A Wild Ride to Get Home Internet Up and Running

summarizeEditor's Summary

Getting set up for home internet with Tele2 through Rostelecom was a real adventure. I submitted my request on August 22nd, and things started moving quickly - or so I thought. The installer called to confirm the details, explain the conditions, and schedule the installation for August 24th. But that was just the beginning of a series of rescheduled appointments. It took three attempts, but the installer finally showed up on September 3rd and got me connected within an hour. The only catch was that I'd ordered 300 Mbps, but the installer said they could only get me 100 Mbps. Despite the initial frustration, I'm happy to report that the service has been reliable, and the speed has been consistent with what I was promised.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it - my experience with getting set up for home internet was a wild ride. No photos, because there wasn't much to show.
I've got Tele2 providing my home internet through Rostelecom. On August 22nd, I submitted my request for internet connection. The next day, an operator called me to confirm the details, explain the conditions, and schedule the installation for August 24th. I was surprised it was happening so quickly, but that was short-lived. That evening, the installer called to say the basement was flooded due to a clogged drain, so they rescheduled for August 27th. But even that didn't work out. The operator told me the installer couldn't make it, so I was starting to lose my cool. We rescheduled for August 30th, but even that didn't pan out. I was getting fed up, but I agreed to reschedule again. This time, it was for September 3rd. I was thinking, 'Okay, if they don't show up this time, I'm done with them and canceling the whole thing.' But nope, the installer finally showed up and got me connected within an hour. The only catch was that I'd ordered 300 Mbps, but the installer said they could only get me 100 Mbps. I'd have to get a new cable, but the access to the panels and half the pipe was blocked, so I settled for 100. It's a far cry from what I wanted, but after using an ADSL modem and 100 Mbps, it's like a whole new world.
Now, about the "They call back if something's not right" thing
I've had experiences with companies that don't bother to let you know when they can't make it or when there's an issue. It's just basic customer service.
"They're dragging their feet on the trial period"
This one's a bit weird. They connected me just 8 hours before the subscription payment was due. The trial period is supposed to start from the connection date to the next payment date. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
