romel wrotethe guy went quite for a minute than he said sory sir nothing we can do you can get the fixed ip for an extra 23$/per ,that was when i hung up in his face :)
HAHAHAHAH. Yes too much from them. We should flood them with emails under "fix the ping please" on a daily basis. They can't stop us all! seriously speaking!
shant wrotehow much does a fixed ip cost anyway? and what are the benefits?
shant, before the Fiber-Optic bandwidth capacity upgrades, i tried their fixed ip, in the beginning it was good like 100ms...then by time it started to reach 140-160ms, and when i asked a tech guy how came? He replied: "This is our service".
So, If you are NOT forced to stay like this then don't waste your precious TIME and MONEY on that and get another ISP subscription.

is it just me ? after 12 getting these speeds ?
I'm with terranet but currently connected to Ogero because no ports yet and i got the unlimited downloads at night through it. At 12:00 am, my speed goes stable without any problems: 1 Mbps plan speedtest at 12:00 and above: 0.80 Mbps download; 0.24 Mbps Upload.
Well, at 8 or 9 PM sometimes it goes to average, but anyhow in which way you play die, still better than Sodetel.
romel wrotewell the thing is with sodetel you need to put on the punisher outfit and head down to their company and just make allot of commotion ,they will be obliged to cancel your contract ...thats the way i did it. this is Lebanon after all, if that doesn't work well i would suggest you take a couple of grenades with you just in case :p (jk btw dont do that because its dangerous unless your Rambo).
Well done romel :).
@Shant: i encourage you to do this as well. Sodetel is getting up my nose :@ even though i changed my subscription already.
My ping is low again (lower than before that is)
It just magically got back to 198ms this morning !

But somehow, in BF3, its lagging even more than it was with 480ms !!! what the hell ?!
kk pirate bay is up so it was not sodetels fault -_- and i think flooding their lines might actually work specially if we all threaten them to stop paying or boycott them for a month maybe ??
Anyone else ping is fine today?!
hmm after i saw AVOlio post i have been dc/c for a while to see if i would get the same result, nothing so far least i got was 420ms. anyone else getting good ping please post your speedtest or pingtest result if possible.



its interesting to know other people are starting to get good pings ,mine was still high after about 30 dc/c

any ideas about whats going on ?


this was taken at 7:45pm btw
I reset and reconfigured my modem and now suddenly I'm getting 98ms ping to Google.
how did you reconfigure, can you tell us what you did in detail it would help us allot.

btw any idea what the setup username and password are for the Thomson router i think they are all the same for all of us can you please post them so i can reset and reconfigure.
This has nothing with resetting the modem, its a coincidence, I did the disconnect / connect trick today at around 6:00 PM for about 15 times and I was lucky to get low ping, it only lasted 3 hours and I am back to the 350-400 ms latencies.
@romel, flooding their lines? what did you mean precisely? DNS attack :P?

Dirol wroteActually i'm insisting that if we ALL do FLOOOD CALLS to the MOT Complaints and central investigations on 01-979316/19 or faxing them , it may end up getting up their noses and do something. Nevertheless the MOT policy is different from how it was before and from Ogero...so there's a chance in here.

We can tell about several similar complaints especially the FAD one about getting a fixed IP, the upload incorrect speed limit of 4 Mbps (@Aly, yes, the decree is NOT enforced on ISPs regarding the prices but the speeds should be universal), and etc...

You just pick certain couple of days to start and i'm willing to be the first volunteer. It is worthy to give a try their acts toward us. Are you going to remain standstill!. You won't lose anything and it only costs few seconds of a call.

So who's in?
I'm DEFINITELY in ! And if you guys think that its better to actually go to sodetel, then I'll be in as well !


And at around 8:45 I reset my router twice to get 100 ms, but then pings are back to 400+.
Tried my luck just now:

Bye bye. Have a nice day!!!
I had no luck.
hmm i think we are more than 20+ people over here who all have the same issue with sodetel, we should make a signed petition,and send it to them 20+ subscribers give us better pings or we leave ?? i think that would get their attention. what do you guys think ?

I don't think they'll believe, but consider me in!
