Prayer for Unlimited Internet
In most regions of Russia except Moscow and St.Petersburg users have to pay for each megabyte of data they download.
There are simply no unlimited plans.
But people want them. So some act like this: come to the provider office and pray for unlimited plans. It may help.
Though if unlimited Internet plans would be approved across all the Russia the new rise of piracy can be expected.

“Though if unlimited Internet plans would be approved across all the Russia the new rise of piracy can be expected.” - uh???
You can go and by pirated disks super cheap now. How exactly unlimited internet fits into this?
What.
I doubt a group of 25 guys is going to change anything.
I would think that the Russian mafia would be selling pirated materials everywhere in Russia. Maybe the government wants people to buy through the mafia instead of getting it free over the Internet.
What religion are they?
That looks like a nice, clean town? What is its name and how many people live there?
Ulianovsk
617 000 inhabitants
Try to you see the difference between simple flashmob and serious action or demand.
It`s tagged as “FLASHMOB”.
Bullshit
The piracy issue is bullshit. Russians were able to throw off the czar but can’t get unlimited Internet like the rest of the World? Praying won’t help. Too many criminals in power in Russia.
Omgomg. We`r d00med.
If I were rich I would provide these people with broadband satellite just for the effort. Where is Bill Gates?
Where is Deripaska?
Someone from Omsk wishing to join me in such kind of praying?
Just kidding, it’s -20ºC out there and I’m afraid nothing to be achieved.
Being a European Internet heavy user it was a shock to face such kind of tariffs, when I used to pay less than 40€/month for much faster and unlimited connection. ¡¡¡ For that money I couldn’t get more than 900 Mb now !!! In past I was for sure downloading up to 5.00010.000 Mb. every month ;-(. Moreover, when someone calling me, connection just vanishes… and they still call it ADSL.
Someone should tell Mr.Putin and Co. that instead of paying Microsoft licenses, they’d better promote open source software and unlimited Internet connections all over the country.
Regarding piracy, it’s so widely spread that I really doubt that flat fared internet would help it to rise much more.
“Moreover, when someone calling me, connection just vanishes… and they still call it ADSL.”
If you would install the ADSL filters this wouldn’t happen.
I’ve beautiful filters installed (one in each telephone)… but I’m afraid it’s all about post-soviet phone lines and ISP’s technology which can’t handle voice and data as they should (when it’s me the one who’s calling, moreoften everything is OK).
Any other suggestions are welcome
Go to the telephone exchange box (where the line comes into the house) and split the line there. One line with a filter, the other without. Run a direct line to your modem without the filter from this box. If this doesnt work, then yeah, the lines in the area are bad. I worked with DSL in the U.S. and most of the problems are the lines inside the house, but I cant say its the same in Russia.
Thanks for your kind, quick and useful answer !!!
However, rather soon I’m moving and I expect this problem will be over (moving to a new building in a rather new neighborhood)… but I’ll keep your advice in mind.
Also try putting the actual modem inside the box, and running a power cable and ethernet to your router. This will improve the speed\latency a bit, since there is less distance of phone wire, and ethernet cables are uneffected within reasonable distance(~100m), compared to sensitive phone wiring.
This is not true! Some people have unlimited access, especially students in their hostels or those who can get it installed by the job (there are quite many of them). It is possible to download anything russian by eMule. What a shity liars site!
Muscovites, eh?
How little you know of ur own people living a few miles away from the capital
Anna! YOu are lying Ther is no unlim in middle Russia..I know!!! )))))may be in Moscow or Peterburg
Communist chicks have attitude problems.
You arrrre fool, Anna from Moskalya.
Um, ok, is everyone retarded? My sister in TAGANROG (relatively small town) in Rostov Reg. buys those internet cards and I’m pretty sure they’re not by bytes, cuz she cand download all she wants as long as she is within her time limit (usually 300 hours(?) i think) but there was never anything about bytes. also she used to pay monthly for unlimited, but it was limited to certain hours a day — but then again you could pay for more than one time period and you could download all you want. Man, who the hell came up with this stupid post? I’m sure those guys were just fooling around or smtn…
Solnashka… no one is retarded… we’re just referring to broadband internet.
Communist chicks always have attitude problems.
You’re very close mided. I have never been communist and never will be. I was born AFTER the communism got overthrown. The same year. I don’t even know how it was there during communist years. All I know is what I’ve heard from my mother. I just don’t like people being jackasses and making fun of something they know nothing about. (like you)
VOLODYA!
Does your sister know of any kind of DSL service in the
Rostov Region. YES, I know all about the internet access
cards! I
I live a few kilometers from the Kremlin in Moscow, and I recently found out we can now get unlimited broadband access.
Part of the problem is that there are often only limited service providers to a particular building. So you may only be able to go with company X, because they effectively have a monopoly on your building. I’m hoping that’ll change…
When I arrived here in August 2005, unlimited Internet was simply unavailable. Instead, I settled for 4 Mbps ADSL connection with a 4 Gb download limit per month for about $40 USD. Overage fees amount to about $20 per GB.
Then they made 256 Kbps unlimited connections available. But recently things improved. Just today I switched over to a new service that is 2 Mbps ADSL, unlimited downloads and includes 54 TV channels. Price? $30 USD.
It won’t be active until March 1st, but I’m excited to start using the Internet again without concern.
To Anya: What kind of connection are you talking about? 300 hours sounds like a telephone and modem connection…not high speed.
If the goverment would spend their money on Telecommunications infrastructure instead of a new missle they can sell to Iran, then these companies would be able to provide what the people want. It would also create jobs and promote technological innovation which would boost the economy. But being stuck in a cold war mentality, the Russian people still fear of being beaten on the battlefield like many other times, and they would rather spend their money on bullets instead of bread.
What a load of bull! ISP’s are PRIVATE companies, they do what they need to get more money and nothing else. It is not profitable for them (sometimes) to provide unlimited Internet plans. In Samara (where I live) VolgaTelecom (the company from the picture) provide unlimited access to the Internet along with other companies like SamaraLAN, DOM.RU and more. Market economy, competition - bears are not walking over the Red Square as you now
Nice to read there about famous Russian Mafia - it is everywhere… More ravings. Ah, when this will be stopped?
I live in this town!
I live in this town too =))

Preved from Russian mafia! =)
kagdila?
There is unlimited Inet in Ulyanovsk. The monopolist “VolgateleCom” provides “OPEN64″ and “OPEN128″ 64 kbit/sec and 128 kbit\sec accordingly. The payments are 41$ and 82$ monthly. Fuck’em. BTW, the middle salary in Ulyanovsk is about 250-300$.
So, with “OPen.64″ you can download only 16 Gigbytes monthly. Fuckin’ bitches-monopolists.
Vova, who is this guys?
Зобанедь?

8mbps costs fortune.

I know about the remarkable and mysterious country of Russia much. I many times was there, but understand Russian I could not. They do not have mafia! In Russia there are only street gangsters who steal crowd of money from small children. Russian call such gangsters - Gop. In Russia it is possible to buy directly in the underground piracy copies of CD. Bears along the street wander, drink vodka and sing songs. But I as the radical American declare - Russia better America! In Russia very beautiful girls. It is enough to tell - Let’s engage in sex and she will agree. In Russia scanty penalties for infringement of rules of traffic! For example for excess of speed - 20 cents! If to appear in the street very drunk the police will allocate{remove} in special hotel for drunk. Russian validly concern to drunk people… It is possible to list advantages of Russia indefinitely!
PS:Now I live in Russia and I do not regret about it. I have girl. Her name is Natasha. She very much loves vodka and sex.
So little, and already Natasha? =)

Man tihis is not very cool to have a girlfriend which loves vodka so much =)) Vodka is good part of coctails, but in pure it is sucks.
As for Russiaphobs… Come to our place! )) We’ll spend some time together and maybe after that your opinion about Russia will be different.
PS. Our girls is only for us. Muwahahaha

“Russian call such gangsters - Gop”
Бугага, этапять!
ыыыыы, тута па руски можна писать:)
Idiots.
How habitant of Russia, I convey the lessons of Russian:
Streets hooligans - Gopniki,Gopota (well this as your nygga in black quarters)
This to you unusually with you sufficiencies, and with your culture.And at us, it is needed to go out on a street late at night on a street to one - say goodbye with a you mobyle telephone other dear things, if you are not able correctly to decide situation or you do not own skills of hand-to-hand fight (which turn out similarly in the street) well or in extreme sluche it is possible to give an elk (s’ebatsya) shorter…
With disrespect to Bush junior, habitants of the Russian depth!
else beside us in russia free benzine. On street always purely. Even soil and spit not to want. In shop beside us are sold only pirate disks in school and building we use only pirate provision, license softs to use it is impossible - a fine. The Fine is subtracted from salary. The Average salary 100$. In village 30$. Else beside us home animal - a bear, they eat vodka and bathe in beating only.
I live near Ulyanovsk, we have 135 000 inhabitants and we are using service of that fucken Internet provider. Our unlim has 64kbit/s for about 1400RUR per month. Also we have non-unlim services, for example I pay 450RUR per month for 300MB of incoming traffic and 1,5 RUR for 1MB if I got more than 300MB. Also traffic from Ulyanovsk region is free. My speed is about 5-24 Mbps, but I have disconnects very often. Help us, Americans!!!!!:-)
P.S. sorry for my ill English:-)
Russia rulezzz! American mustdie!
Im not konect to ADSL Internet ,I search him for 3 years from T-COM Croatia THT.In spite of Optical Cable .
Stupid T-COM in Croatia.
Bye Jole warior
Jole, legendo!
Jole is real person and legendary broadband - right’s warrior. I understand him, I respect everybody’s opinion.
Good luck Jole, rolling stone gathers no moss !
I can asseverate that this situation in Russia repeated every winter, when bears begins occupation of our homes and computers (it can also that I not this man who I`m - it may be I bear)
Well. I know much about US and I live in Russia. Both of countries have it’s own outstanding personalities, it’s own kind of thiefs.
American people are too rich, russian people are too clever and intellegent.
But bad, stupid and crazy people habite and in US and in RF, so I think it isn’t correct to say, that America is bad, Russia is good, or Russia is bad, America is good.
Every country has fools.
We have no/few unlimited plans here in NZ, and no one gives a shit anymore.
russians have good sence of humore
Ulyanovsk now has several unlimited ADSL plans. My inlaws live there and I just sent them a MagicJack so they can call us anytime. BTW - Ulyanovsk is a great place! I love browsing the bazarre’s and the smaller shops. So much different the the USA.
Wow, my hometown here, cant believe it)))
And yes, Volgatelecom sux, there are always problems with them, even now they still dont have “pure” unlimited internet, there are always speed and volume limits. The network is often down.In other words, all people who had an opportunity, already changed to another ISP.
