I'm getting fed-up with them I fucking tell you! They are getting worse and worse as the years go by.
I'm looking to find some Cyberia DSL users to compare a couple of things with. For instance:
* 4th night in a row now, connection disconnects at 1030pm. When I reconnect (if it doesn't automatically), then my 512 which normally gives me about 50k is now barely doing 10k. It stays like this all night till around 630am or so, then it disconnects and upon reconnect is back to normal.
This is the pattern I've noticed, and Cyberia had a so called "Fair Usage Policy" where they would cap you for 2-3 nights using, the above method, if you milked the connection downloading torrents and shit. Now they tell me that they don't have this in place anymore but I believe that is bullshit as the pattern hasn't changed.
I admit I did abuse the connection 4 nights ago which led to the cap, I'm going to wait one more night and if this happens again I'm going postal on these motherfuckers. Spoke to support earlier and explained what has been happening, and they said that this is because all users are connecting at the same time, shared connection, blah blah—same shit I've heard before. How reasonable does that sound? It's Monday night for fucks sake.
So anyways back to my question—any Cyberia DSL users out there? And have you experienced what I've just described?

first calm down and try to use appropriate words
second if you don't have the paper agreement that you signed on that states your rights and whats not then you don't have any hope until they feel like helping you all you can do is nothing but wait or change your isp ...

hello i am a 256 user and i have a problem with streaming(never works ) and i have experienced the FUP couple of times the most thing i hate is their ******************ing costumer service i actually made a fight with one of them they should be called employee service actually i have found the best way to communicate with this ........company (violence) without being angry they wont even think in your problem
and no ping below 400ms

I signed up years ago and problems only started appearing as the years went by. A change of ISP is inevitable. I just want some straight answers and no more bullshit from them is all. It's the bullshit that's ripping our country apart.
Abbabbj
actually you could cut up their main net cable and hook it up to the nearest high voltage transformer trust me it works {just kidding}

lol and also about paper agreement in lebanon too :D

My friend at university suffers the same thing with Cyberia but he is a bit Taffeyeh so he doesn't really care.

get ogero if u want good dsl.. all other isp are their minions.. i had no problems with ogero except the limits.. everything else was good 160~240 ping to alot of european servers but then again these question pop up: are you rich enough to pay extra to watch youtube? can you control yourself? do you want to finance hariri's theft? are you a prostitute of technology? i couldn't bare those thaughts so i went ahead and canceled.. now i'm using a crappy wireless with 10 KB/s and unstable ping.. good old days back in brazil where when u had a problem u would threaten the isp with cancelling and they'd get on their feet and do anything to keep your echtirak

I dont have DSL from cyberia but i have wirelessbits(pescotel) from them.
The same thing is also happening to my connection, they explained to me that this is because of the shared broadband thing and the network is getting really busy after 11pm.. so my speed during that time is around 10kb/s.
When i recharged my account last week, speeds at night are back to the normal 512k (64kb/s).. so i guess it was an FUP that was applied to my account.. now im trying not to abuse the connection that much so i wont get an fup again.

Last night the connection thankfully was back to normal but they have not reduced my connection back to 512 from the 1MB test. We'll see if they end up trying to play me and charging for it.
The cap durations seems to have increased to 4 nights as opposed to 2-3 nights from before. I've found that if you download around 700MB each night you will be safe but you are pushing it if you go over 1GB.
I grabbed about a gig last night so will update if they recap me again tonight.
I think a switch to Ogero is in the making, i just cant be arsed with any wait times and the bullshit that comes with switching.

Regarding the FUP Cyberia says that they don't have it in place anymore, but that is BS as well.
Abbabbj
hey MF do you face problems with youtube?
mf-723
Recently YouTube has been acting up now that you mention it.
A lot of videos will not load or start loading then crap out. Is this what you're experiencing?
kareem_nasser
I am not but FF is messing up a bit with me and my friend.
Abbabbj
yes most streaming sites arent working you have to open 10 different videos to start the streaming of one if you solved the problem tell me
And kareem what do you meen?

I have 512Kbps Cyberia ADSL
1- Streaming (like youtube) works very slow, you have to keep refreshing, wait like 5 seconds, and see if it streams fast, otherwise refresh the page, i have the same problem as both of you.
2- I no longer get double speed at nights.. been several months now.
3- FUP is back... I usually get slow speed for only for 1 day, yes the internet disconnects at 10:30 pm and then at 6:30am or 7:30am (can't remember), and you have to reconnect, the download speed will be capped to 128 kbps, almost all streaming and https does not work till like after 3am, but still slow. If you download while being capped, the next night you will be capped again.
4- When there is no cap, the only time my internet is slow is between 11pm and 12am, which is pretty much normal i guess, since everybody is still awake and downloading as much as they can.

I'm having my own problems with Cyberia, not as much as you...since I'm not using the internet a lot lately but my sister always says that it is slower now..
I only play online from home and do a casual browsing, BUT yeah Cyberia is getting worse and worse.
This is why I'm switching to Sodetel.

We'll see you in the "Any Sodetel DSL Users Out There?" topic then.

^ Sodetel user here. Been less than a week and already something nasty happened. Unlimited usage has been logged in as part of the limited and I lost 1.7 GB. If they don't fix this properly, screw them I'm switching to someone else. I just reported my error through email to their support. Lanshouf shoo beseer.
