Speeds are back to normal :D



Its weird how this wasn't "big news" in the media ... Its as if the Internet isn't a primary necessity.
The Daily Star wrote an article about it. Accordingly, the slow-down has lasted from 9am to 1pm. Everything should be back to normal.
I'm with Sodetel and i confirm that speed and latency are back to normal.
same problem with MTC 3G and Terranet DSL,
Address Not Available
Confirm Please...
عاجل: خدمة الإنترنت في لبنان تدنت إلى 10 % بعد عطل طارئ أصاب الكابل البري الذي يربط طرابلس ببيروت، سبقه عطل بالكابل البحري قبل بضعة أيام...
Internet speed dropped severely after this problem and this implies on most ISPs, Sodetel, Cyberia, terranet and ogero. At least these are the ones i can confirm.
علمت "النشرة" ان خدمة الانترنت في كل لبنان تشهد تقطعا منذ بعض الوقت بسبب انقطاع التزويد من كابل IMEWE البحري.

Anyone knows how long it will take ogero to fix this? can someone call them?
I think all traffic has been diverted to satellite connection. So is it a hardware/wiring problem?
cable is back online you guys :)
Internet is terrible...used to have pings ranging from 150-170ms with US/EU servers...now it's all over the place: 200-400ms.
Ogero : random disconnections, latency = 620 ms , packet loss = 11%, download rate ~ 5KB/s, browsing horribly slow

I was happy with my old 1Mbps with 5GB/5GB cap, I am not sure why this is happening, but seriously... its pissing the hell out of me... I still can't upgrade to 6-8mbps, my quota went down to 4GB shared, price has been reduced but already I am paying more because of bandwidth consumption... and the service has never been worse..

We are almost mid-november ( 1 and half month and yet ) still internet is crap

Do we really have to suffer ? FFS I am sick and spending my saturday night at home and I can't use the internet ( no online gaming, no youtube, no chatting etc... )

Tuning to LBCI... it's been long time...
Cyberia, no internet at all for the last 40 mins..

Now it's back on, but so slow, and around 99% packet loss
Same for Sodetel, and it's similar to what happened few days ago when they had problem with the sea cable.
