This will cost you more than the usual amount but this is what I have come to.
I've been back to Lebanon 5 years now and have tried many many options: 1- Ogero 2- Cable 3- Terranet 4- Sodetel 5- Connect
I'm still very unhappy with the consistency of all the aforementioned services. Each was good at a certain period of time then started having issues. I'm very upset. I thought I was happy when I found Connect but then, as summer neared, just like all the other options, I started witnessing slowdowns.
The ONLY consistent service for me was my cellphone's 4G, so this is what I'm switching to next this month:
If you're worried about pricing, here's the list with my computed price per GB. You see a big drop at 20GB so it's sweet spot.
Data Bundle 0.5 1.5 5 10 20 30 40 60
Price $10 $19 $29 $49 $69 $99 $119 $149
Price per GB $20.0 $12.7 $5.8 $4.9 $3.5 $3.3 $3.0 $2.5
The cons of 4G are the following:
- Crossing the quota limit is costly
- No free night quota
To solve this issue, you need a backup connection just for the purpose of downloading updates; any connection from the other ISPs would do in this case, or, you could go with Connect (which is a little more expensive but you can get the cheapest plan for $30 per month).
So you can have an excellent connection for $100 + $10 VAT per month.
Note: You can get to these speeds only when 4G is connected. When it's only 3G, you'll get 8Mbps (which is also better than all the other options)
