no the upload SPEED will be 20% of download speed the quota will be shared between the download and upload.
nuclearcat wroteI will explain in simple words.
You have straight pipe to house from water pump in the area. No counter (other countries there is counters).
Let's say everybody likes to open water and water flowing all around to their toilers and etc. They just leave it open always.
Then only 1st floors will have water only. The higher u live, the pressure will be too low to reach u.
Same about electricity.

The unmetered goods are for people who respect and use them productive and proper way and do economy, not downloading gigaz of warez, and then deleting it or never ever open it, and just feeling so good that they downloaded or have them.
Although I'm a warez user and I mainly download HD documentaries, there are still lots of ways where you could use the speed and the bandwidth to download. For example, I downloaded an application on my xoom just to test it out, it's a speed racing game, when I launched it I got a notice that I need to download a 500MB update file for the game to work. If I'm gonna download this on my 30kb/s I'm gonna have to wait 2 days!

Without some sort of unlimited traffic, even at night, this whole thing is a sham.
4mbps 115000 for user through ogero ISP's should be slightly lower
55000 is the price for the ISP(idm,terranet...)
Shared IPs is the main source of our download problems, I used to have always downloads with rapidshare,megaupload,... in the beginning with 55kb/s for my 512k adsl and very rarely any broken download, this year I could never get the chance to download from rapidshare and co. because my ''ip is already downloading a file'', my downloads are breaking twice over 3 trials and speed is max 42kb/s!!
Why? because when they started adsl in Lebanon they were puting a reasonable number of people on the same shared IP, now you have about 10 times the allowed connections on the same shared IP...
Since the decree is posted in the official gazette it it 100% sure that starting October we will have it?
(Sorry for my question but I don't really believe anything anymore nowadays).
Passed by Terranet this morning to sign up for DSL, I had to sign up for the 512 plan since the new ones aren't officially out yet, but since it takes 20-30 days to connect me, and they confirmed that they're launching the new plans October 1st, I'll end up with the 2mb plan apparently.

What I don't understand now is, all the ISPs are equating 512 with 2mb and 1mb with 4mb... what about the 6-8mb plan? I haven't seen anyone other than ogero even mention it.
@vic: any news about prices for Terranet ?

I have premium accounts at rapidshare, Fileserve and filesonic. I used to download 2Gb every night at 100kb, that continued for about 3 months but now I can't download anything because it's 30kbs at night with minor spikes.

Just gave it a quick speedtest now


2MBPS!!!!
I have a question:
How will this upgrade affect universities, cafee with wifi etc etc... (concentrate on the universities)

universities get custom packages. this will simply make their bills cheaper.
Quota is very nice, I can use the internet 10 hours per month.
^am I reading it correctly?
2 meg from ogero will cost 50$ a month
2 meg from idm/wise/terranet... will cost 24$ a month!?!?

Ogero would be $50, from other it would be $24 charged by the ministry in addition to the subscription charged by the ISP, so the total should add up to around $50, or maybe a bit less
Exactly as ali_m3 said, the cheap table is between Ogero and ISP, and for end users.
Private sector prices will be minus down to 5000 L.L not more.
I think my isp has switched to the new internet. Download rate steady at 100kb/s for the last 4 hours.
who's your ISP? what's your package?
Fernand wrotewho's your ISP? what's your package?
ISP: satgate
Package: 256 / 44$

I started by downloading a 120mb file, it went down in 10mins at 100kb/s. Now I'm downloading a 700 mb file, got the first 250mb at 100kb/s but now it's bouncing between 30 and 50kb/s. I saw it go for 250kb/s for about 10 seconds, hoping to see that after midnight.

EDIT: Apparently, the bandwidth rebooted at 12:45 then I was able to continue downloading the 700mb file which I had 400mb left. I was able to download 320mb at 120kb/s then it sharply dropped to 50kb/s.

EDITE EDIT: It just got back up to 130kb/s. Speedtest just now
