Ya 7abibi ya 3omre Ya ro7e, its called "Latency" not ping !!

From experience I can tell you that the Damascus server always gives a higher ping than most other servers.
Try France, Belgium or Switzerland.

"logmein" should not affect your latency as the test is still performed from your PC located in Lebanon.

As for the download and upload speeds apparently Sodetel limited them (I have the exact same numbers on my 512k gaming account) to manage the recent problems they were having due to their links getting full during peak time.
10 days ago I used to get speeds of 510kbps/120kbps when using speednet. Not anymore...

Try checking your latency from pingtest.net not speedtest because they might give different latencies, and the real latency that you have is the one you get from pingtest.net.

@ work:

you will get different pings/speeds depending on the server you choose.
So it depends what you are doing (why do you want to ping a specific server is it for games? download...)

actually both games and downloads
i know u cant play gaames with that kind of ping
but the strange thing id torren doesent go higher than30kb/s even if torrent has lots of seeds
so i dont i feel something is wrong with connection
i mean visp had a better latency thatn this connection how can that be althoug this a landlineand that was microwave this is why i feel something is wrong
