Feedback for VISP

Oi' I'm thinking of subscribing to a 256K account with VISP. Main appeals to me are : * The gaming zone (supposedly with <100ms latencies for private...

My pppoe connection keeps disconnecting and redialing since 2PM

nuclearcat

massive outages due lightening strikes

hussam

oh, ok :) it's going to be a bad weekend :P

hussam

bad latency right now ingame. (tcp port 2000).
occasional 2 second lags all day.

Edit: Seems fixed. thank you.

hussam

Internet was down for 40 minutes.

Today upgraded equipment to 10G. Should be better, we reached limits yesterday.

Are you on real IP?

real ip here. I have internet for 30 seconds then it disappears for 15 to 40 minutes. it's been like that for three days now.

hussam

15 minute complete outage :)
traceroute suggests some local router malfunction?

hussam

looks stable again.

hussam

I almost have no connection still between 5PM and midnight.
My speed doesn't go over 1 kilobytes per second.

It look over 20 minutes to upload this screenshot from history console in online game.
It took over 15 minutes to open this page.
I'm not exaggerating. It is ever worse than I am describing.
It has never been this bad on real IP in the last four years.

Edit: This really really looks like an uplink congestion or some routers are full (congested) and not a bandwidth issue.

Anyone can provide me with the contact numbers for VISP? I don't know, I felt like their website is outdated... 150 $ for a 512k speed sounds kind of old.

hussam

Phone: +961 1 247373

FakeDsl

Thanks, hope they deliver a decent wireless service.

hussam

Don't get wireless. Get DSL. Wireless is well over-congested apart from the last few days of the month.
Just look at this thread. It's nothing but rants and complaints about wireless.
Get a DSL connection. It's a different world from wireless.

Really, don't get wireless. I live 5 minutes from VISP building and my internal ping is 6ms.

Edit: VISP also has DSL. It's like 30 dollars a month compared to 50,000LL for wireless.

Edit: lags started exactly at 11:24AM like yesterday. Frequency suddenly increases every 2 hours. By 8:24PM, it will be huge packet loss.

Edit: latency won't go below 1000ms now. This looks like overzealous shaping...

FakeDsl

Hi Hussam, thanks for your input on the matter, to be honest I am behind what you’re saying 100%, but for me DSL is out of the question, as per Ogero and Terranet I live “far” from the Telephone post, so my landline can only accommodate a DSL speed of 128 kbps, that’s the stone age speed internet wise.

Latency and Ping are important to me as I plan to hook my PS4 online, I am waiting for VISP to call me back so I may inquire on these aspects of their wireless connection.

I have tried already a local provider but the connection he provides lacks both in speed and consistency, it just disconnects for no reason at all and all of a sudden the ping times increase from 100 ms to a little over 1000, if anyone can advise me of a decent wireless solution with an acceptable/good latency I’d appreciate it.

FakeDsl, if money is not a issue i would advice 4G.. the only drawback with 4G is that there is no unlimited free midnight traffic and u cant carry remaining GB to the next month..
