Okay so it's gonna take a lot of time to get a phone line and my non-dsl internet sucks. I'm considering getting 3g for my phone and then share it to my ps3. But is the 3g ping good ?
rolf
Yes, in fact it is so awesome that you can get a negative ping sometimes, that is the answer packet arrives before you send the request packet.
Seriously though, there is more lag than DSL, definitely. It would be enough for a Viber conversation, if you're OK with some lag, but PS3? The DSL is barely good enough. If you play COD you will loose all the time.
PS: Never mind your quota disappearing in one session.
If you ever try that (PS3 on 3G), please let us know!
PS2: Of course, if you just want to connect your PS3 so that you can browse Lebgeeks on it, then that's another matter...

Okay well then I'm just gonna have to wait :(
rolf
I guess so... (sadly)
If you were in Germany, I'd have told you to try... the latency was just about OK and the quota much higher, so it would have been worth a try.
On Lebanese 3G... not worth the trouble
Maybe "3.9G" or 4G LTE?

It has around 120-150 ping to EU servers slightly higher than DSL. I played on it when my ISP gave high latency on my DSL or forgot to get a prepaid DSL card (This was 1 year ago so I am not sure how 3G is now). To get a stable latency you need to have at least 2 signal bars and an H+ sign on the phone.
@rolf Are you joking? Of course, the "3G" term in Lebanon means "3.9G". There isn't even a "3G" subscription on the touch ("3.9G") or alfa ("3G+" exactly same as "3.9G") website.

3G plans are active starting today according to MTC 111

They started yesterday. Got the 30$ 5GB plan for the summer in the mountains.

Other data services like uchat, webtalk, are still the same.
Alfa and mtc غصّوا in the upgrades, like if it was obligatory, an order from the minister !
jsaade
For some reason, the extra consumption per MB is still the same -> (0.1$ to 0.05$) per MB which is around 50$-100$ per GB!
I do no think it should be this much, as the new 3G bundles gives you for example 60GB for 150$
The logical extra consumption would be 0.02$ to 0.002$ (depending on which bundle you have).
partam
Yeah the minister mentionned 2c per MB
But i guess this was for the package MBs not for extra ones

I thought it was extinct now :| it's like ancient stuff

It's my survival internet mode.

I just saw an advertising in French TV: 20GB = 15 euros (now 15.5$)
Let's hope Alfa and MTC will move their arse and update the quota to 1.5 or 2GB for the 10$ pack. Why are we obliged to wait every 5 years to get an update of speed and quotas in this country?
Why not giving us a night free download traffic option for an extra 1 or 2$ per month?
