upgrade =Ogero
period
That's what they said when I called, Ogero users have the priority so they got speed upgrades whereas other ISPs didn't; however, new users get instantly upgraded speed -_-

Hey guys, called Wise yesterday asking them about their service, specifically pointing out that ever since the Ogero update, our connections have become worse in both speed and latency. The guy talking to me actually replied that that is true and that they will remain this way until they receive their own upgrades which "will not arrive before March" (translation: not before June the earliest). Called Ogero 5 min later asking them about transfer fees to 4mbps. Hello Ogero.

Lol, I think I'll do the same, but after the Christmas break. Can you please tell us how much are the transfer fees and for how long they'll cut off your internet?

Add me on the list, only 5000 LBP to jump from 0.8mb to 4mb!

Actually I sent them an email maybe a month ago, it's more like a hate mail than anything else.
But what i said in it is true. For more than 7 years and I was always recommending Wise dsl for friends, and till now I have like 4 friends subscribed to wise, but they also recommended to others from their friends and families. And since the so called "upgrade" and they were nagging "hey mohammad, what's up with wise? when we will get the upgrade" sooner questions became like "hey mohammad my connection is shit, i can't use the internet at all after 4-5pm".

and i was like" hey calm down, they are working on it. they don't have a magic stick!" and later" well i don't know, call them!"

The only thing that WAS holding me was because I needed the internet so bad, i had homeworks to do online and such things. But this is the last month, 12 our home will be internet free. after that, welcome Ogero.

and yeah I will tell all of my friends about my experience and trust me, most if not all will leave Wise soon. Of course if things work out as planned.
The last few weeks Wise internet has been ridiculously bad ,also the ping tom many servers is not less than 600ms so i haven't played any game in 3 or 4 weeks .
i'm really considering changing if they don't fix it soon
But if we re register with WISE, will everything be good again? Because my friend who registered after the upgrades had like a 2+mbit speed. However I don't know if he has the torrent issue since he's not in Lebanon now. But I don't think it's worth trying since they are letting us down now.
So i gave them a call asking for unsubscribing, the lady kept me on hold and another lady picked up, asking why I want to stop the service. I told her that I don't need it any more, didn't tell her that I'm leaving them to ogero, so she replied by just don't recharge this month, and it will be over beginning the next month.

Is she telling the truth? eventually yeah it will stop but i mean really the next month I will be able to subscribe with ogero?
@TrollFatGuy @m_zeid if you can update us on what will be happening next with you that would be great because I'm waiting for january/februray to leave WISE (unless a miracle)

Anyone here have a dlink DSL-2730U? It has so much more settings to configure than other routers and I'm not able to configure it properly

Edit: Installed it using the included CD, it automatically detected most of the settings and the rest was provided for me over the phone.

how's your internet experience now ?
Still quite bad actually; playing MOBA games is acceptable during the day but from 1 pm till 12 am the ping on almost all servers rises to about 350 stable... During that time I cannot reach a 60kb/s download speed... Also, YouTube is NEVER playable... I do not not about you guys, but torrents are the only thing working for me now...
Latency for online gaming is perfect day and night stable 70-80 ms (at least for me).
Browsing is very good as well.
Youtube and video streaming is now better during the day, slow during peak hours, but better than before, it was never playable before at any given moment.
I just tried torrenting without a VPN and it reached full speed! Didn't expect that coming, and I hope it's not temporary. I used to stay connected all day to my VPN because of the torrent slowdown.
For videos, I am now used to put Youtube videos at 240p to watch them without interruption. 360p is sometimes very slow at some parts of the day.
I tried changing the DNS from my Tp link modem to Opendns because at some times facebook and youtube browsing at night was almost Impossible so I thought maybe it would help, at first the OpenDNS check succeeded but now it fails although the settings are still on my modem but I don't care anymore since facebook is now much better I guess.

However, there is still a major problem, the "3am yechte8lo bil centrale" thing which is getting so frustrating, I still have 0.85 mbit/sec while my friend who recently subscribed to Ogero has 4mbit with his plan and it gets even more than that after midnight. I don't get it if WISE can't do anything to upgrade my speed and if Ogero refuses to upgrade a line that isn't theirs, what's the solution ? Moving to Ogero??We'll eventually do it if WISE doesn't fix things with Ogero...

I was pretty much satisifed when I was using Wise from late 2013 and 2014 but this year it's getting shittier than ever, when I was subscribed to the 1mbps plan I was getting solid 120 kb/s after I was subscribed to 2mbps plan I'm getting 95kb/s and it's ridiculous.
I want to change to Sodetel.
