Jad wroteThanks for these information then. So for you, the root of all these b***s**ts is OGERO. I'm sorry for being aggressive but I use to lose my pacific behaviour when it comes to talking about internet connexion and its adventures (FUP, quotas, speed, ping etc...). Definitely, it's because I wanted real proofs. Anyway, I was talking about Burkina Faso (which I said it is one of the poorest countries in the world), and their connexion is heaven compared to here in Lebanon.
Ogero is not only issue, but it is major issue. Bandwidth in Lebanon cost higher than anywhere in the world, seems.
Exception: far places without infrastructure in big countries like Russia, for example oil drilling sites in Syberia has worse internet prices.
So you think of closing the V-Zone? I don't want to be all alone the origin of the closing. I hope you agree with me and you took your own decision. I'm personally not against piracy when it's just stealing [extremely & abnormally] rich people (Hollywood and their films, for example). I was just giving you the picture I have of a real ISP (which is normally not promoting piracy in a country where it's prohibited, you see?). Don't worry, I'm not gonna try anything wrong against your company since I don't give so much importance to such things...
Anyway, I'll let you get back to your feedbacks.
V-Enjoy. Sad or not, as soon as you mention illegality i cannot continue it operation after i see what is a content in details inside. From now on, in best case it will host only free and legal content, but i should find way to review it after upload.
To compare with similar services (like rapidshare), we are not getting any benefit from it, such as advertising or paid subscriptions, so i decide it doesn't worth to run it, just to make nice feature for people, and then be punished by people who love declare someone "illegal".
Sorry for rant, but i will go a bit deep.
I am ROTFL'ing when many lebanese people call "cable networks" who try to bring internet for people in areas where other ISP's doesn't exist - ILLEGAL. But they often forget, that habitants of such areas have choice of this ISP's or no internet at all. And more LOL than when this people supporting politicians who is raiding this "illegal people", and proving strong support for such raids and actions. It is same as shooting your own leg.
Do you know that few years ago satellite internet was illegal? And people was talking how bad ISP's that are taking satellite. Prices from Ogero that days was even higher, and the ONLY reason they was lowered by Ogero- because for ISP it is too trivial to setup receive dish and Ogero was not able to compete with satellites, and that days they had much less law power.
Not you, CITIZENS, protected your rights, ISP's did that for you. But ISP's wont do much, because if they go too far, government will demonize them, and only thanks ISP will get - he will be backstabben by people in back. Also this days fanatical support of politics made law stronger, but not in terms protecting people, but in terms protecting government from people.
Best example is recent efforts of Cedarcom, then they try to make campaign, that explain, why monopolized 3G in Lebanon will make situation worse. People don't even try to think seriously about this, they just start to beat Cedarcom, that Cedarcom will take from them their fetish 3G. They are not even interested to use their brain and know why DSL which is unlimited in most of countries, here is failing miserably, and they keep believe blindly one more unrealistic promise (3G) of local monopolies will be coming heaven.
I hope "Flip the switch" project will work, i see it is a first independent project that maybe not concentrating with your lovely politics, religion groups or other parties, and concentrating purely on consumer needs.
And my good experience, when you do a lot of good for people(we opened one time free dialup, free wifi hotspots in various places, some other free offers for persons who need it, and sponsoring some good events) , and then small mistake, and people will beat you to the ground, declare "illegal", and you will be stoned to death, doesn't matter you was good or indifferent.
Regarding VISP, back to track:
Today is day off(armenian genocide), i am not in office, we are working with backbone operator and some tests are being done. Situation will improve daily i think, but still latency instability is not resolved completely. But i think main reason of lags and spikes lays in local network to customers, that i should take attention too, but i lack time for that. I cannot do job of all teams(i am handling backbone, software development, and etc) at same time.
I am also trying my best to introduce some new features and QoS on local loops to fix somehow situation with gaming priority. I agree it is terrible, and i am not sure i can accomplish that, but i will try.
P.S.
Meanwhile if someone want good latency ASAP - he should switch to DSL. Wireless networks (which we are forced to use), including 3G/4G/LTE cannot beat DSL in matter of latency, and never will be able. If here telecoms fail to provide good latency in DSL, because of local loops, believe me, local loops for this wireless technologies is much more complicated than for DSL.
