I think this offer is garbage.
For decades now, every once in a while, a new technology is advertised, but in the end the internet quality remains pretty bad by international standards, and generally painful to use.
It will take more then that to make me optimist. All this shows me is that the state is still bent on extracting every last dollar from people through overpriced services while providing inadequate internet services, and that there are still people who are gullible or naive enough to be optimistic and believe that the quality of internet service will improve through these overpriced packages.
The speed will definitely improve on an absolute measure, but so does the global speed average. The whole word is progressing and Lebanon still lags behind. It will take much deeper change (cultural, legal, administrative) and more disruptive measures to change things.
So if Lebanon want to offer globally competitive services it will take much more than that.
If instead we want Lebanon to be a touristic country where people come to relax - well that is not going great either, with all the destruction of the environment and low quality of life.
How about agriculture, any chance for that? That's also a tough one.
I didn't mean this to be too negative, or to be a rant. This is my undistilled opinion and I got a little carried away.
Below are some of the points in the offer that I find particularly repulsive.
Thank you for sharing these updates, always nice to know what is happening.

Fiber is the fastest available data conduit, the probability that you’ll experience slow-downs while using it is the lowest.
So I have to pay $200 installation so that I can
maybe have no slow-downs, but most probably it will be like it always was.
