what are you going to do it happened to me last summer i spent a week with no connection because baabda central was overheating
(i promise that's what happened silly but true ) say thanks for the government who doesn't allow any private company to sell internet not provided by her so no competition.
No competition = slow upgrades, bad quality, high prices...(and corrupted in lebanon)
shady282 wroteThanks i tested my internet connection in the morning and was good, but i was wondering, can i give my username (the Lnumber) and password to my cousin so he can use my internet quota since i still have a big quota and few dates remaining. would it work if he connects the broadband with my account?
i think the only isp where this work is ogero.i know a lot of people that do it .
I'm going to call again on monday and ask for answers. If they don't give me good answers I'll tell them that I'll unsubscribe.

I never really had any big issue with IDM but no connection for a week without any explanation or compensation is bullshit.
Silentcontrol, when you had a similar problem, what did they tell you it was exactly?
I called again today and he told me that the problem is with my line but in their central and that they're working on it. I am skeptical because do they really need more than week to fix it ? And he didn't give me more detail. He said that they'll call me when it's fixed but he doesn't know when.
I have a IDM connection via a reseller (after the visp scandal yay) and they actually have a nice ping but the problem is I'm unable to log in into league of legends, I can log in via 3g then when I'm in game I connect to IDM and It works fine once I get through the log in screen,
And youtube isn't working too, I asked my reseller he told me that they are switching the google cache(?) from visp to idm.
Anyway, is anyone else having these problems on IDM?
40kb/s peak now.... I should be getting 650kb/s, that's what it used to be. What a shitty company!?
I think IDM are having some problems, maybe my reseller wasn't lying after all ^^.
Logically, i see no reason why IDM cyberia etc would have good stable internet if they buy it from ogero, which naturally tries to get more clients.

expect ogero does not always sell you capacity.
I used to work for IDM support in telesupport ( part of ITG ) this is one sad ISP..
I'm fed up with people saying that IDM became worse but it's really reliable connection, it's the 2nd best ISP in lebanon. I've got the IDM 4 Mbps plan, With 90 ms ping to europe servers plus Real IP. I admit I use to get FUP but since they caught the illegal providers i've getting no less than 4 mbps even in peak times . What I want to clarify here is that the reason why your connection sucks is 1) your line stats 2) ogero centrals sucks ass
I am linked to mazraa central which was shit but now I clearly have no problems with IDM anymore.
Plus I can download 1 GB in 30 min which is great...

Same Here .. i have been saying how good this ISP is .. but it seems other subscribers are having a lot of troubles and it is very hard to put blame on IDM when Ogero just have bad equipment and bad servers and are treating ISPs and their subscribers as 2nd rate citizens :S .. It will eventually come down to how lucky you are and how good the central you are connected to.

So you think that when I or the ppl on this forum complain about the internet provided by IDM it's because we have a personal problem with them ??? No sir, we are complaining cause we are getting a bad connection, and ''if'' some1 from IDM reads forums like this they know that we are not very pleased....
I am with IDM since last summer and I am connected to Jounieh central and it started good (on Lebanon standard) but since January it's becoming worst and worst day by day.
I have the 2 Mbps plan and I am regularly getting <100 KB/s DL speed and the worst part is i get 300-400+ ms to europe servers with lag spikes in between on peek times.

I would like to add that we all know that it's Ogero and it's owner that is willingly making other ISPs bad on top of making the Lebanese internet one of the worst worldwide, but if we don't complain they will think we are OK with what we are getting.

You're right but some people just curse IDM thinking it's on their ends . Well no it's OGERO that want to get all profit and make the private ISPs as shit. In your case it's jounieh's central problem, because like I said mazraa cO was shit and now it's clear of problem . It's only a matter of time : fixing the god damn centrals or linkin' us to fiber optics once and for all .
Note : For better latency get a real IP so they can put you in the gaming pool for ultimate experience.
It is not free, if one pays for something and doesn't get it, it's normal to curse the provider.
If these people aren't suffering from the terrible internet, they wouldn't speak about it, regardless where the internet comes from, ogero or ferrero, i mean if idm can't handle their problems with ogero, they'd better shut down.
You know what's funny? The definition of a real ip that these companies give. It's more like pooling. For a gaming account they put you in a less shitty pool. There is no such thing as a real ip per customer concept in lebanon.
Is it possible to get a real ip and put me in the gaming pool if I have an IDM connection (Not DSL) via a reseller?

Well IDM are not responsible here. Your best bet is that your reseller is a good person. Since you are accessing IDM over HIS access point. He can do whatever he wants. I had a reseller who made me pay 50$ for 512k 3 years ago from cyberia. Then one day he just started messing with the ping and forced it to a minimum of 300ms. Resellers man... What are you gonna do...
