internet tonight

WizaRd

anyone having problem tonight ? at least my ogero seems to be timing out on a lot of packets for the first time in 8 months

GreenM

same here :S
I have Cyberia

Kareem

Yeah they have problems and they are " working " ( they should be ) on it. Ping reply timed out and slow browsing.

Kareem

Ogero: There is a problem with the international links, the french one. The problem will not be solved before tomorrow.

Yes, i've been having the same problem, still happening atm, ping is fine, 150ms to the UK, but for some reason they've decided to reduce my bandwidth from 512 to 128kbit. Try opening your DSL machine page and checking the bandwidth, mine says:

Uptime: 0 days, 0:13:42
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 94 / 124
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [KB/KB]: 0,00 / 0,00

And i'm supposed to have the 512 package, I don't know wth is wrong.... but I cant do crap on a 128kbit connection

I dont have such a problem. Contact the support.

Internet crap again...

"Game Theory" Lebanon were having their first online poker class, with a coach giving a video conference live from France. A journalist was there...
The connexion didnt work... How embarassing!
But it worked after 1/2 hour, somehow, thankfully.
If anyone is having problems, try the obvious:

ipconfig /renew

(for windows)
and also disconnect-wait-restart as advised by support. You might get an IP with a better route.

I've called the ogero and sodetel support like 10 times each. Sodetel say my connection is 512kbit, and the problem is from ogero, since they are suffering a technical problem with all 512 connections that use ogero's servers instead of sodetel's - only 512 connections. While, on the other hand, Ogero say there is absolutely no problem from their side. So i'm clueless. All I know is my connection is somehow 1/4 of what im supposed to have and no one knows what's wrong. All I could understand was that there's a problem with the link between Sodetel and ogero for 512 connections, though I don't understand why it would take over 2 days to fix, nor why it says 124 kbit on the modem page. just sounds to me like ogero is overloaded ... and they are giving people less than what they are paying for... or mazej, I don't know tbh, you can't find out anything from support.

Kareem

I called Ogero, they confirmed: we still have a probem.

GeorgeN

Can you give any details? what's happening... why have they tuned down the connection from their side... slowing it down to make it 4 times as slow.

WizaRd

It's just weird yesterday at exactly 11.00 the connection was fine with 120ms and back to normal.

I believe it's a bandwidth issue on Ogero's side for their own customers.

GeorgeN

But ogero aren't even providing my bandwidth, i'm from sodetel but I just use their servers, internet comes from sodetel; so why the hell are they reducing my bandwidth.

WizaRd

No idea, but if they are reducing their own customer's bandwidth, wouldn't you expect them to reduce other ISP's too !?

Again, this is speculation.. I have no idea what is happening, I just want my internet back :)

GeorgeN

That's just it I don't know if Ogero users are having the same problem, so if you're an ogero user please check the bandwidth from the modem page and tell me :p

WizaRd

Well the download is still 512K speed but it just stands there for few seconds playing idle ;)

maybe you are way above the limit !!
yesterday the internet was suck today it is much better :P but if you are downloading alot after 11 they will cut you down and slow the hell of your connection. when i was with wise, they used to stop my connection at 11 i called them and they said i did download 50GB this month while i have only 2GB for the month :p
now as i moved to sodetel and DSL (i had wise box) i m controlling myself after 11. maybe this is your problem .

Kareem

The router is reporting the correct bandwidth but Ogero has a problem with the external link they have. Like problem with the backbone. I have timeouts when pinging the first hop after then private Ip. The EU IP..

GeorgeN

Well for some reason my modem is only reporting 128kbit, and in addition to that im getting all the time outs and internet freezes. I cant get above 13 KB/s download. And no GN since im on ogero's servers I dont even have unlimited download + double speed, and my limit is only at 2 GB / 4GB
