vengeance666, link to reseller, i wrote now to boss about that

So nuclearcat, as clearly stated before, VISP doesnt welcome direct customers anymore, and is trying to get rid Of us the few ones left.
our pings are a disaster and there is no reseller to blame.

There is a lot of users in mountain Beirut and in Bekaa, link there is overloaded (even part of it is upgraded)... resellers and direct users both are affected, there is next step of upgrading it pending, after we can get over the snow in some locations.
Other than this it is routine tasks to fix everything, and after i finish my part of job (infrastructure changes) i will get back to wireless links troubleshooting.

it looks like my ISP has changed... :S lol
i dont care lol the same guy still comes monthly to take 40 000LL
so i need advice? is my connection fair? or should i get dsl?

I'm getting 8 kilobytes to 20 kilobytes. (constant 30kilobytes after midnight) on my 256k account.
No improvments since update. this http downloads..
direct subscriber. this is as good as it will ever get?

You should get at least 1 Mbps as your counterpart DSL subscribers.
But the thing is VISP network is overloaded with subscribers and the package they bought from Ogera isn't enough to provide 1 Mbps for each user.
You have 2 choices:
Switch to Ogero or keep on beating the dead horse :)
hussam
I won't ever be getting a phone line in lebanon so no ogero for me. what I may eventually do is get cable-guy connection for downloads.
VISP uses a different connection for speedtest.net as far as I can tell. I do my measurements when downloading system updates.
achrafieh, mar mkhayel, boorj hamood, etc.. have so many VISP users that local links get congested. it's a local thing.
nuclearcat
Joe3dr you are supposed to have more info than i have?
Capacity utilization is 80-85%, now major showstopper is links congestion in some areas.
Joe3dr
How much the capacity of utilization is relevant if there are some areas still not getting the minimum speed ?

There's this VISP guy on Facebook "Patrick". He deserves a medal for discouragement...He never answers the questions directly, and when I speak of Ping, he keeps mentioning my biological brain's ping...As if it's relevant.
He even implied that they prefer the US channel...So, goodbye online gaming,it's been a wonderful couple of months...One tiny bright side, upload rate is better this time.
nuclearcat
We don't prefer, but better to have more stable bw, and a little big higher latency, till european bw of Ogero are upgraded.
hussam
I was getting 52 to 57 ms latency last week. now it's 140 to 200..
up to 300s now...
Are we back to satellite?
Server latency: 241 ms to Paris.
Server latency: 262 ms

Oh this won't end well ..
hussam
no, it won't. I'm getting 150 to 350 ms latency to paris.
There is a noticeable difference between 50 and 150. I can see it during fighting.

hussam wroteno, it won't. I'm getting 150 to 350 ms latency to paris.

On Ogero I get like 110ms but do you think it's acceptable ? I haven't tried a 50ms lag; Do you think you can tell the difference between 60ms and 110ms ? If so, what's affected and how.
Thanks.

when I send a message, there is no wait at 60 ms. at 110 ms, I CAN see the time needed for message to reach server. the fighting turn is 50ms. if I get hit twice in 100ms, I die. at less than 100ms, I have time to heal.
MMORPG fighting is turn based but the turns at less than 50ms. you will see the different when fighting boss monsters.
vengeance666
Exactly I failed real hard in arena ( WoW ) tonight , too .. talking 200ms extra at least with lag spikes , I hope this doesn't take too long to fix .. since I admit VISP latency for the past 2 months was the lowest I ever seen even with friends that have DSL ..

Good times were the days (December) when we finally got to watch YouTube at 360p without buffering, good days they were. Now YouTube, I have axed that site for good from my bookmarks because it's useless since streaming a 10 second video at 240p has proven to be impossible again with VISP. Farewell my friend.
