Same, live in Hamra with IDM (for now)... at best it's reaching 10Mbps but that's at 5Am.
Was told to update cables, modem that supports VDSL/ADSL2, phone line, ethernet Cat6
(==> No clue who can do this, how to do it, and if it will even change a thing.
And hey, it might simply be because the upgrade is still in it's testing phase and they haven't done the correct infrastructure work for it to deliver the right speeds to everyone though Hamra (Banks, Hospitals, Universities, shops, etc.)
Anyone has a map or an idea where is the closest CO/Active Cabinet to Hamra?
I doubt our cables/modem are the issue. The fact that it's reaching 10mb/s at a certain time of day means our equipment can handle it. I'm fairly sure it's because the new plans are slowly rolling out to more people, which means more load. Unfortunately that could be the reality :(
Also our Central is in sa2yet Janzir.
Thanks about the info regarding the central (Though i suppose they must install one in Hamra soon. I will tweet Kreidie about this in a bit on twitter.
But if you (Or anyone who reads this) can help me a bit here, i would appreciate it:
What surprised was that a couple of Ogero ppl and some Lebgeeks/twitter ppl told me that my stats translate into possible good speed (in the range of 14 to 16Mbps if i update my cables and router/modem, i do believe that new hardware will improve (mine are 10 years old just when DSL was available, i don't have any options to switch to ADSL2 or ADSL2+ and so on).
IDM told me that i might not even reach 6 to 8Mbps tops because of my current location and cables/line no matter what i do.
Here are my line stats: can anyone translate them and tell me what speeds i can get or can't get because at this point i have no clue what to do except to wait for FTTH to become available :
