstall useless utilities;
- clear cache, memory, downloads;
- close all unnecessary tabs;
- optimize your browser. Through the program settings, activate the “Traffic Saving” option. The resulting information will be compressed by almost 50%.
iOS
Increasing the speed of data transfer and receipt on smartphones with this “operating system” also lies in optimizing programs and devices. To increase it is recommended to do the following:
- clear log and browsing history;
- cancel automatic program updates;
- close unused tabs;
- clear cache;
- deactivate the JavaScript engine, but you need to be careful because some portals in the browser will not work correctly;
- deactivate the ApplePay feature if present.
Using apps
We will separately consider programs and utilities that allow you to speed up your Internet connection. For Android and iOS, these applications are different, but they all work properly:
- Internet Booster. It is compatible with Wi-Fi and 3G. Due to the simple and intuitive interface, the user will quickly understand its settings.
- Internet Speed Master. For proper operation of the application, it is recommended to pay for special Root rights. The main task of the utility is to optimize system characteristics. In order for the program to work, you need to activate Apply Patch, then reboot the device.
- Speed-Up-Internet. This application was created for the latest versions of Android OS.
The utilities presented above are downloaded from the Play Market. There is another program for iOS: 3G Network booster. It increases data transfer by 50%.
Access extension options
The Tele-2 provider provides its customers with tariff plans with unlimited Internet. However, restrictions are placed on the data transfer rate.
After using the installed MB, this figure decreases significantly. But don't worry, because there is a chance to connect additional traffic packages for an additional fee.
Traffic | price, rub. | USSD code for activation |
3 GB | 240 | *155*231# |
1 GB | 125 | *155*181# |
500 MB | 50 | *155*311# |
100 MB | 12 | *155*281# |
No funds on balance
If the speed has dropped to almost zero, then first of all check the funds on your balance; most likely, the package of services has come to an end. To connect 1 Gigabyte of traffic for 120 rubles, you need to enter a special command:
*155*541#
To disable the service, enter:
*155*540#
To check the status of the connected service, enter:
*155*54#
Ways to enlarge
To find out how to speed up your Tele2 Internet connection, you should analyze all the possible options offered by your provider. First, you need to check the connection at all points, and then consider options that will increase distribution and response time.
The operator has developed an option that subscribers with any tariff plan can connect to. Speed extension is 1 GB of additional traffic. The option is easy to activate yourself through a special combination. The cost is 120 rubles. Actions and commands:
- Increase speed - *155*541#.
- Remove a service from the tariff - *155*540#.
- Check status - *155*54#.
The service is provided for a month, but if the user has not used up all the MB, it is allowed to transfer them to the next reporting period. 1 GB is enough to upgrade your speed, use basic instant messengers and stay connected for a long time.
Phone settings
In order for the phone to correctly transmit and receive the Internet signal, the provider provides the configuration in the form of electronic files. They arrive on the device immediately after activating the SIM card. To improve the Internet, you should reinstall automatic settings. To obtain the correct configuration, please send a request to number 679 . Manual input is also provided if the automatic settings for some reason did not arrive or did not fix the problem. Input instructions:
- Enter the smartphone menu. Select the “Communication” section.
- In the “Name” column enter - Tele2 Internet.
- In the “Home Page” section, write - https://m.tele2.ru.
- In the “Proxy server” position, set “Disabled”.
- Make an “APN Access Point” in the format - internet.tele2.ru.
The only item that remains empty is “Username” and “Password”. After entering new parameters, you need to reboot the device and then check the connection.
Internet coverage
And now we come to the most important parameter, on which your speed directly depends. The idea is quite simple: the closer you are to the operator’s tower, and the fewer obstacles on the way, the higher the speed. Let me remind you that information is transmitted via ordinary radio waves. They, like any other waves, like to be attenuated by walls, metal, wood and everything that is not a vacuum.
The Internet coverage map can be viewed on the official website.
Also, communication deterioration will always be to one degree or another. Unfortunately, you will never see the ideal numbers that the operator promises. This is again due to the fact that the wave, reaching the phone as it propagates through the medium, attenuates. That is why, even in approximately ideal conditions, the speed will be 5-10% lower - this is normal.
Communication quality and coverage area
How can you increase the speed of your modem?
In order not to encounter “bad” Internet connection speeds from your provider in the future, check out the coverage area before purchasing SIM cards with Tele2 Internet tariffs. You need to go to the official portal of the provider and open the section informing about the network coverage area. The zones are marked on the presented map. You need to find your city or town and find out what network is supported.
Don't worry if your connection speed drops sharply. There are many ways to increase this parameter. The main thing is to correctly determine the cause of the decline and take the right measures to eliminate the problem.

“Add speed” – what is this service?
The essence of the option is that after using the Internet at high speed. The channel capacity is reduced to throughput indicators of 63 Kb/sec. This function is provided by almost all operators. Those subscribers who do not invest in package services can activate additional options.
To do this, you need to enter the USSD request *155*# and select the most suitable option - package, briefcase or traffic suitcase. After activation, the subscriber will receive a notification in the form of an SMS message.
Reasons for slow performance
If your speed suddenly drops, there may be many reasons for this and not all of them can be dealt with on your own. Let's look at the most basic ones:
- Tele2 tariff plan with low speed;
- restriction on the part of the provider (due to consumed traffic);
- network congestion at different times of the day (or during major holidays and events);
- a device that does not support high-speed technologies (4G, 3G, LTE);
- bad weather conditions;
- distance from the provider's telephone exchange;
- applications, programs, widgets that “eat” your Internet resources;
- automatic updates of the operating system or programs;
- viruses and virus software;
- accident at the provider's station.
Low speed when connected through a router
You can use the Internet from Tele2 through a Wi-Fi router. In this case, problems may also arise. First, the user must make sure that the reason for the low speed is in the router. Don't rush to go to the store for a new device.
What you need to know:
- The router has software and hardware limitations. More often, subscribers who use budget models face the problem of slow Internet. Sometimes flashing the firmware helps resolve the issue and the connection speed increases.
- Consider the impact of external factors. Home appliances, router location and other factors can cause a drop in speed. Try to install the router in a place where the signal reception will be strongest.
- Set a password on your device. Often neighbors connect to free Wi-Fi networks, “stealing” the user’s traffic. Internet speed in this case will inevitably drop.
Why does the actual speed differ from the declared one?
Operators strive to include inflated connection speeds in their tariffs in order to attract as many customers as possible. But in most cases, for all Russian mobile operators, the declared speed is very different from the real indicators.
Why do such differences arise:
- Problems arising on the client side of the company. The user is working with an incorrectly configured router. Or your computer has an outdated network card installed. Problems with drivers can also lead to slow speeds or no internet.
- Software glitches. Low Internet connection speeds are often caused by software glitches. Regular installation and uninstallation of applications on a laptop leads to the formation of corrupted registry entries. They can greatly slow down the operation of the computer as a whole. The Internet at the dacha will constantly freeze. Try to at least periodically remove outdated entries from the registry.
- Distance to base station. The further the subscriber is from the cell operator's tower, the worse the signal will be. If you use a mobile modem in a country house, try installing amplification equipment. A special amplifier will help correct the situation.
- Traffic limitation. Operators have the right to limit traffic. You need to study the details of your tariff plan. Sometimes, to remove restrictions, you can simply change the tariff.
Mobile applications for acceleration
Android lovers can use a good HSPA+ Tweaker application - add speed to your Internet in a few clicks.
Programs of this kind are not available for users of Apple devices - therefore, it will not be possible to increase the connection speed in this way.
There are many low-speed Internet optimizer applications from Tele2. Some help improve network performance and restore high speed, while others do not do their job well.
Give preference to proven programs and download them only from official stores.
Browser selection
The quality and speed of loading network resources largely depends on the installed applications on your smartphone. The main programs for accessing the Internet are browsers. The choice is a matter of taste for each user. Common problems include:
- The application's virtual memory is overloaded, do not forget to periodically clear the cache and browsing history.
- A large number of open tabs slows down the main processes of the browser. Close any unused pages.
- Update the utility to the latest version.
For active customers, Tele2 has prepared a special option - Unlimited Opera mini. Traffic spent through the Opera program is not charged and is provided free of charge. Go to the website for details.
from Tele2
If the Internet connection is poor on Tele2, you can increase its speed in different ways. For example, if traffic is transmitted slowly, but everything is fine with the device itself, you can use.
It is provided only to those subscribers who have previously subscribed to any tariff plan from the “Black” line (for example, used the “Infinite Black” option).
To remove the speed limit on the network, you can add a certain amount of traffic:
Volume | Period | Cost, rub. | USSD request |
100 MB | 1 day | 15 | *155*281# |
3 GB | 1 month | 150 | *155*181# |
5 GB | 1 month | 250 | *155*231# |
You can activate the option in other ways:
How to properly check the connection
In fact, it is not so important what service you use to measure the Internet. The main thing is to follow a certain list of rules for measuring network speed indicators:
- clear your browser of unnecessary junk (cookies, outdated cache, etc.);
- so that the speed does not drop, there is no need to measure it during bad weather;
- speed must be measured with the highest possible network signal;
- do not check speed indicators on a low-speed tariff;
- clean your mobile phone of viruses and malware so that the speed does not drop during the test;
- Make sure that no repair work is carried out at the Tele2 provider station during the inspection;
- check the serviceability of the SIM card before taking measurements;
- make sure that the area where the network is being tested supports high-speed technologies (4G, 3G, LTE);
- It is not recommended to measure speed indicators during a busy network (on holidays and during grand events).
Speed limit
It is impossible to say exactly what Tele2 Internet speed is the standard. Every customer and user of the World Wide Web has different needs. Some people play online games, while others can go to their VKontakte page several times a day. Both will be comfortable working with different speed parameters.
Many people rely on the “stated tariff plan” numbers. But, you must understand that you will not be able to achieve the same speed indicators even next to a cell tower. The measurements with which they were obtained were carried out in “laboratory” conditions using the best equipment. No negative factors (we will discuss them further) affected the network test.
Tele 2 operator networks use 3 G and 4 G technologies. Third generation networks develop incoming speeds of up to 42 megabits per second, and fourth generation networks – up to 75 (reception speed) and 18 mb/s – data transfer speed.
It is important that the speed directly depends on the capabilities of the device with which you access the Internet.
Additional Tele2 packages
If your access speed drops and the Internet suddenly disappears, check the amount of available balances. When the monthly quota is fully consumed, network access is suspended on all provider tariff plans on a package basis. In order not to wait for a new billing period, the user can activate additional options on the phone number. Open for connection, the following kit options are available:
Volume, GB | Validity | Activation cost, rub. | Encoding for inclusion |
0,1 | Day | 15 | *155*281# |
0,5 | Day | 50 | *155*171# |
1 | 30 days | 120 | *155*541# |
3 | 30 days | 200 | *155*181# |
5 | 30 days | 250 | *155*231# |
If the standard quota is constantly not enough, it is recommended to increase it by running an additional package:
Size, GB | Unlimited at night | Activation price, rub. per month | Startup combination |
1 | No | 120 | *155*702*1# |
3 | No | 200 | *155*703*1# |
15 | Yes | 400 | *155*704*1# |
25 | Yes | 600 | *155*705*1# |
40 | Yes | 900 | *155*706*1# |
The remaining gigabytes are automatically transferred to the next period if not fully consumed.
The prices in the tables are indicated for the Moscow region. In other areas the characteristics differ.
There are many reasons why Tele2’s Internet reception is poor; most of the problems are solved by users themselves. If the access speed cannot be improved and it differs from that stated by the provider, then contact the communication center with a request.

How to use Tele2 Internet from a computer
I don’t know for sure yet! But there are thoughts on this matter.
- You can connect your phone to a PC or distribute Wi-Fi from it. In this case, everything will work the same way. I already checked! But we don’t know how long? If you download the same 15–25GB of information in this way, won’t the speed drop again?
- You can take the same 3G Modem. But in order to determine the network, as with a mobile phone, you will have to change the IMAI on the Modem. That is, we take IMAI from the mobile and push it into the 3G Modem. If you don’t do this, the operator will understand that you are using a 3G modem and will certainly reduce the speed.
The second option was successfully tested on Megafon! There are no problems at all! On Tele2, this trick with changing IMAI works the same, but again the question arises, what will happen after loading the same 15 - 25GB? Since the company website says:
- If the Subscriber creates a significant load on the network, the speed of the mobile Internet cannot be guaranteed.
That is, if you, for example, actively watch videos on YouTube, then your Internet speed may be reduced, even if you honestly use the Internet from your phone or tablet! And here it is no longer known whether a call to 628 will save you or not.
This is exactly what I want to check, it’s very interesting! At the moment I have used a little more than one Gigabyte of traffic.
For the next few days I will be on the Internet with Tele2 and use the Internet, as I usually use it. I’ll watch something on YouTube, turn on music online, download something from p2p, upload something to the cloud. In the end, we’ll see what this leads to, whether the Internet speed will drop or not.
I use a 3G Modem ! Yes! The most important thing is that I use my new modem, it has IMAI from the smartphone, so I am identified on the network as from the Phone , and not as from a 3G device, as it was when the SIM card was in the old modem and as a result the Internet speed dropped!
