Anyone else getting low speeds since yesterday night ? I'm on the 4 Mbps plan and only getting about 150 kB/s down.

Wasn't sure if I should post this under "Internet in Lebanon" or here. But, since I am an Ogero subscriber I decided to try here.

My problem is the following: When I first turn my modem on in the morning my parameters are:
Data Rate: 4,096kbps
Max Rate: 7,700kbps
SNR Margin Down: 18.5 dB

As soon as the sun sets everything drops to:
Data Rate: ~3,650kbps
Max Rate: ~3,700kbps
SNR Margin Down: 9.5 dB

As you can see the SNR Margin drops by quite a bit and the modem has to resync so I lose connectivity.
Now, I understand that at night DSL is more affected by interference such as radio waves, ppl at home using more appliances, etc... but is it normal to see the SNR drop to half the original value ?

I'm guessing the phone line (or DSLAM) is longer than the usual (3+km). Ionosphere height increases at night causing signals to go farther and thus causing crosstalk, ADSL frequencies are similar to MW radio, the effect is only possible with very long lines, that and probably crosstalk from heavy users during these hours. Are your phone wires outside (street post) or under ground?
Post your full stats, especially attenuation.
I believe the wires are underground as I do not see any street posts nearby.

Line Attenuation: Downstream 43.8 dB - Upstream 32.7 dB
Power: Downstream 19.3 dbm - Upstream 11.3 dbm
Some people have reported that certain types of LED's will screw up their connection. See what lights are turned on in the building and then turn them off and on and see if there is an effect on your connection. Maybe start with your own apartment and see if any lights or other appliances are affecting your connection too.

Anyhow, good luck---also check if the connection changes when street lights turn on too. At least you can narrow down where the problem can be then.
I am very disappointed with Ogero as well. I have been a subscriber for around 5 years, it had always been stable. When open speed came out I used to get 6mbps all the time. Now I only get that speed from 1 am to maybe 8 am. And then it reverts to 3.5mbps But here is the catch: during the day if I actually hit 3.5mbps speed for around 5 seconds, my router reboots. I had to actually throttle my router to only use 2mbps during the day so that I can keep a stable connection... It is absurd.
@user this seems to be a modem issue.
@DG atten. is far from bad in optimal conditions, it's still high for this country. Either way I have perfect stats and getting 60+ re-syncs per day; tested with 3 different modems, and there is nothing I can do, scope showed no inductance or noise during these times. There is not much to do except try raising your SNR margin manually (search this forum) or get the cheapest second internet connection and use Engarde[0] with both connections, it will duplicate and discard packets from each connection in FIFO fashion, you will have 0% packet loss, low latency and no bufferbloat for gaming everytime DSL goes down or the second one, I may post a tutorial around here soon. Though I wouldn't worry about it if the resyncs are low, raising the SNR margin is more than enough.

if it was a router issue, why does it work perfectly after midnight?

Maybe you have a typo, resync not reboot I guess?
Or the modem is increasing it's upstream power during the day causing reboot as it's faulty.
Yes I guess, it resyncs. I was refering to the connection itself resetting and finding a new ip.
@user I once had the same symptoms and changing the modem fixed it. The modem was really old back then. I cant guarantee that you are having the same issue but if your modem is more than 3 years old then that makes it more likely.

Update: after I left the country my brother was snooping around the routers, and it turned out I had the wrong adapter attached to the modem and it was not getting the amperage it wanted. Once he plugged it in correctly he says much of the problems for him went away(we had wifi problems too) not sure if it impacted the dsl connection itself and if it was behind the reboots but it might be safe to assume that.

So I guess you guys were right. I had the wrong charger plugged in for 4 years. Better late than never I suppose.

For the life of me I cannot connect with vpn other than l2tp on ogero, all express vpn protocols aren't working. is any of you aware of any issue? thanks
I am using PIA with OpenVPN UDP and all is good.
OpenVPN TCP and UDP aren't working, are you using Ogero DSl?
Nevermind got it sorted out.

Go for it blindly, I live in Bchamoun, we were the first who received the VDSL in Lebanon. In the beginning, I was not impressed by the VDSL speed 1 Mbps upload and 16 Mbps download. But after the Ogero technician visit, it turned out the issue was from the modem and the wiring, and he recommended changing the modem and connect directly with a cat6 cable to the phone box.

I followed his recommendation, and below are the steps I have done:

-Make sure the installed Modem support VDSL2 100Mbps (I use to have the technicolor modem provided by Ogero max speed 20Mbps)
-I upgraded the modem to Archer VR2100 (better performance from the technicolor)
-Installed a direct cat6 cable between the Ogero box and the modem

After the upgrade, the connection is now 10 Mpbs Upload and 50 Mbs Download.

Hope this will help if you want to apply with Ogero VDSL.
Hey, Ogero users, any speed reduction during this cutoff?
