Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Oh nice ! Why didn't you publish it online ? And how was the internship at Sodetel ? I'm interested. Thanks for any info.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

We didn't know about this forum before and they told us that they will put it on their website but never did  They use it themselves in offices though. Here it is if someone is interested in using it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/221 … cation.zip
There are some bugs since this is the first serious app that we ever did, but it's perfectly usable.

PS: Since I directly sent the standalone app not the installer you should download and paste these 2 files in "Documents" for the SpeedTest to work. They contain the download servers. You can change them in the text files.

Yes they should both be in Documents folder. Anyway it's a step needed only here because i sent the standalone app. Everything's else working fine? Couldn't reply earlier sorry didn't notice the reply.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Ping to Beirut on average should be in the 50s or 60s i believe.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

I've been with the same public IP since the upgrade, it's like I got a free static IP. Am I the only one?

welcome to shared ip

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Doesn't look shared to me. How can I make sure?

I remember when I had a shared IP, I would go to a HTTP website like whatismyipaddress.com and it would shoe an IP starting with 212 and it changes after every refresh strangely. That's not the case now.

Same on any website I check it on.

Test port forwarding then if positive, congrats, you have real IP.

Confirmed, it's real ! I'll keep track of it until they decide to change it.

Just for future reference, here's how I did it:
1) Launched an HTTP server on port 2100.
2) Went to canyouseeme.org and yougetsignal.com to test it.
3) All positive.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

We don't have our own cables. We use submarines cables, so when you ping an ip in Beirut, it goes to the central where submarines go then goes to Beirut, I could be wrong ...

ISPs in Lebanon are interconnected through berytech. if your ISP puts you on fiber, then try ping ssg.terra.net.lb or any other server in lebanon and you will get a ~40 ms latency.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Couple of years ago, they did something called Beirut IX. The purpose of this was to avoid using the international link for local access. Thus, all traffic from Lebanon to Lebanon currently does not get outside the country. I have not seen the hierarchy of the network, but if the use one node to connect the country together, i.e. Berytech; you might suffer from such latency due to large amount of traffic being used. Especially that the Speedtests will be routed through Berytech to avoid the use of the international bandwidth. Currently, lots of people are using speedtes which will consume a lot of traffic and cause latency.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

hey guys, a friend wants to switch off from idm and i suggested sodetel because i saw another friend got the upgrade.
so my questions are:
- all subscribers got the upgrades?
- unlimited night traffic?
- FUP?
- what about the pings? what I know is pings are like 400ms with the unlimited plan, but what about the limited plans?

1) The vast majority, there were some posts with the unlimited plan who still didn't get it last time I checked, but meanwhile their pings were better.  To be confirmed.

2) From 1am to 8am.

3) Yes. I've never abused my bandwidth so not sure about it. But I don't think it's as severe as the IDM FUP I see in their threads.

4) Only until two moths ago or so did Sodetel users start getting good latencies. It used to be 300ms for almost all users, but it looks like they've worked on it.
But I have nothing to confirm that they ditched their satellite links.
