Dream On!!! Dream On!!!! Dream On!!!! Dream until your dreams come true :)
Dreaming for a fast connection is kind of limited, guys dream for bigger stuff, i came back to lebanon after spending years in Canada (you heard the story and we spoke about it in the other thread. Montreal got a fast internet in 2006, that's 4 years ago, before they had a 1- 2 mbps connection), so stop whining and wishing for such mediocre things and dream for more important things. my 2 cents. hope everybody is doing ok btw

Dream for stuff like what joe? It's Lebanon we're talking about, so let's keep it real.
If they instate a fast connection, the first thing ill do is create my own radio station :)
Maybe that's the real reason they want to cap the bandwidth: to limit people from using internet in a expressive way. They already suffocated VOIP.
yeah as if they can get us 1Gpbs links if they want to
censorship is the only obstacle
Lets start crying guys my friend in Sweden downloaded about 900MB in about 10 minutes. :( :( :(
as long as telecomunications and networking are one of the main profitable government industries, limitations will continue.
OMG i pinged at about 8 pm:

I cant believe this though there was a lot of digging in my area but never thought they'd really add fiber optics ..cool. i hope it stays like this.
I was dreaming it returned back to normal in no time:

i mean with my connection?
so which areas of Lebanon have these slight improvements in latency issues ?
as i see from your results guys, there are no improvements, those values of latency are the normal values from two months ago, still waiting for real internet in lebanon...
any news about the I-ME-WE cable and the fiber network ????

As i was expecting!

Hopefully it will come some day, but let's not hold our breath.
