The Netbynet provider offers its customers a wide range of services, including mobile Internet access and simple remote home monitoring systems. Later, Netbaynet became part of the Megafon company. BUTeven later, a significant product in the field of telecommunications, Wifire TV, was created by joint efforts, which is used by more than 50,000 subscribers. Even such an ambitious project as providing the entire transport network of Moscow with free Internet is the work of Netbaynet.

Reviews
"Netbaynet", despite all the assurances of the operator and advantageous offers for subscribers, has not the best reputation. Users actively complain about constant crashes, unexpected shutdowns and long delays. Remote locations where Netbynet operates (regions in the first place) are seeing a decrease in speed on an ongoing basis. The declared speed in 90% of cases differs from the one that the user eventually receives. There were cases when the provider, without notifying users, changed the connection conditions and individual tariff plans, in connection with which the amount of the subscription fee and speed changed. In addition to the poor quality of communication and abrupt breaks, users note the intrusiveness of technical support employees who often call users and offer additional services that were not initially connected. In addition, technical support often makes you wait, torments subscribers with the same questions and offers the same diagnostic methods, regardless of what caused the problems with the Internet. Another important point that Netbaynet employees in Moscow and other cities hide is the cost of connection. It is paid, and it costs 3,500 rubles, which for many can be a critical amount. Even the connection process itself can turn into one big problem. Employees of the company can cancel your application for connection without explaining the reasons, and technical support will only shrug their shoulders, saying that they are not responsible for employeescompany.
There are also positive reviews about Netbaynet. Some users are lucky enough to deal with courteous and competent technical support, ready to make concessions. Many residents of Moscow note stable work over several years of interaction with the provider. Some undemanding users who switched to Netbynet from other providers also left positive feedback, as they believe that the conditions offered by them are much better than those of competitors. This applies to both connection performance and the features that are offered by default. One of the distinguishing features of the provider is the ability to create several IP addresses at once for each individual device, including the router. There is a bonus system that helps you save money on Internet, television and mobile traffic charges.
