Since the time of Tsar Gorokh, many people have had a landline home telephone at home from the “state company” Rostelecom. Well, somehow it is believed that it is more reliable, more stable, and if a nuclear war breaks out, then you will not be lost with a landline home telephone - and the young lady will plug the plug, and the brave EMERCOM member will close the two broken ends of the telephone cable with his teeth - and let there be communication! :D

But the monopolist Rostelecom has already become so insolent, constantly increasing the cost of services for a landline telephone, that even pensioners, the most conservative part of our society, who firmly believe in the miraculousness of a home telephone, have reached out in long columns to Rostelecom offices to refuse a landline home telephone and switch to mobile communications- because tariffs for calls on mobile phone on the contrary, they are constantly decreasing, and it is not the mobility of a grandmother + the mobility of a telephone that makes life really more convenient and safer.

In general, dissatisfaction with Rostelecom exceeded all conceivable and inconceivable limits, and one fine day I decided to give up my home phone.

I was unable to find any information on the Rostelecom website on the issue of disconnecting a home telephone, through Personal Area It is also impossible to cancel a subscriber. I went to the nearest Rostelecom branch near my house, where, as I was sure, they would give me a form to refuse a landline phone, I would fill it out and then we would say goodbye to Rostelecom. But it was not there!

The number of landline home telephones in our country is huge, and recently the number of people wishing to abandon the service of a landline home telephone has been irreversibly increasing. Naturally, Rostelecom saw this trend and tried to make the process of giving up a landline phone as difficult as possible. At the branch they told me: in order to turn off my home telephone, i.e. the owner of the phone needs to go to Herzen 3, room 112, to a specific question: “Do you need any application?”, they answered: “Nothing is needed. They work from 9 to 20 without lunch.” OK then.

I arrived at Herzen at about 2 p.m. The entire hall near office 112 was packed with people, like on a bus at rush hour: grandmothers in their 80s, rich women with string bags and children, pensioners standing modestly in the shade middle class with doomed faces... Some women shared that today the line was moving surprisingly quickly - in 1.5 hours 7 people had passed! (I went there and tried to stand in line 2 times, but never saw anyone enter or leave room 112). On the door of office 112 there was a solemn announcement that in order to terminate the contract you should have an Application with you (see above:)))
