joem wroteHello,
Ok, I am Wise and since MP Boutros Harb asked to have at least 2MB down, my connection after 5pm get close to zero and giving me hard time daytime.
Here's a conversation I got with Wise sales:
"Joe: Dear, the connection is close to zero, day and night
Salesperson: yes, there is high traffic
Joe: If a new client wishes to have DSL, would u sell him/her
Salesperson: yes, we do
Joe: but you are overcharging the network while it is already fully loaded
Salesperson: Ogero is working on that"
Lesson: hypocrisy/abuse of the internet providers;
I am thinking of shifting to Ogero with a new account. (I am with sin el fil Centrale).
I need speed. would you advise me to go on Ogero?
Thanx
The problem is that Ogero's prices are very low and private ISPs are forced to compete with them.
2Mbit unlimited for 50 dollars only + 6 dollars for the phone line is basically giving away free internet. No one needs more than 2Mbit.
It costs a private ISP more money to give you 512k than it does for Ogero to give you 2Mbit. So we either have to all abandon private ISPs and go to Ogero (and hurting the private sector while doing so), or private ISPs have to raise their prices to get more bandwidth from Ogero. But if they do so, they will lose customers.
And since it is pain to switch between between DSL providers (from what I read on forums), people are stuck with their current providers.
Ogero needs to supply providers with cheaper bandwidth.
