It seems for the most part, and according to what ive been seeing IMEWE is doing fine
Yet some ISP's seem to be having MAJOR issues with latency
@Chup and Dirol: Can you confirm from an ogero subscriber from the same central if he/she is experiancing the same issues of latency (of course if possible)
If there is something wrong with IMEWE then it should apply to everyone connected to that specific central (this is just a theory i may be completely wrong in everything i said)
That being said , logic would say if something was wrong with IMEWE then everyone would/should have issues in Latency
... This weekend i was also suffering immense lag spikes - i cured the problem by simply disconnecting and then connecting with a different IP belonging to a different IP range (the alleged best IP range for me at least is the 94.etc ,,, it was having problems so it seems but other ip ranges, 168, 77,178 to name a few were doing fine)
I highly suspect that it has to do with something along those lines.
For terms of IMEWE latency wise i believe this is more or less the best we could hope for, yet many households are still on low bandwidth (128,256,512kbit) connections, including myself, and with no specific answers as to why from Ogero - you call and they simply say "Lines are too weak; no upgrade" - am i under the impression that they do not wish to do anything for such areas ? Perhaps. I have in mind sticking with Lebanese Internet till around summer - then on ill look into local cable connections and satellite solutions along with me DSL line (ill primaruly use it to download updates, large needed documents and what not) since a 256kbit connection is just very frustrating to deal with
I can live with a 24,000LL DSL fee and a 30$ish cable fee (yet it would be nice if i could just have them as one package :( )
Anyway, sorry for the lecture, as per topic:
Few things to note:
Im on an educational institute connection
Right about at this time a lot of people would be downloading and abusing the connection
In the morning its closer to 2mbit and I have the latency bug with the speed test app.
i will try getting my freind who has access to a private IT PC to do a speedtest for me
