I have a 512 Sodetel account, and just got a call from the ISP informing me about the new packages. She mainly mentioned the following: Bad news: its almost...

Does anyone know what happened with Sodetel yesterday ??
Outage for about 6~7 hours

One thing I noticed is that their Speedtest.net server has disappeared.

Sodetel " internet tayaran" :D tarit w kattarit. Sorry for the Arabic thingy but I couldn't, with these stupid ads, slow internet.and the usual ping 500 ms.
Despite that I'm currently registering my line with sodetel since their dsp is the best in my area. I can get 2.2mbps unlike ogero 1mbps. same line same distance.

Honestly the ping isn't that bad at all. I remember a few years back it used to be high af since they were using satellite connections but that's no more.

However I have no idea about the unlimited package which seems to always be the least reliable with private ISPs.

I have 2 phone lines the first one is unlimited and the second one will be the smallest plan with unlimited night traffic. I'm in FUP pool all the time. Maybe this is why i'm having a hard time with their connection.

I already have 2 connections load balanced the unlimited from sodetel and a fiber 5 mbps hopefully the 3rd connection will make me leave the FUP pool

with these 3 connections i'm hoping to reach the 9.5 mbps.

Has anyone tried contacting Sodetel and asking what the fuck is going on?

DSL is down for the past 8 hours in hadat/baabda, it is the fourth time this month,last one was sunday all day long.

Internet has been down in Bir Hassan/Jnah since midnight, this is the second time this happens. They sent an apology via sms last time it happened and yet here we are again. What is happening? I've been subscribed to Sodetel since 2012 and never once has this happened for such an extended period of time, at max I'd lose the connection for a few hours but not an entire day.

Hi guys I just wanted to ask has anyone been suffering internet downtimes with Sodetel using a TP-link modem (TD-W8970). My connection dies for like an hour every time i restart the modem.

The linksys x1000 has a software bug where it would randomly hang until you restart it once each 1 or 2 days. I never suggest that piece of garbage to anyone looking to buy a modem.

Depends on what you look for in a modem as budget and features available . If you are looking for a cheap and decent modem with a good interface and that won't cause issues like hanging for no reason D-link modems are quite nice like the D-link 2750U, I found it to be cheap and reliable. Also stay away from TP-link W series they have shitty RAM management it's a pain in the ass sometimes to make them save changes you did in their interface (changing wifi pass for example) even if you try "fixing" it with turning off upnp.

Anyone downloading faster than 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mbps?
I am syncing at 22 Mbps and speed-testing at ~20.
I am never getting over this rate, seems it is hard capped from Sodetel?
So much for open speed!

If you are speedtesting at 20 mbps, it means that your speed is not capped!

mikasa

yea it seems it is capped . before the upgrade i was getting 7 mbps , after the upgrade i'm getting 9-9.5 mbps
