Feedback for Ogero

fegelein

Ogero is finally giving unlimited download at night! The ministry of telecommunications announced this after adding another 10 GB to Lebanon's 23 GB international bandwidth. Though it didn't specify if it's for all regions or a select few, this is actually more important than the last speed upgrade, yet strangely I can't find a single article or even a comment about this anywhere on the web. I thought everyone was crying out for unlimited internet(well torrent and magnet users were anyway), yet nobody seems to care now that it happened?

Finally! when will it start?

EDIT: Ok found this site, but I didn;t understand much, will they add 10 gb bandwidth? Will the unlimited traffic will be only for the 122,000L.L. subscribers?

fegelein

No it will be for applied for all speeds, including the lowest 24,000 L.L 1Mbps plan. More than that I haven't got a clue.

The amendment was supposed to be signed yesterday at Wednesday Cabinet meeting, but no word of any updates so most are presuming it wasn't signed (hopefully just because other more important topics were overshadowing it) and I've heard that it should be signed next Tuesday/Wednesday

Hmm, from what i know, Ogero has the best Pings of all ISP providers right ?!

If that is correct, and with the new unlimited night traffic ..

Prepare for a Huuge croud of customers Ogero..!
I will be switching directly to Ogero after these news are really confirmed

That sounds good in theory, but if this were to happen, other ISP's who are losing customers, would start having better ping rates while Ogero who is going to be taking on all of these new customers, will have a deterioration in performance. It will sort itself out eventually, though.

Hopefully it will never be applied.

Thanks

Hopefully what will never be applied ?!

Good news of the day: change of tarif Decree will be sent to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday
If approved: MOT DSL subscribers will get unlimited quota from 12am to 7am
Also, additional consumption will be decreased to a 100 MB base instead of 1GB

Lets hope it get signed..

Ogero subscribers say goodbye to QoS.

What about Visp subscribers is it confirmed or not is it an official company I'm downloading from 3am till 7 am 4 hours using torrent magnet Url but can't get an accurate speed 1Mb/s i think visp lately shaped torrent ports from 10000 getting a 100MB in 1 hour with 256Kb/s i dont know why visp shaped those ports???

now why would you hope that? :P
this is what happens to me each month from Facebook, reading blogs, general browing and some youtube

I have been paying extra like this since day one of DSL(my case 2007)
so if I take an average of paying 80,000L.L/month extra.. and multiple that by about 4 years and a bit and that ends up with me paying ~$2500 just for extra usage.. just so to use the internet without getting random cuts, or slow downs(a few exceptions) and I never torrent on my connection

I hope it does get passed so that I can save up some money/month and with the news of international bandwidth increasing(23gbit/s to be 33gbit/s in a few weeks) hopefully this means the QoS won't decrease as it would have with only 3Gbit/s international bandwidth)

You cannot possibly consume this amount of bandwidth with regular usage. Are you sure your LAN is not cracked by some neighbor of yours?

Khaled

mmm well yes ....

I think it wouldnt be a bad idea to let this pass

I have mixed feelings about it too--I want the extra quota, but when it becomes a free for all, it doesn't usually work out for the end user. I wish they would have doubled the quotas for example, until at least the bottlenecks in the network are worked out.

Raficoo--is the 10 gig plan available in your centraal--that costs 32K and gives you more quota to work with and maybe reduce your overages?

Unlimited Night Traffic means only one thing: Everyone is abusing the bandwidth.

I myself, do not consume much per month but when I do, I want my connection to be of great quality. I used to get that with Ogero, but as of a few months ago (hint: decree) I haven't had any decent service whatsoever.

The difference between Ogero and other ISPs was that Ogero did not provide Unlimited night traffic. If this passes, you may as well kiss all your online gaming goodbye.

2 users at home, and I'm pretty sure not cracked, switched to WPA2 long ago :)

I beg to differ. In 90% of countries of the "civilized" world they have unlimited quota 24/7, and their gaming latency is always adequate for gaming.

No matter how much you beg to differ that my logic doesn't apply outside Lebanon, my statement holds correct, granted, well we do live in Lebanon.

Everyone uses the internet for his own needs, I myself do not need unlimited quota, neither night or 24/7. All I want is a decent connection where my speed wouldn't drop to 3KBps at peak hours.

My days of "I want to download the Internetz" have ended at least 10 years ago.
