WISE new offer

ali-nour85

I just knew that wise dsl is giving an offer for 125 $ includes everything(ADSL Wifi Modem,Installation on a regular telephone line) plus 3 month internet of 256K , i think this is the best offer i may get since i pay 50,000 for internet cable guy near my home and his connection sucks.
what do you think of it ??Does anyone have issues with wise internet ???

256k means 256 kiloBITS per second , not kilobytes :)

Btw : 1 byte = 8 bits

so 256k connection can give you a download speed of 32 Kilobytes per second (theorical) .

yes in theory , but in lebanon due to copper installations instead of a should be fiber optics infrastructure and the noise inferference on the copper cables , you don't get a 256k at home , it's about 192k because you are having 25-28kb/s instead of 32

its best if u go to ogero if u want good internet... fast and affordable

offers in lebanon do SUCK .. honestly, i mean think about it the best average deal so far is something arround 50$ a month with 512kb download speed and 128kb upload speed (and 2.5gb limited).. the funny thing is they say that after 12 the speed doubles, but infact it gets MUCH slower, specially if you are playing online, OMG it will lag lk crazy..

nyways i think we should have good internet in about a year - or a few more since we all know how lebanon works, "3al lebneneh" . installation of fiber optic should be done around 2012, we should then have a speed of around 2mb, thats 2000kb ..

btw for ppl who are wondering or have never experienced fast internet, sky company in the UK is now offering a 20mb unlimited internet speed (remember average/good speed in lebanon is 0.5mb for 50$) for less than 50 000 LL !!!

one more thing, is anyone playing ps3 online ? if you are plz tell me what kind of connection you're using ..

best latency , i agree , affordable ? 2 GB download limit is affordable for the amout of money im paying ? im a WoW player that's why im really concerned about latency , and i kind of download so much sometimes , what if blizzard releases another 800mb patch ? i don't think im willing to pay 300$ internet bill because i want to download a patch to continue playing !

didnt you read... some want ps3 which i play and currently using ogero 5gb 1026/256 and is great by the way so mobi is bad and besides its only for one computer at one time which sucks and will become bad over time

first we don't have mobi here ( i guess noone ever talked about it ) , second i think i mentioned im a WoW player so i really care about latency for online games

in Poland in the south western region, there's a company offering...

1Gbit/s unlimited internet, 140HD channels , free landline telephone, all for just $26/month..and what's funny is that Poland lacks behind most E.U country in terms of Broadband :/
that's what a promotion should be lol
o well

How i'm tired by this cries "outsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, so niiiiiiiiice internet" :-)
Better compare with Japan.
2008, 1Gbps to homes

I still don't get it... Why in the hell would someone need a 1Gbps connection to his home?

Once we have the 15 megabits/sec we will demand the 100 Mbps trust me thats human nature.

that's advancement and technology my friend , you prefer paying for example 50$ for 20 mbit/s or 1 gbit/s ? what the heck ill take the 1 gbit/s it's better in every way i guess and i'll find a use for such speed !! advancing like that should not be taken as " why the hell someone needs this 1 gbit at home " instead work should be done for better speeds , because in the near future 20 mbit/s will become as obsolete as our 256k and 1 gbit will find it's full usage , better advance to that now instead of nagging of slow internet in the future ( like our lebanese case , if we upgraded our technology slowly around the years we wouldn't have been in this crap situation in the first place ) .

The 1 Gbps connection will end the DVD stores era! I will buy softwares, HD movies and video games online, and download them in few seconds!

No that's just us, humans, being greedy. I'm really not sure where the "bandwidth" come from, does it come from a renewable source of energy? If not, then we shouldn't really waste our resources (in this case: bandwidth) just because we can. But...

Samer99 wroteThe 1 Gbps connection will end the DVD stores era! I will buy softwares, HD movies and video games online, and download them in few seconds!

... this does actually make sense.

So the question is: Where does bandwidth come from? Does it come from renewable resources?
