Description of the package and what is included in it
The content and description of the mentioned tariff plan is obvious from its name. Rostelecom’s “Your Cinema” TV channel package contains a small set of broadcasts containing exclusively films, TV series and animation. At the same time, the provider did not stop at a specific genre, adding a variety of broadcasting options to the list of available channels, significantly expanding the choice of customers.
The tariff did not include anything additional. But subscribers had the opportunity to expand the list of available services by taking advantage of the combined offer “Easy + Your Movie”. At the same time, users are not limited in their capabilities. The telecommunications company reserves the right to control the terms of service.
Customers are able to activate additional services, including home telephone, mobile communications and a number of additional offers. That is, the final parameters depend solely on the desires and financial capabilities of the viewer.
Connection conditions
Considering that the tariff plan is sent to the archive, it is impossible to connect the “Easy + Your Movie” tariff from Rostelecom and just a package with films. The operator abandoned the described package at the end of April 2019. That is, since May it has been impossible to subscribe, and it is pointless to hope that the provider will decide to restore the old conditions in the future. The reasons that forced him to take such a step are not specified. Support specialists will not name them if subscribers call the hotline. Therefore, everything that users and lovers of good films can do is limited to studying the outdated and written-off offer. You can only familiarize yourself with it, but it is not available for activation, so viewers will have to choose a different option.
