Hi guys I'v been having the same problem starting this week (last 2 weeks of april 2012)

and i have to stay the connection sucks big time now ! i used to have 140ms-180ms which was barely .

I suggest we all call and complain via email so that they hear our issue and revert them back ?
this is their email and their support number is 1278
support@sodetel.net.lb

what do you say ?? lets agree on a day so we can overwhelm them with calls/ emails.
shant wroteits been a week since i ordered my sodetel account
Sodetel is the worst ISP now, why did you subscribe with them ? you should read the posts in this thread from page 13 and beyond :/
shant wroteguys, is the 2GB policy still active over night? i called them and they said i can download as much as i want..several times, now i hear there's a policy? its been a week since i ordered my sodetel account
Aly is right. I'd cancel if I were in your shoes
uh what is the 2 GB policy?

also yes they had a problem with their best gateway today but they later fixed it... no big deal I had to catch up on watching some TV shows anyway :P

in any case, it is sad to be comparing ISPs like this, the difference between the "best" ISP in lebanon and the worst is 100-150 ms ping :P at best! 150 ms is something that can change if the wind blows or it rains or whatever

the fact remains that they all get their internet from the same sources ogero/satellites, and if the source improves they would all improve, instead of trying to change ISPs every month depending on whose direction the wind blows, our best bet is to wait for something new to happen to the nationnal internet, like the 2 mbps upgrade.
It seems that the minister announced that there will be a decrease in the DSL prices next week. Wish they can solve the delivery of E1 lines to private companies as well. props to the minister
well there's someone in my town who has it and its blazing fast, so i thought since we're in the same town we should get same speeds ? if its bad, its ok, its a free setup+1 month free subscription,no worries :P
Even the IP's that used to yield a good latency are aweful lately...is it happening to anyone else ?

Yes, I have been using them as my default DNS servers and now the ping all suck. However they are still better than the other servers. The others take 600ms to ping Google, this takes 380ms. So, HOORA

Thanks for the info bro
The connection is so bad...can't open a page
Guys, are you all experiencing 300+ ms the past 2 days? It's weird.. I used to get ~90-100 ms on a 4GB package but I have a feeling that I wont be getting that anymore because i updated to the 8MB package * something I regret*. Maybe now they will give me 800~ KBS Downloads but deny me from the 90ms access, or is there a serious technical issue going on about?

It's already done. Needs to be modified. If you bothered to read a few posts back, you would see that I have requested screenshots for the modems you guys are using, and NOBODY has responded. And no, I'm a high-school student (Terminale). And if you guys don't hurry up before Monday, I will be too busy to provide it before mid-June. So hurry up.
