today I was talking with my friend and he was excited, he said that the guy that gives them internet upgraded there speed from 256 to a 512kb/s and he also said that his gonna upgrade the 512kb/s to a 1mb/s internet speed starting from next month, and he didnt change the prices, IMAGINE!!! my friend is gonna have a 1mb/s internet speed, unlimited, for only 50000L.L a month :O weird...!!!!

EDIT: I wonder if it has anything to do with the IMEWE...

Is your friend with an ISP or just another internet guy via Satellite?

no ISP, just some guy that distributes internet where he lives... (he lives in bourj hamoud)

vic wroteHas anyone tried contacting the ministry/minister/ogero for an official statement or concrete overview of the progress?

I repeat the question. Has any official comment been made yet?

Why hasn't the IMEWE arrived to Lebanon? What is the official status? I can understand that there are reasons that made it fail. All I ask is my right to question my government on why they didn't fulfill their promises.

well i suppose it actually "arrived" to lebanon but not "switched" on yet in lebanon ? am i right ? and i think they will be "switching" it on anytime soon , they couldn't just got it here to just look at it right ? some complications as usual happened , more delay but the cable should be "switched" eventually.. people are really pissed now and won't be waiting for too long anymore.

Sadly - not sure about that. Other ISP's hate VISP. VISP newcomer and grow big. Already few ISP's did their best to block us from entering ADSL market. But we will try again and again.
