I called IDM this morning to ask about the Open Speed, the agent said that they first need to ask Ogero for a speed test on my line and he took my mobile number. He called back an hour later and said that the speed I could reach is 6M and that I would need to pass by their office in Jisr El Bacha by August 20 to submit an application and pay $2. I did tell him that on the Ogero speed test day I reached 10-11M and he just said it's the result of the test Ogero did on my line upon their request. What do you think is going to be my speed on September 1? 6M or 10-11M?

Thus IDM subscribers on ogero are required to submit an application and pay the fee (the support guy didnt know how much is it) to be upgraded to open speed.
It doesn't make sense, we are the 28th of the month, if we have to pay something or to make new paperwork they should have told us already, my source at Cyberia told me there are no fees nor papers to do, just choose your plan online and pay
Last time Cyberia made a form to choose a plan upon renewing your service.. They will probably do the same this time
Sodetel has always been the most generous provider in terms of packages. As they are showing on the website , no free night is offered :(.
If that's the case, I will consider switching to Ogero (when free night is a thing) or IDM.
I'll stay with Sodetel this month to test my speed and overall usage.
I called their sales dpt and they said unlimited nights are unmaintainable with amount of GB's now being offered, I don't know how other ISP's would do it.

I think they will start fupping their customers really hard.

For Cyberia/IDM, if GDS is your DSP, all capped plans are open speed, and you can choose, for free, any of the plans to be active as of 1st of August.
Nice!
So on the 31th of July I can just pick any OS plan and it will switch to it on the 1st August.
About Fair Usage Policy, is that true it's limited to 3x the quota? I am on 4m 50gb now with OS for 2 weeks and I am nearly sure I am above 150gb with unlimited night
how long will it take to switch from IDM to Ogero considering the new procedure?

That is not what they told me. They said that on 1-Aug all upgrades will be automatic as per their tables, then we have until 20-Aug to request a speed or plan change for 1-Sep... Actually until the 20th of each month for a change on the 1st of the following month.

If the plan they concluded is an Open Speed one then you can pick up any Open Speed quota right now online by refilling it or by applying a prepaid card, if they chose a 4mb plan for you instead then yes you will have to change it ''manually'' by paying the 2$ and perhaps go to their offices.

I checked the building's phone box today and oh boy.... It's a fucking disaster.

I don't even know where to start! I don't know which one is for our home and I'm not sure how we can find out the correct one. I want to change it to a CAT5e or even CAT6 cable, but with such a mess I'm unsure if it's possible.

Try to request a replacement from Ogero, chat with them on 1515
So if we switch to GDS, we pay $19 instead of $20 for the Open Speed/50GB plan. Why would anyone accept to pay more for the same service just because their line happened to be installed on Ogero and not on GDS? It's like race and religion discrimination.
