Interesting reasoning they're giving for the problems.....

Yea idm sent a msg today said it was ogeros fault

My connection was dead for the last 30 hours, since 11 am friday. The customer service guy told me that they are not the only private Isp in the dark and that 32 centrals were out all over Lebanon. Sabotage is possible, but idiots working in centrals is a better explanation.

well yesterday it went off more then once on Cyberia with no reason!

strangely enough.. after these downtimes/cuts we had in the last few days the internet here seems to be more stable now and the ping is much less but still oscilating. I'm an idm subscriber btw

MegaCool

Probably they fucked up something even more(already was fucked up) in the infrastructure because of the useless random ground digging they're doing all across Lebanon, which is causing some serious traffic btw...

well finally, I got my connection back, I am with IDM and my connection was lost since Friday morning. The interesting part is that my Latency improved dramatically, previously I was getting around 420 ms when I pinged google.com, now it is reduced to 115 ms.

People still think that the internet is bad, and probably went to sleep. That's why you got some good results. Expect normal operation later ;) The whole shebang was not a fix but a huge error.
God bless my illegal ISP.

wollyka

Yeah, got my connection back
The improvement in ping some users are seeing is due to lower number of people browsing the net tonight :(

We received an SMS today the same message as the one on IDM's site stating that it was on OGERO's side.
But i am now testing the latency of bbc.co.uk:

Or could it be because it was a saturday night ? :p

DonnieDarko wroteNot really people went to sleep and some centrals were fixed in degraded mode ,,,
those are the remaining non active centrals :
Justice
Zahle
Ras-el-Nabeh
Jdeide
Zouk
Jounieh
Tripoli Tall
Tripoli Mina

Actually you are not right about Tripoli Tall and Tripoli Mina since I have a line from Tripoli Tall and I have internet since 12:00 AM and the same goes with Tripoli Mina also.

Ghaleb

I am a GDS user since I have double speed and unlimited night traffic (VPI.VCI = 8.35)

DonnieDarko wroteGive me your phone number and ill post all the infos about your account if you with IDM

I sent you a PM with the phone number and the number

Is it going to last, are they serious this time?

rolf

Did these people hear about redundancy?

Nemesis-301

its good to see that they are taking this thing seriously, but I hope that they also increase the limit by a minimum of doubling it...

nuclearcat wrote1)Some insider told me it is completely stupid issue, related to improper hardware/network planning. I cannot tell details, and also it is not 100% info, even i know some technical details.
2)There is soon much more bandwidth over Cadmus. Where to find money for it? Steal other ISP's users. Users is pretty primitive in Lebanon, if they see Ogero DSL working and non-Ogero dead or working bad (even Ogero sabotage this) - they will switch to Ogero.

If I am reading between lines properly....I guess it's a little bit of both, right nuclearcat? :)

nuclearcat

I have no idea, but serious customers was hurt by this and considering switching directly to Ogero. They was out of business for whole friday, which is workday.

chosen2k

I was checking the Ogero website for my quota and apparently my downloads and uploads are not appearing (not being tracked?) !

What do you think? do i go on a download rampage ?
