Internet Speed and Latency in Lebanon

EDIT: Please use this thread to post speed and latency tests. === Can you start recording your speed and latency twice a day (on and off peak hours), every...

ILIA_93 wroteAll of you, expect less than 50ms ping when you're connected to fiber optics. But this will take time.

I can't get it, the ping from host to DSLAM over ADSL is in the range of 50-70ms over phone line. I don't think that will change anyway unless we get separate connection over ethernet cables.

Mhmd wrote@xazbrat , you're in Aramoun and you're Central is khalde ??

Because the khalde central was implemented with fiber optics infrastructure !

I live in bchamoon, and im on the same central Khaldeh. I have yet to test my ping. Please state your source for the fiber optics implications in the khaldeh central.

DG wroteOgero's ping is worse.
I used to have 117ms to bbc.co.uk ... it's now 150ms.
Plus I am getting "dead" internet every day. I mean all the modem lights stay ON ... the modem logs don't register any disconnection at all... but the connection dies for around 30 secs (as if Ogero was switching routes) and then resumes by itself.

Same thing happening to me in the past 3 days or so. Ping was great, now not so good i.e. like before.

Also here are my tests:

256kb/s Ogero connection.

if you were testing this on your iPhone there's a proven bug that the ping is Definitely wrong

Something screwy going on around here.

Ogero 512 connection

and for those who asked it is a 94.xxx.xxx.xx IP address.

Over DSL and 2000mi+ away server = Something is really wrong...

Can you post traceroute to google ? like tracert -d www.google.com ?

thanks...

Ogero 512 @ 8.43 pm Beirut timing:

Mhmd

by the way, some one on facebook said that he's experiencing a new ip address range with Sodetel and it begins with the 94.xxx.xxx.xxx !!!
That happened 3 ~ 4 days ago and it may be related to the IMEWE

You can't have an HTTP ping of 32ms and you are lagging 45 ms to DSLAM

I'd say something is buggy in the speedtest java thing... I would run the test on pingtest.net to confirm..

:p, hahaha super slow internet!

Aside from those occasional freezes, I have been experiencing "bursts" where it appears my speed and latency are much better--then it goes back to its normal slightly sluggish self. Hopefully it means they are upgrading and working on stuff, but I don't know.

Here are the results from pingtest:

Not great, not bad

Sorry for posting this but I was, like the majority here, suffering from the bad internet until I moved to the UK, and specifically to the Imperial College and then did my internet speed test

This is faster than copying a file on my PC

No big changes in speed

However, if you go to http://www.wunderground.com/, it will display the weather based on your ip address. Until the last few days, I had 3 places show up: Beirut, Houche-Al-Oumara, or London. Now, I have gotten Ras Beirut, Jbeil, and Tripoli. I just wonder if means whether they have added more IP addresses and mapped them out or some other unrelated or related reason.

the fastest i have ever got on this connection i use

LAU. Great upload here :D (download IS limited though, and i can't try a PC with admin rights)

I am sure that my ISP tricked speedtest, this can't be possible!!
The upload speed is very low and when I download a file I don't get more than 30 kB/s (128k private ISP)!!

@4peterkh4: it seems that your ISP is caching speedtest.net testing data, that is used to determine your connection speed.
