I just received a call from SoDeTel. But it wasn't to announce the new packages; instead, it was a poll.

They asked me which of these choices I would choose:
4 Mb / 12 GB / 40 usd
2 Mb / 9 GB / 30 usd
1 Mb / 6 GB / 21 usd

I told her I'd pick 4 Mb; same amount i'm paying now, and faster.

From the conversation after that, I got these facts:

These are not the final packages. They're choices in a poll, to see what their customers prioritise (price vs speed etc.)

Quota isn't final yet. I made sure to point out that the quotas mentioned are low compared with other ISPs.

Nightly unlimited isn't confirmed yet... basically nothing is confirmed yet. They will upgrade all accounts to 1 Mb around mid-October, and notify customers via SMS.

This month will be charged according to the "old" plans.


I think mine got upgraded to 1Mb.


This is my 10th test on different servers, i'm getting a max ping of 110 ms. I guess we're on IMEWE, i will make sure now.
ok, so far which ISP's upgraded there quotas? I'm with wise and nothing changed so far...!
Well my ping in Aion has went down from 200+ to between 110 and 160ms

P.S: no quota upgrade for sodetel yet, only speed.

Here's the official word from Wise, as expected nothing worth celebrating for

thats for the wireless plan, they're saying that the 256 will become 512 on november 1 nad then it will become 1 mb starting december...
Ogero Subscriber so far no speed upgrade and no Quota update but ping speed seems to have improved.

Personally I think the upgrade is overdue but I think that as far as prices go the quotas along with the new speeds will not result in lower monthly bills people will end up downloading more than their quota and the overages will bring their bills up to previous monthly totals or more. I think without a true free market economy prices will always be higher than other countries the ISPs here will all price their packages close to each other +/- 10% after all they all are more interested in their profit margin above all else. Introduce a not for profit ISP and see how many of them last ;-P
xterm wroteAlso you have to keep in mind that I've been using 'internet' since 9600bps if i remember it's around 1994 and I've waited for 17 years for a day where i could be happy with my connection, so forgive me if i'm irritated by someone giving me false dates.
i was there a year or two after with my 486DX2-66 and cyberia dial up connection on the most reliable US-Robotics

at that timne i had heard the ACK signal of my modem so much i could replicate it perfectly

awesome trip down memory lane :)

you can relive it here, they save pages from 1996 onward with the "way back machine"

Ping is better.. but still no new speeds/quota :/
Yes, it has begun :)
NOW it has begun
and NOT on the 1st as they promissed
"4 times faster" should be a phrase used in substitute for "Bullshit"

on a more related note, still no sign of action from Ogero - from what i can tell from my side at least.
NOW it has begun
Huh?


There is something wrong seriously my connection was perfect before october 80ms and stable ~512kbps, im speechless with this upgrade!
It seems everyone's latency has increased today.

Mine has increased by around 130 ms on all servers
