mmk92 wrotemy friend's 512k ogero bill reaches over $500/month
Cool. My 512k plan costs 30 $ :)
I Feel Happy Now
Mine reached $110 a month, not fair.

When i was in the uk, i used to get up to 4mbps for ~$15 a month (unlimited bandwidth overnight)

I'm curious about Sodetel now. Their website says they have free night traffic, which might be excellent, for the same price i'm paying anyway.
Extra volume: Each 1GB =1000 MB = $10

Free Unlimited Night Traffic from 11 PM till 7 AM.

Double the Speed from 8 PM till 8 AM: This service is applicable on the 128k, 256k, 512k Regular Plans only.

Lebanon to get additional internet bandwidth from India
Government to buy 45 gigabytes for $45 million in coming months

By Dana Halawi
Daily Star staff

BEIRUT: The Lebanese government is planning on buying an additional 45 gigabytes of international internet bandwidth for $45 million in the coming few months said an IT expert on Sunday.

“The Ministry of Telecommunications announced that the additional bandwidth is expected to reach Lebanon in the month of May but I think that this will not happen on time because of the difficulties encountered by the Lebanese government with the Egyptian intelligence service,” Riad Bahsoun told The Daily Star.

FFS!
What a fucking backward country!!!!! Wait, there must be something good in this country that i'm not aware of yet; could you enlighten me?
@belal that is truly disgusting, btw why the hell its a 4GB down and 4GB Upload??? I mean who uploads that much with such a lame quota??? it should at least be 6GB down and 2GB upload,

but once again if they split the bandwidth into to equal half's up/down it'd be a much more profiting rip off for them..something tells me this country is built upon ripping peoples pockets off, i mean come on 60$ for extra 6GB?? that is hilarious,
and people actually think we'll have some real internet speeds soon.. well give me a break, the current internet situation is a gold mine for ogero and the government, and since when they thought about something beneficial other than filling in their pockets??
only solution is to boycott them and go with some "illegal" isp

Quite fucking true.
Sir, there's no hope in this country,nothing,zilch. I'm trying to find something ok in this country to cheer up, but you know...(internet comes on the bottom of the list,though)...starting with electricity and water shortage, regional, political and economical instability, stressed people, chaos, arms everywhere, warmongers, politicians, taxes(~120% taxes on oil, around 55% taxes on customs duties, municipal tax(seriously?), telecom etc), corruption, paying 2bills for most so-called services etc...also, tell me about the services an army/isf official would get from the government in exchange for his so called work/services(had it been ensuring the security!?!!

Cheers and good night.
Belal? Do you actually download that much? I mean unless you download DVDs or watch YouTube all day or even listen to Spotify 24/7 you shouldn't be consuming all of the 4GB so quickly.

I got a hilarious internet bill too. Apparently i downloaded 12GB during one month (don't ask).

Indeed, It might be something wrong with their service. If true, i'm gonna kick their arses so hard that they will scream in bytes.

Belal, I understand your frustration. However this is both the wrong topic and forum to discuss this. We're here to discuss solutions, not to rant about the situation.

sorry but.... old news is old ;/

There are many Petition Sites like these but they haven't helped us reach our Goal of acquiring a Descent normal Internet connection... it seems like all we can do is wait and wait ... and wait : (
what we need is someone to bring us news and updates from deep within the core :P
we need an ogero employee , an ogero IT ,an ogero support technician
any thing related to ogero will do

That's been out there for a while... and backed up by some big corporations (banks etc. details have slipped my mind.)

I remember chuckling at it. Such naive optimism. This won't sway the decision makers.
