Thank you :)

Guys have noticed on Sodetels site something called DSP (something with a D service provider), saying if your withing the Sodetel DSP, higher speeds are supported...
1. Whats the DSP as opposed to ISP?
2. How does this affect latency? To date Ogero is best, no?
When will we ever enjoy decent online gaming? God, please?

DSP is Data Service Provider, those are the guys who deliver you with the Internet such as Ogero and Sodetel.
Regarding the Latency, the forum has a lot of posts about this topic.

I dont know about ping cause apparently some ISPs became better than ogero, I'm getting a constant 70ms ping with France [TerraNet] , whereas alot of Ogero users have been complaining for the last month about latency, especially the ones that did not receive the upgrade yet, however this might be a temporary issue or might not!
Regarding speed though, people with Sodetel DSP got upgraded while others, even Sodetel users, are still waiting on Ogero. Also , if you had Sodetel DSP, you would be able to participate in the Cheap 4 mbps plan.
Since you are talking about gaming, you are mostly interested in ping, my only advice to you is to wait, but I predict that all ISPs will end up having similar pings, afterall we are all connected to the same cable.

i have a 512kbps 8GB plan with WISE. until this morning i was still getting my very stable 512 connection.
I ran a speedtest this morning and got this:
so i checked my account and saw that i got upgraded to 1Mbps 12GB for 27$/month. My office is in Dora area so Jdeideh central
i think it is a very good package.

Sodetel at their site wrote : Fair Usage Policy is applied (to the unlimited night traffic)
I need an ISP where can I download every night...my friend is downloading from TerraNet every night without any problems (sure it gets slow from 11PM to 2AM) but after that gets back to normal speed,
Any Sodetel heavy downloader user can tell me the situation there ?!
coz TerraNet 2M is 40$ and Sodetel 2M is 30$ !!

Thanks for the feedback, and after calling IDM, Sodetel, Ogero and reading most of the related posts in this forum, praying, fasting, and consulting the Dalai Lama, I have decided to, as you advised, wait! :-)
PS: I dont pray nor fast (One of the unique things about internet in leb apart from down, up and ping)

I have ogero hdsl, and remember what a lot of people complained about the quota counters over counting, well I just had a look at the October bill....well, even though the quota is 40gb, I was charged 84000 LL (equivalent of 14gb) of over consumption, so I guess the f...up is now in the charging too. So all of you ogero subscribers out there, whatch your October bill before paying.

Still 1mb speed max in Achrafieh no 2mb !! :(

Given that no discussion can be done at the Internet Articles post, I wanted to see your opinion about the last article posted
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/Business/Lebanon/2011/Nov-22/154830-submarine-cable-to-speed-up-internet.ashx#axzz1eQA93MEa
How long do you think before that cable goes operational? If it is like IMEWE I expect around 4 years

Anyone losing DSL connectivity tonight ?
Happened twice in the last hour. Last modem light goes off for about 2 mins and then comes back on.
