Second, i don't think there is a fix for this issue, it's very simple, what we do is we keep DC/Connect until we get a different IP with lower ping, you dont have to do that by turning off ur modem manually, simple access your modem on your computer and click the DC button. As for speed, i have noticed that speedtest websites tend to give a rather false results. I tested my connection and for an almost 1.5Mb speed but then opened a torrent file and managed to get 300Kb download speed. So don't judge it solely through speed test websites. Other than that, as long as the DC/Connect is working, i truly believe Sodetel is superior to all the others. I heard lots of complaints from IDM and Terranet users. Sodetel do have a high level of stability which i really enjoy.
Opps... My bad here. I just saw the name 'Sodetel' and got too excited to rant about my problem.
Seems I'm not the only one here who's frustrated about this.
I do not only depend on speed test sites though, I don't know, it just feels slower. Whenever I open a page, whenever I try to load a youtube vid (most of the times I have to refresh the page several times to watch a single youtube vid!).
Even downloading a relatively large file can be agonizing. It often fluctuates between 0 (yes ZERO) and 150 Kbytes/sec.
I am fed up. Sodetel's customer support is BAD. they don't even have a twitter account to communicate with their subscribers.
Lebanon is hopeless.
