Latency is pretty low in my end (Bouchrieh/Dora) the highest ping I got from my 2 or 3 months of subscription was 200. I get 100s most of the time.

My latency is low as well (Tarik el Jdideh), also 100 ms and 120 at max.

hey question about the unlimited plan for sodetel, i already have the 2M from them, its good for downloading,youtube online games ps3

Its was really great with Sodetel for about 3-4 months now.. With a 90ms ping to google...
Its back to 350-400 now !!!
Im with the unlimited package.

If you care about raw speed, go for it. They have 2M starting at $33/month. They also got the unlimited package. You should look at someone's latency who live near you. My latency is always in 100s-200s but I live near Dora. If you care about latency more than speed, you can get Ogero or IDM. However IDM has had problems with some games connecting, I have to double check that (Check the BF3 post)

I am a telecom engineer and I am in KSA using mobily and stc networks. The network IP you gave me I can't trace its source.
I know that the following ranges are for Sodetel
89.108.128.0 -- 89.108.191.255
212.40.128.0 -- 212.40.159.255
212.101.224.0 -- 212.101.255.255
Edit:
The range 93.126.128.0 - 93.126.255.255 is routed via 77.94.34.91.satgate.net in Russia and I am getting a ping of 435 ms, this is over satellite.
If you are not a static IP user diconnect for a while and hopefully you will get an IP of the above ranges that are routed over fiber.
According to this quite old post, the IP range 93.126.128.0 - 93.126.255.255 is (was?) via satellite. I'm now within that range and my connection is pretty decent in all terms, even my ping's been awesome for one straight week, I'm not sure how long is this going to last. Is it just pure luck ? And how do I know via what is my IP routed, traceroute ... ?

Hello,
My broadband internet connection is too slow and it is limited to 600 MB per day.
So i decided to change to DSL connection.
i heard that Sodetel is offering an unlimited package having the following form:
Name : DSL-1M unlimited
Upload : up to 512 Kbps.
Download : up to 1 Mbps.
Volume : Unlimited
However, reading reviews i head that there is a Quota,
I am not a heavy user, i barely pass the 30 GB per month.
Please note that i do not use my internet for gaming, only Skype and downloads.
did anyone try this package?
Can i get any feedback about it?
Thank you

I'm using the Sodetel 1Mb Unlimited plan since 12/02/2013.
I downloaded 55,010.56 MB so far (in 12 days), and the connexion is still acceptable for what I pay. I think I'm FUPed since the maximum speed is around 90 Kb/s but it's much better than most of the cable plans I used to get before going DSL (last time, I had VISP and it was horrible).
Upload is very good as well. P2P and streaming are not always at their best but it's still good compared to the average level I use to have in this country.

I have been using Sodetel Unlimited 1M for more than a month, and all I can say is that it is awesome.
The speeds are (usually) always between 80 and 110 kB/s even during peak times and after lots of downloads. I only got once 40 kB/s during a peak time, I called and they said that they were having problems.
The ping is usually 150-200 (not a problem for me). Upload is 15-40 kB/s.
One disadvantage is that I sometimes have to wait like 15 mins after the router turn-on to get the internet, and another is that sometimes they have "problems" and I get that router login page.
PS: I live abt 60m away from the centrale:p

I've been having a lot of issues with my Sodetel ADSL connection recently, for months. Support aren't being supportive at all. Kindly, anyone who has issues, send me a PM with the problem. I'm sending them a detailed file next week. Thanks.

I have the 4 Mb Sodetel ADSL plan. I mainly use my connection during peak hours in the afternoon and at night. I have been experiencing several issues as well.
First of all, my connection speed is being limited to 100 KB/s from 12:00 AM to around 3:00 AM. At first I thought it was related to some FUP but this is happening every single day (may in fact be FUP since I'm not sure about how/when they 'reset' it).
In addition, YouTube is barely usable after 12:00 AM. I cannot even buffer videos due to the slow connection unless I resort to using Chrome extensions that bypass YouTube's buffering policies.
I also feel like the latency is terribly high. I was planning on starting to play multi-player games online, but I have a feeling it won't work out as expected.

I'm having problems too. Though, knowning the Lebanese way, I doubt there'll be any improvement.
My problem is with frequent disconnections. I notice it sometimes when browsing and often when I'm on a long SSH session. It lasts for a few seconds only but at certain times it makes working very difficult. I can't call support about it because I cannot reproduce it and its frequent but doesn't happen constantly. Some days are worse than others. I'm on the 4Mb plan and have been a customer for several years.

Hello everyone. Im on Sodetel Unlimited Offer 1MB. I am about to reach my 100th gb tomorrow and i m afraid the bill will increase drastically because i dont believe any of the bundle packages they offer in this country. Did someone get a bill higher than 27$ for his unlimited 1MB when downloading with big quantities? thanks.

I'm using the same offer but I pay using refill cards. I download a lot, just like you, and no additional costs.

Sodetel decreases your internet speed, they do not increase your bill.
