Kareem wroteNow the question is... Are we gonna have our upgrade or are we gonna have reduced rate ?

Say if I have a 1mbps connection now and paying 115,000LL excluding VAT, will the new connection bandwith be automatically upgraded to 4mbps along with the quota or the price iwill automatically drop to 34,000LL ?

because in the 2nd case, I will have to get the last bill and take my dad to sign some papers at Ogero etc... and then wait for the other month to get the bandwidth upgrade...

If in your area the new speed is available ( which is 4Mbps in your case ), you'll be upgraded to it, if you can't get it, you'll get maximum speed available with more quota. They wont give you 1Mbps for less money, you'll pay the same for higher speed.

Kareem, you do not need your dad to go and upgrade it. You, as his son, can do it. I've done it many times. (besides, you can get a copy of the last bill from the central office)

1 MB Connection = 100 KB Download Speed ?

1 mb/8 = 125kb download speed

1024 / 8 = 128 KBps :)

Just remember this is Up to 1Mbps, which just like now I'm getting 24KB/s max with 256Kbps, we'll get 100~110KB/s with 1Mbps

I wish this was the case but couple of times I went there and they said ( at Bir hassan ) " El ishtirak bi ism bayyak lezim yejeh "

For people asking about the 1mpbs , In my case I only get 908kbps and download rate is somewhere near 110KB/s best case.

@ 4mbps I think we only get 3.5Mbps-3.6Mbps if we are lucky and our line supports that speed.

whatever happened to these prices? will they be implemented?
ISP = Terranet.

I'm an idm user i have 128Kbps speed when i wanted to upgrade to 256Kbps they told me that my line doesn't support this speed so after the new decree will be applied will the speed stay the same or will they upgrade my line or put something like a repeater?

amkahal

@bigjudge: the first table describes how Ogero will sell ADSL connections to private sector, and those are not the prices for the end users.

Will it take non-DSL providers like VISP longer to recieve the new connection than DSL providers?

xterm wroteI hope Ogero never gives unlimited, I don't want my network to get congested by all the "I d0wnl0ads internets" users.

hmm one question, as far as I know, DSL connection is not affected by the number of users around you, it is affected by the distance from the ISP and your place.

I am with you that Ogero doesn't give unlimited, but can you explain please how does more downloaders affect the speed?

hussam

FuSe, 10GBits/second isn't much to be honest at Mbits/second. Users will eat it quickly if you give them unlimited. No constrains => people can download 24/7 => networks get congested again.

hi all,

i dont know if any1 touched this before but do u guys think that we will see latency improvement with the new dsl connections?

i currently have ogero 512 package, playin black ops, my ping ranges between 150ms - 200ms...playable...but of course anything below 100ms is awesome...however lately, i am havin difficulty playin as the ping gets really unstable...sometimes just goes up to over a sec before coming back to normal. i have tried everything to resolve this (changed modem, changed lines, changed filters..no luck)...really ruins your gaming experience...so do u guys think this will be improved?

thanks

The backbone is being converted to fiber, it should bring latency improvements.

GreenM

how long is this going to take? we need to have lower pings soon.

Are you sure ? we need confirmation

hmm I see, thanks for the reply hussam, and yeah can we confirm the latency improvement?

hussam

http://imewecable.com/ says we'll be connected directly to Europe so my guess would be we'll get a much more stable connection to European game servers which should give better latency that the 700 to 2000ms we now get from satellite connections.

does anyone know where can i find a cheap and good ADSL modem for Ogero ? (other than the 86,000 L.L modem provided by Ogero)
