Truepeace wrotePing is not stable now (200+ on EU in Smite), it was stable for like a week and before it it was terrible and unplayable for 1 week.
Ping is pretty stable for me (100ms on overwatch, EU), It's just the packet loss that makes games unplayable, it freezes for about 1 sec and then continues like nothing happens, it's really annoying and I wanna see if I am the only one experiencing this issue.
It's also happening all day, even in the early morning when the lines are not congested as much.
Just called terranet and they said they don't block any ports. Tried it on the technicolor modem. Still no luck. Any advice?
What's the WAN IP on your modem ? is it public or private ?
If it is private (like: 10.X.Y.Z or 172.16.X.Y or 192.168.X.Y) then forget about forwarding and hosting a server it wont work.
192.168.1.1 (tp link) and .254( technicolor). I made the IP static beforehand, but still didn't work. I'm a total noob at this. Is there anyway I can get it to work? Couldn't find anything on google about it, so it shouldn't be a common issue.

I hate the technicolor modem all the ISPs give and I find it very retarded and useless so I bought for me and for 3 of my friends a TP Link modem router from their reseller in Dora, it was at 44$ yesterday but I find it's totally worth it and it's very user friendly (at least compared to the technicolor which they tell you it costs like 70$ -_-) and packed with many useful things.

Well of course not it's not okay.
I downloaded a patch for overwatch last night (about 2Gb) and got hit by the FUP hammer of doom. Why give us a quota of 50Gb if I basically cannot access the internet after downloading only 4% of my total quota. That's bloody ridiculous.
If I got a dollar for every time I hear "fi daghet 3a central el metn estez" when I call their (ridiculously incompetent) costumer support I would have applied to the US presidency.

My life basically is a constant cycle of: Go to uni -> Come back home late at night hyped to play something -> Realize internet is shit at night -> Wait till 12AM -> play till 2AM -> Wake up sleep deprived.

Do yourself a favor and don't subscribe to TerraNet even if your life depended on it. Been coping with their shit for two years now and I think I might need a therapist soon.
ManOwaRR wroteSwitch ogero never look back
Well I would really love to do that but I cannot afford 1-2 months without DSL.
Suggestions for a temporary solutions in the meantime are most welcome. I tried connect and it doesn't work where I live, so that's off the list.

Any local cable guy
Terranet is so crap, they don't admit they're the ones applying FUP and they blame the centrales whereas an Ogero user in the same central never faces slowdowns. I switched to Ogero, best decision ever, it took them exactly 3 weeks, they didn't even require a cancellation form but I had it already (it took terranet 1 week to do it) plus terranet took back the free modem they gave me at the beginning of my subscription because "it hasn't been 1 year since I registered with them". That was never mentioned anywhere but I'm glad I gave them back the crappy Technicolor and left they're crappy FUPed service. I used in the meantime a WISE wireless box, but it's so low on GB and 1mbit of speed that I spend most of my time at university but it was so worth it.

anyone facing terrible packet loss? Browsing is impossible and forget about online gaming
Connection turns to shit in peak times, after 2 years I finally pulled the plug and cancelled my subscription. Now I'm stuck with the local cable guy for the next 4 months until the monopoly that goes by the name Ogero "installs" their modem.

Took Ogero 1 week to install and get everything up and running after I applied...

I don't want to have spoken too soon, but it appears that after a while of really bad internet in the evening and night, Terranet has pulled things together recently.

I managed to download more than 2 GB in less than 3 hours on a 2Mbps plan.

Anyone can corroborate the improvement? Is there any word of overhauls?

I was very wrong. Nothing has improved, in fact things have gotten notably worse.
guys i am about to work with terranet to provide me a dedicated microwave cnx to a gaming lounge, is there any problems with the company that i should know about ?

I am a Terranet's customer since 2008. I never tried another ISP, but I believe they are not the best in Lebanon. Ogero is definitely the best for personal use. The speed is good throughout the day even afternoon where every Lebanese in online. The customer care is good. Never faced a problem. Overall I am satisfied. I can only tell you about my personal experience no idea about microwave ...

If I was at your place, I wouldn't even think about it. Just go through this thread and see.
