VDSL2 plans as imad kriedieh tweeted today morning
also some plans he said earlier: 4mb 40gb as an entry plan , then 2m unlimited

And no unlimited night traffic.(From Twitter)
Well, the 40GB for 4MB is very small

I guess this plan is made for old people who uses internet only for WhatsApp and facebook so no fear on them :)

Hello guys. you have to bare something in mind; ogero is the most stable isp in terms of speed and quality of service.

In my opinion, again its my personal opinion, i think people should take their connection from ogero rather than other isps, since ogero is providing them access in the first place.

what do u think? do u approve my opinion?

With the presence of streaming, online gaming, etc..As you said 200GB is very low, but still let us wait for the final plans maybe we will witness a hidden Easter egg :p

I'm with IDM and yesterday the ping dropped to 60-65, down from 100-105.

I'm not sure if they fixed anything at all, but all I did is change the phone line - modem filters.

Yes, i guess 99% chance it will pass. But the question is when will it become valid ?

I just want to say that if this source is to be trusted, in the last meeting the council of ministers passed a law for animal protection, which is great, but it makes me believe that the internet issue and all things attached to it (economy, people's welfare, etc...) are not as top of a priority to the government as they make it to be.

they chose animal protection over money ? well I guess it's not a priority after all..

There is very controversial issues in this decree related to pricing of backbone for ISPs. I have analysis, it will hurt many small isps and leave them without work and sched some light to very fishy smell in this decree.
This decree beneficial for some(major ones) of my customers, and it is bad for me to post this analysis(i did it, because many small isps are my friends), and i am thinking that here people wont care about those few thousands who will lose jobs, but they care about GB/Mbit extra they will get. Or i am wrong and worth risking to post?
