Well, Guys I guess the turtle internet delivery age has passed and now is the age of REGULAR speeds as everyone in this world,the main benefit ,I guess, is for the corporates as they are the ones who should be fighting to increase speeds in the first place!!

I dunno why, but I sent an Email to VISP support asking them about possible upgrades and new prices. That was two weeks ago, and they still haven't responded. I also asked my local distributor in Hazmieh and he completely ignored all my questions by saying:"I'll call you back", and then doesn't.
I think all ISP's are having a mourning session these days and they will try their hardest to delay any progress.
I understand how they feel: Why disturb themselves for upgrades while they can keep the "Status Quo" and earn their money the easy way.

They don't want to give you false information. They are being conservative and I don't blame them. Better wait till after tomorrow's meeting and it's results.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling, that after getting a 2mb/4mb internet connection (hopefully) I'm gonna get bored of the internet in 3 days:O

shant wrotethe new plans STILL SUCK
20 up and down? REALLY??
its a joke!
i swear i know someone from pakistan(you know how that country is like) and he has 10mbps with unlimited, seriously now, anyway, still waiting for upgrades

I am from Pakistan and 20mbps was last year, they just launched 50mbps on copper (VDSL) @ 240$/per month with unlimited downloads

normal packages with unlimited downloads
1Mbps at Rs 1199 US$14
4Mbps at Rs 1999 US$24
6Mbps at Rs 4999 US$60
8Mbps at Rs 6999 US$83

btw i can assure you Pakistan is just like lebanon or worst in a few things at this point of time :) we are nuclear power but we cant use it produce electricity :)

You just feel like this. I'm in KSA right now, using unlimited 3G connection up to 7.2 mbps! Literally, you can do anything! So I assure you won't get bored if you like to watch movies and shows. In addition, you can finish your tasks quicker and the most important: you won't get irritated from the damn slow connection!

guy if you read wikipedia it says that we will have 10-15mbps in by 2011 and 20mb after the year, i think its gonna start slow then go faster?

nuclearcat wroteIf your line cannot do more than 256k, it will remain 256k even with new services.

Damn -_-
