Nemesis-301 wrotelet me start by saying if anyone is changing there ISP or getting a new one dont even think about getting it from wise, latency is horrible you'll get a latency over 500ms, IDM offers there customers double speed after 11:00 PM however wise does exactly the opposite and halves your internet speed, right now I am subscribed to 256kb/s and right now I am downloading some stuff and getting an average speed of between 7kb/s to 12kb/s and a maximum of 15 kb/s , seriously WTF!?!?
When i was in
Batroun - Lebanon (4 months ago), i was on Wise too. i had the
512k plan, and i had an average speed of
50-60 KB/s during the day and an astonishing
160 KB/s during the night (
2.5x faster). I used to play Call of Duty online, with a low latency as well. (far below the your 500ms).
Now, i'm in
Oklahoma - USA, (Oklahoma University campus) and there's no way to compare. I have a
20mb/s *rolleyes* (yes, a
2.5 MB/s) at a price of $14.99. Pretty cheap no? (well, that's because this is the lowest plan you can purchase on campus :P )
Latency varies between 10 and 15 ms.
The ultimate joy is testing the bandwidth on
SpeedTest and seeing that needle reaching the red zone over and over again. A dream that will never come true in Lebanon...
Hah, poor Lebanon...
