very excited for this .. but can't help asking why Alfa is on the chart when they didn't even put a proposal for extending their service for 2017!

Mom

So we are getting VDSL which means more speed and more stable internet ?

a-l

did anyone try to send a message to boutros harb on his social media ( since he seems to be active) and ask him about the status of the VDSL, i'm desperate for any hint of an official update on the subject.

i havent read what you all previously said. (new user)
most probably i am going to subscribe to 16M80 (unlimited at night) from sodetel
however my friend told me that the ping on sodetel network is high
so my question is, is the internet provided by sodetel worth it? good speed with low ping or they just say its 16 M and you get 2?
thanks in advance

Haven't seen any good review about Sodetel in here... Ogero seems to be the dominant ISP with the top performance

Check the dedicated Sodetel topic.
In summary: Bad. Bad, BAD.

well ogero and IDM seem to be quite the same but the pings on ogero are better.. at the same time IDM provide more services such as unlimited night for limited plans.

guys in the testimonial videos, Dr. Saad Andari said that the speed will be 6x and the cost will be reduced in 2017

amine-mallah

IDM no longer provides unlimited night traffic (it is optionable and you can get it for 4$) and i personally dislike it. I regret the moment i installed IDM on my copper wire. Anw i personally prefer Sodetel, it has unlimited night traffic, high speed internet and many useful services, and it has websites that other ISPs lack. OGERO is good however no night traffic

2017? this country just love to milk the last cent in our pockets before upgrading anything.
It is the same with internet electricity phones...
Why upgrade as long as people are paying alot for so little.

Hello everyone, i'm currently using basic cable connection (from an ISP nearby), and I've finally decided to get a DSL connection.
Since I download tons of Movies/TV-Series/Games (+ little bit of online gaming), I'll probably need an unlimited/unlimited@night package, but I've heard that some of them are false advertising their packages (Sodetel) and abusing customers with their FUP.

So, what ISP do you recommend?

(My budget is around 50$/Month maximum)

Ogero's 2mbps/unlimited plan has no FUP, costs 50$/month and most stable.

I see, so :

- Downloading ~150-200GB/month won't cause any trouble? will the download speed get under 200kb/s?
- Does it limit torrent download speed or block it or something?
- What's the average latency to EU servers (mostly CS:GO)?

And are all other ISPs that offer 'unlimited at night' packages a fraud (FUP)?
I know that's a lot of questions, but I've seen some ugly shit in the last 5+ years and it's time to move on.

silentcontrol you are right 2017 is too far according to the capabilities we have right now

I am with Ogero 2mbps unlimited.
-I am currently 120GB downloaded and counting.
Getting 200-250kb/s always, even on torrents.
-Check "Tiret" #1.
-Your average latency to european servers would be 90-100ms.
60-70ms if you request to turn interleaving off. (Check the feedback for ogero thread for more details about that).

About other ISP's, most probably yea.
Just go for Ogero Unlimited, its 50$/month. And you wont regret it.
