Hello there.
I've been on here for a long time but decided to register now. I've had a question I've needed an answer to for a long time and no one I know's been able to answer it.
Is there ANY non-unlimited plan from ANY of the Lebanese ISPs (since all the unlimited plans, bar Ogero, have it) that doesn't have "FUP" written all over it? I subscribed to the Sodetel (yes.. I know) unlimited plan and got throttled 10 days into it. Called them last month and they told me their limited plans don't have FUP on them. Called them today and they said "well of course they have FUP. All of our plans do."
I'm not really looking for the fastest speeds. I'm fine with the 2Mbps speed from Ogero as long as it's stable for gaming (mainly DotA2 and TF2), but if there's a faster, just-as-stable option that doesn't throttle me left, right and center, it'd be great.
Regards.

Ogero is your choice.
No FUP on the limited and unlimited plans.
Pings stable all day long, not like sodetel stable maybe at 500ms.
Your best option is to go for 2mbps unlimited for 50$ and clear your mind of extra usage every month.
Or if not a heavy user, get the limited 2mbps.

How's the ping on Ogero's lines?

Very good and stable.I used to get 120ms on most European servers,but after I asked to disable interleaving,I'm getting 80ms.

57ms ping to paris server in battlefield 3 (with interleaving off) and stable all the time

I heard turning interleaving off comes at a price, though. Some error/instability thing. Any truth to it?

Yeah,it's true.I somewhat made a mistake disabling it as I,at random times,get bursts of noise that causes disconnections that lasts 20secs-20mins,before disabling it that didn't happen but I can live with it.Anyways,post your line stats from your router's gateway so we can see.

I'm not on Ogero yet. Still on Sodetel for now. Switching takes ages so I'm waiting til I have a backup connection.

Figured I'd ask this here and not make a new thread.
How does the switch to Ogero go? Can anyone who has done the switch tell me what to expect? The situation for me is the fact that the phone line is registered under my neighbor's name, so they have to do the application. I've been told to expect a waiting time of ~2 months, same as I did when switching to Sodetel. Also been told Sodetel has a cancellation fee. Is there anything else that'll happen?
Also, how does the online Ogero application go? I just apply and wait? Or are there some documents they need at the closest centrale or something?

Don't apply online to ogero. I have not personally tried it, but government barely works when you go to them, I do not think they are efficient enough to work online.
I made the switch from sodetel to ogero, but I had a "wasta" (friend of a friend of a friend) And the whole think took 10 days. I was amazed. It's sad how this country actually has the ability to work, but won't work unless you have a backing.

Do you happen to remember what the required documents were? I need to tell them to my neighbor so I'd rather they have everything the first time.

@ragdoll,
Firstly, you need to unsubscribe from Sodetel , and ask from them the cancellation papers.
I dont remember having to pay anything upon cancelling my subscription either from Sodetel or Wise.
Second, once you have your cancellation papers (which makes sure at Ogero, that the phone line is currently not subscribed to any ISP) you will go at any Ogero central, or in this case, your neighbor,to be specific,the person that phone line is registered with his name should go to the central with an ID and a couple of very recent phone bills, and then you apply for the desired plan, and then the waiting begins.

Ah, good. I have a backup connection (IDM iFly) just in case so the wait isn't really that big of a deal for me. I just want unlimited downloads, no matter the speed. :c
I'll talk to the neighbor soon. Thanks for the help.
