Well IDM just replied and said that my line's source is Ogero, and Ogero doesn't give more than 512 for the upload,
If I want I can cancel the process and repeat everything all over again so that my source would be GDS ... then my upload will be 1 MB !!!

I am waiting a call from a supervisor or a team leader from them...is that true !!
when I talked to their sales (since I request my subscription) I insisted that UPLOAD is 1 MB more than 5 times !!

Offf ... I cant believe it !
By the way, yesterday my 4 MB was very slow, it turned to 768 KB/1 MB all night till it reaches 12 / 12:15 midnight it turns back to normal ( 3.6 / 3.8 MB),
Before 12 I called the support guy, he said its a central problem ... congestion !! lots of users !! ( my central is : راس النبع)

I cant believe what he is saying, he told me switching to any ISP will not solve the problem (central congestion) .. maybe its an IDM congestion here !!

If what he is saying is right...then all of the central users stop browsing the net and turn off their modems at 12 sharp !! its unbelievable


Anyone with (راس النبع) having problems !?
Is it just me or do speeds go down during the evening till 12:15 and it just magically goes back up to 2mbps?
Perhaps you're being throttled?
ragdoll wrotePerhaps you're being throttled?
I have a limited plan so i don't get throttled, during the day it's 2mbps sharp, starts going down during the night starring at around 9pm untill 12:15 midnight.
Super Official wroteIs it just me or do speeds go down during the evening till 12:15 and it just magically goes back up to 2mbps?
Yes 100%
at the evening speed went down ... connection get slowed down,
my 4 MB....went to 1.5 or 2, then magically at 12:15 its back to normal,

I am (IDM user as you know) at central Ras Nabeh , which central are you connected to ?
The customer support said that its the central congestion... Maybe its an IDM congestion then!

I am connected to the zouk mikael central. They told me it's a central congestion, and that there are 2 lanes in the central or something like that, and that the lane that I am connected to is congested. Not buying that ****
I just hope they finish the fiber network so that we can get VDSL2. Then true FTTH. I'm just imagining Lebanon having 100+ Mbps.
Ahmad Toutounji wrotekeep imagining lol
If it works out like every project we will have fiber by 2220.
But imagining having fiber is well, orgasmic. (Don't judge)
@Abou7meed
For the upload true, the client support asked me also to repeat the whole process and pay around 50$ to switch DSP backbone. And then they can give me the 1 upload.

If you can see now SODETEL is boosting its marketing as a final breath to bring back customers, they are literally broke... And IDM is following their path... I have been with IDM for 3 years... the connection was once down for 2 straight month, a second time for two weeks...

As soon as I have time I will be cancel my subscription with them and try out connect the wireless thing

Same here between 6:pm and 11 pm I have the crappiest connection ever....

IDM was good, now it is became just as anyother "dekkeneh"...

The Upload thing was never clarified at the beginning, lama (tekol edarob) .... Ohh Mesyoo there must be misunderstanding, cancel and pay and bla bla bla

and the slow down time is weird, I think they themselves know about the issue and (hopefully working on it) but never tell anyone !

By the way, they changed my account to the Dynamic Real IP thing, slow time (6-7 to 11-12 PM) is still the same,
I didn't notice that major drop down in ping times..... - 10/20 ms maybe (in some Xbox One games)
By the way, I used to subscribe to rapidgator to download Movies/Music/Games....But (Resume Supported = to pause/resume your download) can't work on IDM connection, I tried Wise On IDM and 2 different DSL locations no luck, seems IDM uses something to lock this feature,
But on Ogero/Terranet connection the resume feature works normally,


What about other file host sharing on IDM, Uploaded.net / hugefiles / .......what do you use guys to download ?!
I use torrent "bittorrent" easy and fast .. read posts before downloading things on your pc .. some torrents have viruses
NAM wroteI use torrent "bittorrent" easy and fast .. read posts before downloading things on your pc .. some torrents have viruses
You can download warez (Music/Games/Software/etc...) either by
1. Torrents (peer-to-peer connection)
2. Direct links (file hosting servers) ex: rapidgator , uploaded , etc....

Usually direct links are faster and doesn't depend on "seeding" of what you want !
Any idea if idm uses interleaving? And if yes do you know if i can ask them to disable it?
Silentcontrol wroteAny idea if idm uses interleaving? And if yes do you know if i can ask them to disable it?
They use it, yes, every ISP uses it. I talked to them about turning it off and changing to fast path and they said that we did everything possible to reduce pings on your line and that there is no thing as interleaving. Then I sent them an email containing a link about interleaving, and they said "sir, ma baaref aan chou aam tehke bass ma fi chi esmo interleaving". I told them to get informed and ask anyone about it and they hung up on me!
Well today i called them to ask them about high latency and slow download speeds. I told the support guy that using vpn is boosting download speed from 20 kB to 230 kB and guess what he answered...... "there must be some internal problem in your modem, you must change it"... like really? -_- Does he even know what a vpn is? Then i asked him if i m getting throttled and he told me to hold on. I waited more than 10 min "holding on" then hang up and recalled. Another guy answered and I re asked him if i m getting throttled so he told me that there is congestion on my central and that i have to wait even when i told him that vpn "solves" my problem. Its like he indirectly confirmed that they are throttling.

Just a question, what VPN are you using and how does latency get affected?
