Questions about Internet in Lebanon will be gathered here. Other topics have grown so much that they have become unmaintainable. Please limit yourself to pos...

@Nuclear: Yeah but that's the thing , he should know everything about his connection
Providers keep on saying this week .. this week and still no progress.

Edit: So today i called my provider and told him to pass by my house because i have a problem with the internet and it was off from the morning.

My provider wired an adapter at our building's roof, so anyone that takes from his connection receives internet.
Turned out it was broken because of the electricity (going on and off) and from the heat nowadays.

When he fixed it, i tried launching CS .. it was a bit better .. just a bit.
I asked him last summer i had a 10-20 latency on CS servers, now i have 200 latency .. what's the problem ?
He said i gave you a server with your connection with was for gaming (From VISP) but then the company wouldn't work with him or any other dealers at that time so the server was off.

I told him okay .. what about the download speed ? Did you limit my speed (FUP) ?
He said no no not at all but since the problem that occurred with the connection in Lebanon made the internet different.

So there was no such thing as FUP and he got me a new adapter today.10-30kb/sec daytime and 30-70 kb/sec at night. Latency is sometimes low but then jumps to 150.

It's a bad connection i suppose ?

what are you pinging to check your latency ?
i mean the part where u said you get 10 to 20 latency on CS servers , what did you mean by CS ?
because it is not possible with the current infrastructure we have in Lebanon to get a latency of 10 to 20 . Normally latency shouldn't go lower than a 70 o 80 ms at best !

you can do low 50s if it is not DSL/ADSL.
On VISP broadband:

mine is 70ms to google.com at worst

CS= Counter-Strike and trust me i have 10-20 and some people who take from WISE have 1-10 latency.

hussam

to what server? what's the hostname or IP of that server?

i experienced that ping once..its buggy...the server is hosted by an ADSL isp..who's do something i don't know what it is to make the ping looks like 10~20...but pinging the server outside the game...its 100~150 ms...

I don't think so my latency was stable all the time, because i told my provider i play CS and i want a good latency. He takes connection from IDM i guess so .. He asked a provider that takes from VISP if he can borrow or take a server IP for gaming that he will merge in with my connection. VISP connection isn't legal. So the summer came and the provider that my provider talked to broke his contract with VISP and i don't have a server IP for gaming anymore.

VISP connection is legal

Hey guys, I'm an Ogero 1 Mbps user and for the past week I've been havng the worst unpredictable internet connection.During the day, surfing and open sites seems to be fine but when I try to watch videos and download directly from a site I get ~ 20KB/s download speed and at night its even worse; sites won't even load sometimes...But here's the gist, my torrent download and upload speeds seem to be perfect every time I tried and ping is always the same. I called Ogero and they said everything was fine on their side and they can't help me anymore than they have.I have a Belkin router configured by Ogero, and I don't know what its password is...plz if somebody can just lead to the direction of the problem I would be eternally grateful.

babum

try using "internet download manager" for your downloads and check the speed. also do you get that same speed with every server or with just one particular website?

kdawg4-956

Well, i never used Internet download manager before, and it was fine, and speed tests show that everything is fine with every server I tried, but I'll still try using IDM

devilsadvocate

My speeds are fine but my ping is around 400 and the jitter is around 18,im a terra subscriber.

I called them and they said it was a problem internationally and it will take about a week to solve?

can anyone else confirm this? how are your pings doing? Online is very laggy atm.

ballad

mine is still at 65ms - VISP
so they are bullsh*tting

hussam

18ms jitter for a 400ms latency is very good.
this means they are putting you on a satellite connection.

NajaLB

i got a high latency on cs 1.6 servers. (200-300 ms)

I still run on a retarded 256 kbps and i will cal him tomorrow to "nag" for a good ping.

LILOX

Hey guys...just like the other terranet users said my speeds are fine but i have a high ping...last week it was around 400 ms and now it's around 600 ms...i called them and they said Lebanon is still receiving his internet via the back-up cable and that the IMEWE cable isn't fixed yet...they also blamed Ogero for making changes so they can assimilate all the congestion they are having lately...I asked them about the solution and how long will it take to get a normal connection back they just said they don't know and it is up to Ogero and how fast will the IMEWE cable be fixed!

nuclearcat

IMEWE is running long time ago and repaired
Statement are incorrect

enthralled

Terranet just called a couple days ago apologizing for bad connection and that it'll need some time to get fixed.
Their call was a real surprise to be honest!

devilsadvocate

Ping is great now,around 124 ms
