Geeks, here is the unltimate question for all heavy internet users around lebanon....

What is the best internet provider that can provide unlimited qouta with speeds of over 256k downlink at a 30$/month expense, with very reliable and stable networks?

I'm currently connected through Wise 256k adsl(3gb download qouta, NO free night trafic)...we're 5 internet users in my house, me being a very heavy user. we usually end up using up all of our qouta in a matter of 17 days...its just not doing it for me here.

I'd kill for a 512k connection with unlimited qouta 24/7 with costs around 30 bucks

And I would love to find a million dollar in my back pocket right now.

But we both know, it's not gonna happen ...

This is Lebanon so the only solution is: illegal cable "man" but with lots of bandwidth sacrifice if not latency too.

mmk92

true, but i have found solutions like VISP but they say the connections are very slow at night fa i dont really know, i want something around that if not better.

C'mon you're in Lebanon, you know the situation over here... The best ISP here is Ogero, and Ogero would suck your blood and money when you go over-board with download and stuff. The only good thing about Ogero is that it is very stable and their FUP is not strict (I never noticed they have it in the first place - I am heavy user btw).

kareem_nasser

Of course there isnt any FUP you "Pay-As-You-Go".

Flakk

Sodetel have a 256k unlimited package but i dunno how strict is their FUP on it.

mmk92

iv been looking it up all day and i found Sodetel(mentioned by flakk) and VISP both offering 256k unlimited plans...what do u guys recomend? judging from stability, quality.

ps: thnx for ur replies guys

Joe

I guess the subject has been covered before but can someone please define for me "unlimited with a fair usage policy" ?

You are allowed to download as much as you want but not too much?

Confused ...

i dont knw much about it myself, but iv read that it limits brandwidth to heavy downloaders so that other users could hv more brandwidth thus faster connection

Kassem

FUP is when you download a little bit too much (according to their definition of "too much") and then they cut your connection's speed in half or even more. So I would recommend ONLY Ogero.

Here is one of the closest ISPs offering such services:

Cable is not illegal ! some cable providers use illegal sattelite up/down links , others do not ! and have legit connections with a multitude of ISPs and some even OGERO !

You need a license to have transmitting equipment, so unless you can lay a 500 km long cable, or if you can get that license and pay for it (highly unlikely) then I guess it's illegal.
