All this talk about managing your quota and am here thinking, why do you care the unlimited plan didn't disappear it is still there. If you are really going to pass the 200g quota just go unlimited nothing have changed.

play less and do something more useful instead!
I have a full time job and I play at least 3 games of dota daily, you don't tell us how to live our lives

Well i have a job too and i earn an average salary that doesnt allow me to do everything I want all the time. I learnt to manage it .

You can do the same.

I have a job as well and i want to play 15 games, it's my life, instead of going out i just want to play games my friend, that's easy! And today i called and asked about the unlimited plan from IDM the support said that it has FUP, then why is it called unlimited, we are just stuck in the same circle and it's really bad if you really think it's ok to get 20 mbps with 40GB then i really don't understand how are you going to live with it, or you'll pay around 1000$ a month for ut which is really not worth it, because if you compare our internet to any other country you would really see the difference, our internet is not worth a single penny!

Edit: Thank you Ali!

Guys let's save all these arguments until after the new plans take place.
And I don't think that day will come anytime soon.

Totally true

next week probably

The week after next week maybe. Why all the hype? Their changes are nonsense stop hyping this stuff.

jumping up from 2mbps to +20-30 mbps is not nonsense

It is not nonsense, but it is at the same time because of the quota that they are giving with this speed i bet you would spend your 40 GB within a week :P, Correct me if i am wrong!

ahmad-toutounji

guys if you don't want fast speeds because you are concerned about usage you can force sync the modem to 1.5mb :)

ahmad-toutounji

you are somewhat right the quota is bad but we gotta survive with that we are given

So it's all about the final private ISPs decision to implement the unlimited night option or not, if they really give us this option then the new plans are a real good thing and a step forward, but if they abandon the unlimited night option I am sorry but mathematically it's more expensive than actual plans.
They can propose it either:
-3 to 6$ per month but the speed i capped to 1/2 max speed or 8mb/s
-8 to 10$ per month and they keep the speed as it's

Dont bother man, some people are just pessimistic hypocritical idiots who will still find something to nag about even if you give them open speeds + unlimited quota for 10$..... typical lebanese
I would pay 50$ for an internet that has 20mbps and 100 GB of quota in Lebanon! and would not nag about it

you will get max 70mbps speed(depend on your line) with 200gb quota for 50$

70mbps? on copper? The last tests showed a max of 16mbps and that is a max. Realistically, the majority will be lucky to get to 8mbps with our current infrastructure.

ahmad-toutounji

16mbps on adsl2+ , on vdsl2+ the speed is max of 70mb, for example my line can handle 14-15mb right now but on vdsl2+ it will be 40-50mb

Maybe I am late to the conversation, I tried to read previous comments, but where does Imad Kreidieh promise vdsl2+ implementaion?

ahmad-toutounji

it is already implemented according to what he said, but it needs a new modem

They are giving you much better than 100GB for 50$!!

They are giving you:

-100 GB for 30$
-150 GB for 40$
-200 GB for 50$

with open speed in the 3 cases!

So what are you complaining about exactly?

Draguen

Most people achieved between 8 to 10 mb during the unleash the speed, and frankly i have tons of friends whose Internet connection barely reaches 2mb at best and is very unstable.

Raficoo

That feel when my line stayed at 2 mb during the test and it'll be months before they even consider considering adding an active cabinet in my area ;-;

Draguen

@raficoo, how do you know where an when the next cabinets will be installed?
