Broadband in Lebanon - Latest Updates

Hmm but maybe only Ogero the other isp's will demand more money so that we have a better connection or in other words a gaming package.

Ping has improved at uni too! (USJ - FM)
looks like the inter-ISP connections are getting better.
Any new information?

PS: it used to be around 180-early 200s

any new news about the cable it is supposed to be finished by may 30th

CADMOS is supposed to be "functional" or "launched" or "connected" or whatever in may 30th or 31th let's wait and hope.

Aly wroteCADMOS is supposed to be "functional" or "launched" or "connected" or whatever in may 30th or 31th let's wait and hope.

Well actually we are already connected to cadmos, that our main cable of communication here. They are just upgrading it by the end of may.

The cable IMEWE is the one that we should be waiting for.

But i dont think any improvements are gonna happen in 2010

Can you post a tutorial for Tweaking the modem part ?

You need to change the modulation to get the lowest latency. I get the best latency using G.dmt modulation. It will improve the latency on the first hop.


Btw, some traceroute

@Kareem can i do that on Speedtouch 546iV6?

kareem_nasser wrote@Kareem can i do that on Speedtouch 546iV6?

I think all DSL modems support different type of modulation.

@Kareem:

Uptime: 0 days, 0:51:59
Modulation: G.992.3 annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 509 / 1.021
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [KB/KB]: 0,00 / 0,00

Weird this modulation doesn't exist?

This is used for ADSL2 technology; Change it G.992.1 and see if it helps, it did for me.
