he's lucky he wasn't born in Lebanon, I guess I won't live to see the day when Unlimited Cap is the standard thing, and when we only talk about speed!

Caps exist in other places notably Australia, and are beginning to resurface in the USA. A lot of the ones in the US are set at 1TB and then the customer has to pay something like $10 for each additional 50 gig. A few offer unlimited for an additional $50 per month, but no one has ridiculously low caps are such high overage fees as here.

DSL[edit]
In Germany, DSL is the prevalent internet access technology with over 30 million subscribers. For residential services the Annex B versions of ADSL, ADSL2+, and VDSL2 are used. With over 12 million customers the incumbent Deutsche Telekom is the market leader.[1] Other DSL providers either operate their own hardware on local loops rented from the incumbent in a local loop unbundling (LLU) arrangement, and/or purchase bit-stream access from a provider that operates DSL hardware.

As of January 2014, a typical monthly cost for "dual flatrate" internet and telephone service start at €25 for ADSL2+ (16 Mbit/s downlink, 1 Mbit/s uplink) and €30 for VDSL2 (50 Mbit/s downlink, 10 Mbit/s uplink).[2][3] Some of the major nationwide DSL providers are:[1]


Alternative technologies[edit]
While DSL is the prevalent connection technology in Germany, other technologies may offer lower prices or better availability and speed.

Cable[edit]
Internet via cable is offered by Kabel Deutschland and Unitymedia (separated geographically). Additionally there are some small providers as well which do not operate nationwide.[8] The typical available download speed is between 10 and 200 Mbit/s. In April 2015 Tele Columbus started offering up to 400 Mbit/s.[9] A typical 2-year tariff with 120Mbit/s internet and telephone costs about €35 per month,[10] with additional HD cable TV about €60.[11] Since November 2014 both Unitymedia and Kabel Deutschland offer connections with up to 200Mbit/s in downstream.[12] Unitymedia started its 400 MBit/s connections in January 2016, Vodafone Kabel Deutschland offers 400 MBit/s since June 2016.[13]

FTTH and FTTB[edit]
Deutsche Telekom started offering FTTH/FTTB in select regions in 2011, with up to 200 Mbit/s downstream and 100 Mbit/s upstream.[14] As of January 2014, Deutsche Telekom FTTH was available in 884,000 households, at a price point of €55 for 100/50 Mbit/s and €60 for 200/100 Mbit/s service.[15][16] Regional providers also offer FTTH/FTTB services, e.g. M-Net in Munich, wilhelm.tel (de) in Hamburg, NetCologne in Cologne, and NetAachen (de) in Aachen.

Adnan wroteEver since my downstream rate has been pushed to its limits I've been getting a shitton of CRC errors and I can't even game. I got to fix it by switching to G.DMT where I only get 3.5Mbps instead of up to 7Mbps.

Turn on interleaving if you have it off, btw what is your max rate on adsl2+ and what is the data rate

Here are my line stats at their best state: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/27/3/1499209664-image.jpg

I've gamed this whole night on G.DMT and got 0 CRC errors.
I'll try to game again on ADSL2+ tomorrow to see if it got any better.

Ok so I kept checking the modem page while gaming and here's what causing the connection drops: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/27/4/1499356383-image.jpg

I'm not losing sync but the SNR is dropping too low for a few seconds and the CRC skyrocketing. I think I'm gonna request Sodetel to limit my downstream to 6 megs once the open speed plans kick off.

You may have bursts of noise or interference on your line. Check what is causing it

Ahmad, this is what I've been doing. When gaming on G.DMT I get 0 to few CRC errors. However the data rate drops to 3.5Mbps and the max rate to 7Mbps.

YES, CAPs still exist of course, but as you said, some people were talking about 1.2TB cap, 1TB cap and such, not 40GB joke

Has anyone found a vdsl modem at ogero as kreidieh? If yes, what is the price?

in Australia it is comparable with new plans in Lebanon
Somehow their situation is similar to Lebanon as well (geopolitical situation of Lebanon makes bringing internet cables hard over sea and impossible over labd)

Xsever wroteThe Ministry of Telecommunication just posted the mechanism of how the plans will be upgraded automatically to new ones. If you want to change from this dedault upgrade for each plan, then you have to call 1515 and do it.

Basically for me, I'm subscribed to the 4Mbps with 50GB and 50,000 LBP per month. It'll be automatically updated to the Open Speed with 100 GB and 45,000 LBP.

More details here: http://www.lebanonfiles.com/news/1204333

سوف تقوم الوزارة بترقية الخدمات السابقة بحيث يحصل المواطن على سرعات اعلى وكمية استهلاك اكبر برسم يوازي او اقل مما كان يدفعه سابقا وبناء عليه.

When in july?
My plan is idm 4mb 50gb
Until now still on same plan and speed

they said in july the plans will be upgraded? but how imad kreidieh said they will be next month not this month!

Maybe the change will happen in July on their side (in the backend) and on August 1st, they'll "flip a switch" and all new plans become active.

Ahmad Toutounji wrotethey said in july the plans will be upgraded? but how imad kreidieh said they will be next month not this month!

They have some issues in the billing system shifting from the previous plans prices to the new ones . They confirmed to me that on the 20th of July they will start accepting the requests on the new plans and they "HOPE" that the 1st of August thet shift will happen. A Hope word , will incline things to take with a grain of salt.

So if I'm on the current unlimited plan, I'll be automatically switched to the new 2mb unlimited plan?
