Not exactly, I am with the rival ISP (called Free), but close :-)
With all due respect to everyone on this thread, there are some monstrosities that have been said. You cannot put quotas to internet connection to stop piracy. That would be like putting quotas on food to stop obesity. The right to connect to the internet and interact on the world wide web should be a given and in no way should be limited.
Here in France I get unlimited access to the internet at 30mbps. In my old apartment I had a
100mbps connection for 20 euros per month (roughly 35$). And given the cost of life, 20 euros is what I pay when I go to a restaurant in one sitting, so that would be the value of 10-15$ in Lebanon.
The only fair reason to limit a connection in my opinion is the availability of bandwith. I do not know how they manage to do it in France, but since it is available, no one has the right to limit it. Especially not the media lobby-ism trying to prevent
"piracy".
As for the people who consider a high speed connection only useful for
illegal downloads and games: More and more applications will try to send heavy graphics over an HTTP connection. Google Earth has a 3D rendition of New York. Or I could also mention Street View fro, Google maps. Sure a 1mbps connection would allow you to see them. But a high speed connection would allow you to interact with that virtual reality in real-time (no-to-little lag). Not only games, think about all the possibilities of such a virtual place, in terms of accessibility (for the handicapped people) or educational.
And what about remote working? Are banks and big corporations the only ones who need to connect different sites? What about freelancers who want to collaborate with dev teams in India to render a product to a client in Brazil? Should Lebanon not be a part of that? Because it is happening, whether we want it or not. We either log in or get left behind.
Web browsing in Lebanon consists mainly of Facebook and some social networking, but that's mainly because the limited connectivity allows us to do just so. Can you only imagine with a country with such a high diaspora, the effect of mass access to VoIP with video calls?
Again, no one should limit internet access. And stop saying what we have is enough.
**EDIT: typo; privacy != piracy. thank you _joe_
