m_zeid wroteA legitimate question: Why internet in Lebanon only delivered by phone lines dialup and now DSL?? I'm speaking wired wise.
I can't find cable providers, maybe VISP is the only one I know about and it cover only small areas. Or am i wrong?
What do you want it to be provided over?
Anyway to answer your question, I think DSL performance is OK, and the problem is more one of capacity, bandwidth, latency of the international connections. So I don't think there is anything to win, peformance-wise, in having more infrastructure options.
I have also read about fiber a couple of years ago. God knows what happened to this project. But again, when you don't have enough international capacity, routing performance and a local exchange, then fitting 100mbps fiber to houses and businesses isn't going to change much. It's like building a highway for a bicycle. Even if you drive your bicycle on a highway or on a airport runway, it's not going to make it any faster, it's still a bicycle.
Anyway, no need to dumb it down so much :) I'm just saying that the bottleneck is not the end-user connection infrastructure, in Lebanon.
