question about broadband

andy1123

my name is andy , i lived in dubai where i had a good 16mbps connection for a good price of 73$
now i live in lebanon in a area called dibbieyeh or how ever you spell that ... in the day3a there .. and unfourtunatly... the goverment broadband service did not reach there .. and i have to resort to using some dudes sattelite internet for a overpriced connection of 512kbps which does not satisfy what i payed for! ...my question is when will i be getting broadband in that area? and do i have other choices which i can use so i have enough bandwidth to play online games like WoW , call of duty , css .. and more..

thank you :3

You can use the Mobi or Pesco's Wise wireless internet connection that if they have coverage there.
You should try and call them for that.

Hi andy!
You live in dinniyeh? Good luck getting broadband there. Enjoy picking fruits and, walking the mountains, and the cool breeze (nice nature there). The best you can try is is wise or mobi (and the likes). Maybe they get a good signal there. But even then I cant guarantee you will be satisfied with the lag. Heck even if you get ogero DSL I'm not sure the ping is good enough for FPS games.
(and welcome)

We were promised fast internet last year when they had to reconnect some wire that ruptured in the sea. They said they would reroute it through Lebanon...

can you play games online like mw2 or cod 4 or world of warcraft or anything related to that... with mobi?

You'll be able to play online but it won't be the best of playing experiences considering the lag and the limited quotas. However, its still not that bad and you're much better off than using the cable guys connection.
