I got the 2M today, but it's not really 2M I'm downloading at max 190Kb/sec and it's varying a lot.

Depends if you using browser or download manager. Single threaded downloads always slower than multi. Been said hundreds of times.

That said, it has been fluctuating as of late. During early night 7pm onwards it becomes more stable.

No I'm downloading torrents so I think that counts for multi threaded downloads.
use internet download manager. If your modem says 2048 K then your maximum download speed shouldn't exceed 2048/8 * 0.875 = 224 KB/s. My average download speed doesn't exceed 448 KB/s (except for bursts). Torrent speeds fluctuate.

i called 1282 ext2 today to check my upgrade status
she said still pending and asked me to call again before charging my account
to know if i charge 2mb or 4mb which am waiting for!
anyone know the manager name or phone number i will talk to him direct
Don't bother.. i got my 4 Mbps 1 year after minister Sehnaoui announced the new packages. So i don't see why it should be any different with minister Harb. Ogero is the most useless company on the face of the earth and it's control over the central offices is annoying. There are some users benefiting from 16 Mbps just b/c Sodetel DSP is available at their CO..

If anything, i'd try sales but i'm still pessimistic about the whole thing.
hi has anyone noticed that most of the ports with idm are closed? Plz if someone could check Grc shield up (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2). I checked on 2 different idm accounts and same result: most of the ports are closed.
Thank you
You are behind a double NAT with no real IP address, of course they will be closed...
They ddnt used to be. And once they assigned a real ip and i guess they removed it... Is assigning a real ip possible? Is there a way to fix this?

No internet for the past 90 min... any similar complaint?
I noticed that after some kind of an upgrade made by IDM my bandwidth up and down limit has increased but my modem is now syncing to ADSL 1 (G.992.1). if I try to force it to sync to ADSL 2+ like it was before i get disconnected. Has anyone else noticed such a similar change?
Hey guys ! been a long time I haven't been around here :) . Anyway , to the point: I get my IDM connection through Bank Audi (domiciliated). The speed I got when I first applied ( I had chosen the 4mbps one back then, like a year ago or more ) was 1 mbps, because my CO (batroun) apparently couldn't handle more than that.

Anyway, fast forward to two months before the recent upgrades were deployed, I called IDM IT to see if I could upgrade to a faster plan. The guy asked for some figures from my modem (line attenuation , etc) and then told me they'll do a feasibility study and would reply within two weeks max. They never replied.

Now after the upgrades, I see that on the IDM website that I am subbed to the 2048kbps plan, but still I'm only getting 1mbps speeds! (~100KB/s).

Any advice?

Cheers!
Call them, blame them, be rude. That's the only way to achieve something with unprofessional employees.
i've applied for idm 70 days ago , still got nothing , and every time i call the say its going to take 3 more weeks....anyone had similar issue ?
