Is it finished?
Looks like we won't get new plans before September

I doubt. This country is making us hopeless.

The decree was not rejected it was not on the agenda. It required the validation of the finance ministry.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

i doubt it will pass like that, why GDS(pocket DSP of IDM)? Why not other DSP? Why not one of 100s ISPs with whom GDS competing?
With pricing scale that was made up for IDM as well, all this stories smell VERY VERY fishy.
If it will pass as is - it means it is a graveyard for Lebanese telecom. As was mentioned before, when there is monopoly of private company, it means MUCH worse than state monopoly.
State telecom, Ogero, still interested in customers satisfaction, but private company without competition will do it's best to cash their monopoly and milk citizens to latest penny they can pay.

The more there are companies the best for us, competition between them will give us good deals, also without the government to dictate prices meaning a sort of hidden monopoly like Alfa/MTC.
This country is frozen with this old system and as long as it's like that we will see a very limited evolution of internet, Lebanese are capitalists lovers so why not let the telecom industry be ruled by competitive companies without ties to the government? Of course they will still have to pay a small fees as taxes but without having politicians dictating internet plans.

Well, a market ruled by private companies is still a bad thing, a balance need to be made between ogero and the other private companies to have a healthy market.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

So when Imad Kreidieh says "I am confident the decree will pass next week"... any idea on which day we should expect this to happen ?
Moreover, will the prices be immediately adjusted (on the day the decree is approved) or will we have to wait many days and/or weeks ?

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

On Thursday, I emailed thepeople@ogero.gov.lb to request a speed test for my DSL line and I got positively surprised by two things:

- First, they replied very fast within 24 hours!
- Second, they told me that I am 800 metres far from the central (knowing that i live at least 4km away from it)  and that therefore my line can handle a speed up to 23 mbps!

Does this actually mean that an active cabinet was installed in my neighborhood? In this case, shouldn't the speed reach at least 50mbps as Ogero chairman said before?

Nice! 14 is around 1 KM , well maybe you have an excellent copper cable. Can you sell me ?! ;p  Possibly there is be an active cabinet around, because based on my knowledge some areas already have, example: Sharhabil and Batroun

9 months ago, my attenuation was 52! So something drastic has changed.

But if active cabinet was installed, why is my speed limited to 23 mbps? isn't it supposed to be at least 50 mbps as Ogero chairman stated multiple times?

Wow man! When they start with VDSL service, you will be able to get a speed up to 40 mbps. You have to buy a vdsl modem then to get that speed
