wAzAntar wrotesory guys but what is fair usage policy ? i did't understand what it is ! ?
It means if you use too much resources and it starts to affect other users or system performance, you get throttled because you are using more than your fair share.

thank you for telling me , i think it can be done by making limit to download like each user have 1 GB in the night !
Kassem wroteThere should be a strict Fair Usage Policy, otherwise Ogero's connection will be as miserable as the private ISPs' connection. People should grow up and stop downloading the whole internet just because they can.
again and again I repeat: as far as I can see, Ogero users' speeds, pings, and stability are unaffected by the unlimited night traffic, so I don't see a need for a FUP, little alone a STRICT one. if it's not broke, don't fix it.

edit: so far I only see Jinx getting the high ping at night, which is weird considering me and Kareem are getting normal pings

I'm doing to do a few speed and ping tests now and compare them at the unlimited traffic time and see how much a difference are we talking about it here. If the difference on ping is 30-100ms, then yes I would agree on a FUP, but 3-10ms is barely noticeable.

Too early to judge... not everyone knows about Ogero providing Unlimited night traffic, too many people are switching to Ogero from other ISPs ( at least people I know ); Migrating from ISP to another takes a month or more so expect the service to be affected in July.

I also know many guys who are not aware of Ogero latest annoucement... remember it's a geeks forum and we are the first to know about it.

well the minister announced it on Local TV and had a press conference before that announced the decree, anyways by then more bandwidth will be available to handle the increased stress

here's the tests

Before 12AM:






just a couple of minutes ago(after 12AM):------------------------------------------------------------------------------





also testing downloading the speed is stable at an average of 107KB/s

as you can see the connection is barely affected, if anything it's just a bit better lol

let's keep these as references for the coming months to see if anything changes :)
Weird I get much lower ping than yours 89ms to bbc.co.uk and 95ms to google on average.




Edit: too much spelling mistakes @ 4 o'clock in the morning...

This is most likely because your connection to the central is better than mine in both the wire and distance. My area only supports 1mbit max and my line attenuation is high
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:	28,0 / 50,5

SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:	32,5 / 13,5

Another reason why you will not be that affected with the unlimited downloads at night since everyone in your area is on a 1mbps which means it will be much harder to saturate the network bandwidth.

Anyway as said, time will tell.

Outside of Beirut and the major metropolitan areas, you also have power cuts that will affect the network. With my centraal (Khaldeh), I expect power to be cut at midnight 2 days a week (anywhere from 15 minutes to 6 hours) or more. While not all areas lose power, the cuts in power act as a means of reducing the demands on bandwidth. My download speeds at peak hours (4-6pm) are around 86 kB/s and during the 'unlimited' period are 98-105 kB/s.

I have a 1 meg connection from Ogero.

I really do have a bad feeling on what I'm to going to see on the next bill!
I called 1515 because I have exceeded the total usage by 31 GB ( downloaded 1 torrent file of 17GB and couple of android ROMs ). Still 6 days to go and I have a bad feeling about that as well...

I called 1515 and asked him about my real consumption, he said it was not possible to for him to know since they are dealing with problems related to database whatsoever... he said it should be deducted from the bill anyway but if it doesn't happen, my home number will have to start with 03 ...
