Are you with Sodetel ? I am not sure they have an IP block starting with 173, well I never got an IP with sodetel starting with 173 (I am with Sodetel for more than a year), a quick search revealed that 173.194.34.xx belongs to Google, are you sure this is your IP ?


@Rukoren the 190.X and 191.X used have low ping in the past.
Well i had low ping until today. The DC/Connect always solved my problems but today it's a whole different story. I do believe it's affecting all Sodetel users cz my friends are having the same problem.

Sorry my bad I copied the ip from the ping cmd instead of ipconfig cmd
its 192.168.1.xx
EDIT : no issue here , it is 100-120 i am playing LOL right now , yes iam sodetel
ph_black still wrong man, this is your modem's private IP, its used to access your modem through your lan, can you please check your Real IP ?
You can know your public IP here: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
One more question, do you have the expensive gaming package from Sodetel ? or a normal residential package (Which one if yes) ?

93.126.179.195 low latency atm sodetel user , but im sure it wont last
IP Information: 93.126.179.120
ISP: SODETEL S.A.L.
Organization: SODETEL S.A.L.
dsl-pool120

no gaming package , same old disc/connect until good pool
Thank you for the above guys, i never got an ip ending with 179.X maybe the probability of getting one is very low. I will see tomorrow with sodetel if this shit will continue.
Well check it at around 8 am before leaving to work and the ping seemed to be fine. Back to its usual 100. But the question is whether it's gonna stay this way or if its gonna skyrocket again during the evening when more users are on.
the announcement seems to be that ogero will now have unlimited from 12 to 7. which is only great news if you are with ogero

and ogero would have been a good option now, except that they don't have a tech support whatsoever
Any sodetel user who can check the ping now?
I will check when I come back home Ruroken, I see you said your ping was low in the morning before going to work while on my side I woke up and tried to ping google it was 400 ms before I go to work, what's the situation now ? did it stay low ?
Well not sure, i'm still at work. Will be checking in around 2 hours from now and gonna post the result
Just got home, and i'm getting 300-400 ping and internet speed not reaching 2Mb. Again, im gonna ask them and if this is gonna be the case from now on i'm definitely going to switch.

Ruroken wroteAny sodetel user who can check the ping now?
it's 400 ms :S bad as ever
Called them and as usual their reply is "Up to 500ms it's normal. We have separated the IPs to normal and gaming IPs" so i guess from now on gaming IPS will get lower latency while others will get the 400ms.
Same here, still high pings, I am in the long conversation with them via email, I will see where it will ends, as they say in arabic "لحاء الكذاب على باب الدار ".

EDIT: that's Sodetel final reply:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for emailing Sodetel.
Please note that the tests below show very normal delay around 380 ms on a shared connection and in rush hours.

Thank you
l3ama ktir hal2ad, how can they say 500 ms is normal? bi ayya balad 500 ms is normal

I ask again, is anyone with terra net dsl and can tell us if they give gaming ips for free>
My reply to Sodetel:
Dear Support;

The main purpose of my email was to get a clear answer if this issue is permanent or not, an increase from 90 ms to 400 ms is not "normal" its abnormal, its an increase by more than 400% of what I previously got, it might be normal and convincing for those who use facebook, msn and whatsapp and truly abnormal to those who use it for VPN, secure tunnels, VOIP, streaming and Gaming.
After the IMEWE upgrade nation wide, as a Sodetel customer I had a 24/7 fiber connection in the first months, then later on it was a 50/50 chance of getting an IP from the FIber pool or the Sat pool, now it looks like all the residential IP pools have their traffic routed through satellite. After a year with a great experience with Sodetel, the internet quality is downgrading while the minister is declaring that he increased the national capacity from 13 Gbps to 23 Gbps and 33 Gbps in the upcoming weeks.
So please I ask my question again just tell me if this thing is permanent ? a straight answer without any beating around the bush and playing the "Rush hours" or "peak time" card, so I would stop wasting your time and switch to another provider if it is going to stay like that.
Sorry if I sounded rude, I know you support personnel have nothing to do with these unfair decisions.
Their reply:
Hi again,

Till now, this is the latency on a shared connection. Meanwhile, we are awaiting for the new updates of the ministry after the new bandwidth decision

Thank you
I rest my case, that's what I wanted to hear, its staying like that until further notice, people who are not satisfied start seeking for other options (that's what I will be doing).
