Ahmad Toutounji wroteyes that's because modulation of vdsl2 requires more power = more noise and 24mb is not so good for vdsl2

It's synced on adsl2+ which means 24mb is maximum speed.. i expect 80mb on vdsl2

Which VDSL2 modem did you get? As far as I know, TP-LINK's VR series doesn't support the G.lite modulation!

why not force sync on vdsl2 and try to see what is ur max rate gonna be? because all dslams have vectoring capabilities as imad kreidieh said

I tried..but failed to connect to internet

Then your dslam doesn't support vdsl where do you live

خطة تخفيض أسعار الانترنت التي وضعتها وزارة الاتصالات سينتظر اقرارها اجتماع مجلس الوزراء الغائب منذ أسبوعين.
الخطة الجديدة تعتمد على تخفيض السعر مع سرعة مفتوحة.
على سبيل المثال فان المواطن الذي كان يحصل من أوجيرو على 100 جيغابايت بمئة ألف ليرة لبنانية وبسرعة 8 ميغابايت بالثانية، فانه سيحصل في الخطة الجديدة على 150 جيغابايات ب65 ألف ليرة بسرعة مفتوحة.

Any word if there were any speed boosts (unleash the speed) this weekend and if there are going to be any going forward? The last group I saw were the ones on Easter weekend and that was mainly IIRC Tripoli, Saida and Sour.

so all of that to get 150GB quota. It is a joke right?

I hope so!
They promised 16mb/s plans for the price of 2mb/s actual plans, all these superspeed days for nothing?

Couple that with claims that "unlimited" will only happen with 2-4M.
I bet there will be no unlimited nights with 10+M speeds.

Do you really think IDM will give you 16M unmetered at night? Does network even handle pressure? I don't. But we'll see.

حتى ساعة متقدمة من ليل امس، لم تكن المراجع الحكومية قد حددت موعد جلسة جديدة لمجلس الوزراء الأسبوع الجاري، وإن كانت كل التقديرات تشير الى احتمال أن توجّه الأمانة العامة للمجلس اليوم دعوة الى جلسة عادية الخميس المقبل للبحث في جدول اعمال عادي بعيداً من همّ قانون الإنتخاب العتيد.

Let's Hope to be on Thursday.

they said here (Video), it's based on Distance !
so 2 km far from CO, will have just 2mb !

my line atten : 27/16 !!

and the distance is 2 km,

so i'm going to stay ON 2MB ? it is unfair, because technically my line can handle 10 MB !!!

what do you think guys ?

You will pay for this option like you are now, so for these ISPs additional $ are always welcomed, so if you will pay under 30$ for 16mb/s speed, won't you pay extra 3.5$ for unlimited from 11pm to 8am?

Oh I totally would. You're missing the point.
10+M for everybody near COs and unlimited will cause massive pressure on weak infrastructure + if Ogero doesn't have that option, private ISPs will have a big advantage should they offer it.
I just can't imagine people with Ogero looking at IDM subscribers downloading 50GB a night and staying calm.
I hope I'm wrong. 16M with 150GB during the day and unlimited at night is not bad at all for a start.
Just my 2 cents

ManOwaRR

do you really believe , they will give us unlimited night traffic =))) , good dream though

Its all about the FUP. "Fair usage policy" will definitely be applied even with the so called "unlimited" options.

They already does
And yes ogero did upgrade their Beirut's infrastructure and it's fully capable, don't forget a 16mb/s is considered as very old in other countries, they are now at 500mb/s on fibre and 200mb/s on ADSL in Europe, so even 16mb/s and 50gb download is a joke compared to real heavy load of modern infrastructure.
And no, not everyone is paying the extra fees for unlimited night, so pressure on the network is not that important
