Paladin wroteThey are launching the "daftar el shourout" in few days! That means, they will wait 1 month for companies to submit their offers and prices, then you have to wait another month for those offers to be "studied" if they comply with the rules, then another month to decide who have the lowest price, then another month to announce who won, and then they will start working on fiber optics all over lebanon, which will probably take months too....
So if they do it as fast as possible, it will at least take a year!
I think that what you are saying is correct! It will take about a year before we see the increase in the Internet speed...
babum wroteas i see it, FTTH wont be deployed in lebanon in the near future. using a fiber optic to the home requires lets say 10 mbit connection per user, that means that for fulfilling lets say 1 million users, you would need 10 million mbit/sec bandwidth. I believe that lebanons current international bandwidth doesnt reach the 2 gbit/s (correct if im wrong) so its quite impossible for now to improve services.
What I believe should be done is increasing international bandwidth with no increase to customers plans or products, so that the current network saturation is decreased, improving the service, thus making you the customer happy with a reliable connection, also DSl can stil be expanded to the 8 mbit/s or 14 mbit/s (not sure)
Your calculations are misleading! We do not need a 10 million megabit/sec connection (a 10 terabit/sec connection) in order to have a 10 megabit/sec connection for the 1 million user (you can not simply multiply, remember there is the quota system).
The international bandwidth will increase in the few upcoming months... and if it reached 20-30 gigabit/sec, that will be sufficient, and it will allow the 10 megabit/sec connection to be available for the 1 million user.
