Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

maba723 wroteJust a quick question to anyone who knows, if I press the restart button on my router, would I have to take the router to Ogero to reconfigure it?(As I mentioned above I forgot the username/password)

If you were to do a complete reset i would image you would have to take it to get it reconfigured since you are essentially wiping everything.

chosen2k wroteHey guys is there an improvement in pings?

Seems so. I was at around 150ms before im between 100-120 at this point

Seems to be improving all the time, ping is now sub 100 and speeds are slightly higher

can you please ping google?

Hi there i have a question, is Ogero giving 4MB speed ? when i called they told me the highest they have is 1MB Speed, while here i'm looking at some of you who have 4MB from Ogero. my CO is Chiyah, can someone tell me if i can apply for the 4MB plan ? and btw to any TerraNet subscriber, can you post a speedtest of a 4MB speed connection ? and let me know how the ping is.

Thank you.

Hussam , Sorry my english is not very good , that's why i am writing in arabic words .i was saying that i am a VISP user now , and planning to switch to Ogero DSL soon , i was asking if i did a good move , because i have very bad connection with VISP . I was saying that my neighboor switched to ogero dsl last week and they have ping 255 ms download 500 k and upload 70 k , i was asking if that due to viruse or malware on their laptop . redbyte told me that may be the router .... and i was saying that i am not sure about the router they have , and don't know which router ogero will give me .

mrclass hello !!! yes i am new member here , hope that i didn't do any mistake by posting directly here and asking about DSL .

for sure i will introduce myself .
my name is Celine , 29 years old from batroun

is there anything else should i add ???

thank you

Actually yeah it should work fine; the reason I got it is because my old D-link was dying and I need a modem with the latest Broadcomm chipset ( members on forums reported that Broadcomm is very stable with Zhone DSLAMs ) with USB storage / Media server... etc... So far no problems. my old fried Linksys WAG320N is somehow as fast as the new one I got. So I can't say that the x3000 offers something extraordinary internet wise but the wireless range and speed is much better. I have disabled the WIFI on the x3000 as I don't need it. I am using Airport Extreme @300mbps and transfer rate is something around 112Mbps /sec ( 11-13 MB/sec )

oh i see, thats good to here! am getting one this week for sure! i just got installed today 8MB plan from sodetel but my modem router netgear is sooo poor and not functioning properly as well so needed to upgrade :) thanks for your info!

so i had this perfect improvement for the past couple of days when it came to latency.
I found games on MW3 <125ms, no lag watsoever, plain perfect.
luckily i tracert to see what the change was :

i have some questions about Ogero dsl

- is that true ogero will not give me the modem username and password ??
- can i check how many mg i use every and each day ?
- i see on my neighboorr wifi from ogero that the security type is WEP , how can i make my wifi security type WPA2 ? can i ask them to make it for me ?

thank you

For Thomson routers, you can backup settings with a tool released by speedtouch, once you reset your modem you just restore the settings and no more visit to ogero or others.
