Draguen wrote@nucleracat, yes this is a business, but this is also a governmental service that serves a function : provide Internet to the citizen. If it were a 100% privatised company i would have agreed, but their first and formost objective is to provide for the citizen, same as EDL, unfortunately we all know EDL situation today.

Exactly, the whole point of the new proposed plans which many people here are missing is how Ogero and MoT officials are advertising it: "20-50% of price reduction -لتخفيف الأعباء عن المواطنين-"

until today.
DSL number : L836816 Speed: 2 Mbps/512 Kbps
Total usage : 273.5 GB Free usage volume : Unlimited GB

so i think 300gb package will be great for us heavy users

but keep in mind that you calculations will not be the same with upgraded speed, personally, my consumption is ~ 150 GB every month on 2 Mbps connection, but my line can handle up to 16 Mbps, so if i can stick with 200 GB/month, it will be a miracle.

when you're giving speed to non-geeks people in your house, they will milk every MB by watching videos.

ManOwaRR

i have 89.7gb torrrented optionalll downlloads

52+gb battlefield 1 cte and that was also optional

so basicaly 200gb is on the llow side , but 300gb is tottally fine

but will see how it goes

With the new speeds you will need 400gb at least and 300gb is already very expensive, only unlimited night can be a solution even if we have yo pay 10$ more for it

So what happened today ? Did the ministry of finance approve the new decree/prices ?

ManOwaRR

same here for the consumption your line can handle 16mbps on adsl2+ which is very good so on vdsl2+ you will get something close to 40-50mbps

What about it ?
Ogero gives you a stable ping at ~90 ms
Without interleaving you get 60 ms on Europe servers
which is awesome considering the bad infrastructure.

chosen2k

I'm with Ogero... Ping is 180ms when I game on the ps4. PM if you have a way to fix this.

ManOwaRR

im on pc , 63ms when u ping google.com

77-80ms while ingame

180ms is way 2 muchh , something is using the internet that's for sure ..

ahmad-toutounji

maybe the 180ms is because of the game servers they are not in Europe or something or as manowar said someone is using the internet

So you guys are saying we can learn how to manage our quota!

My friend let's face it. A game of Dota2 or CsGo takes up to 120MBs, so let's say someone like me plays at least 150 games a month these will be close to 18GBs, so 22GBs left, and i forgot to mention the updates to these games, then you have the members of your family, nobody wants to watch youtube, what about spotify? Or maybe Netflix, and twitch? Every hour of streaming on 360p consumes up to 300MBs, and there is Instant Messaging, you don't want to download any softwares, new games that you buy? GTA V is around 60GB what would you do in this case ?

Tell me in this case how can i manage my quota, where saying to my family not to use any kind of social networks, or watching youtube or me reducing my gaming hours is not possible?

nuclearcat

Give everybody his monthly quota and let them watch out consumption. Whoever use extra out of his cut - he put in box for Ogero payments from his pocket for extra consumed GB's.
