Hey, after months of struggling with my cable connection at home ( since they shut down the Barouk station) and the wonderful short lasting VISP internet exp...

If I were you I would stick to Ogero, because the unlimited night traffic thing is not really unlimited you will experience alot of problems with your ISP if you are a night downloader, at least ogero have a good quality internet day and night and about your heavy downloads, in my opinion "no offense" but I advice you instead of waiting nights and weeks to download the DVD movie, Game, software, music go buy it from Sabra or Borj 7ammoud for 1000LL and believe me you will suffer less with your ISP.

30GB download per month via Night Traffic from IDM is not a bad idea.

Hmm recently my Ogero DSL has been on the fritz. WTF. It used to be ultra stable and now the connnection breaks several times a day. We already pay ALOT for DSL. It doesn't help that it breaks ON SCHEDULE every day. And even Ogero's support idea of "remove and wait for 10 minutes" does nothing. I need to open up the DSL modem (Zhone model). Any help? I suspect a DNS issue.

same issue here. no ping timed out buy service is goig down recently. no clue tho..

you could try two solutions here, if the dns are having problems why dont you try using other dns solutions such as opendns or google dns.

the second solution i can offer is, do you have any sort of noise on your phone line, because noise can disrupt your modem from syncing with the ogeral central making the connection less stable or not making it at all, on my modem it usually showed two orange dots that when had this problem blinked.

and the third solution or aspect is that as someone else pointed out, there as been some new fiber optic been layed down, so they might be doing some test and thats why your connection isnt quite working.

I live in dohat aramoun and the internet couldn't get crappier than this. I play World of Warcraft, and it keeps lagging and disconnecting, and the router keeps losing the dsl connection and when I restart the router I just hope it connects to the dsl. its just freaking crazy ! and my connection is 1Mb/256Kb I dont want to even start there ! When I called them, they say there is a problem with the network that might take 2-3 weeks to finish, and its been 4 months so far !

Thats all because OGERO hires(wasta) and most of them are ignorant pricks who dont know shit about what they do.

Same here in beirut. I have a 1mb connection from ogero and the last two days were hell. I'm getting a download rate of 16k. Speedtest was also at 16k, it's like i pay for 1mb and receive a 128k connection.

I called customer service and their answer was check in the morning with no further explanation.

They probably don't have the capacity so they throttle you. When you complain, they say 'check in the morning' because not many use Internet before noon and the line will be a bit better.

Seriosly, they fail in every aspect ! all we can do is whine about it, because there is no other alternative, OGERO is the only backbone adsl provider we have, since our government doesn't allow any other company from coming, PURE monopoly ! atleast be competent enough to start a dsl service :S

The thing is, my connection was always stable (any time, day and night), this is something that is happening lately.

Agreed, it has been almost a year since I've posted in this thread and to this day, Ogero's services still are very poor and expensive...I had to degrade my subscription from 512kbps to 256kbps because the overpay was getting out of my budget. I don't bother playing any online games(other than Facebook/small flash apps) because of the Ping. for downloads what I do is copy the download links, go to the Library in my University(off course when I got lectures to attend lol).. go on my account.. start the download(s) and lock the computer :P

since Day 1 of Ogero's "ADSL" launch, they have not never improved the speeds, have never decreased the prices, have ever lowered the latency, and more importantly, have never increased the amount of quota/month allowed... 2GB/3GB/4GB/5GB/8GB respectively, is Ridiculous... the only thing they have done is lowered the price you pay over usage(which even with the current prices are still very high)

This is not just Ogero I'm talking about, all ISPs are forced to provide poor service to their customers due to the monopoly and restrictions done by the government

I apologize for complaining, but waiting year after year...after year only talk and no actions, It can get frustrating...

It is quite a sad scene whenever I keep remembering how even the poorest of African nations(with extremely low quality of life) surpass us in the broadband business:

(http://www.speedtest.net/global.php)(Note: we were higher by ranking and speed in the past, we have gotten slower)

We are waiting the new Broadband plan(the Fiber-optics and the IMEWE cable) to come alone.. but still.. 16 months is a long time.. guess it's gonna be a while, until then(If actions are actually taken that is...) we're going to continue staying at the bottom of the lists
