Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Question: when i call IDM technical support, they tell me how much speed my CO can handle. If i called Ogero techincal support and expressed my intention to switch to their service would they know how much speed they can give me? or would i be gambling? please let me know if anyone has tried doing this...

It is a phone call, what can you lose? :)
just do it bro

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Just called Sodetel,
Sammoule badane.
The guy told me that no changes will be applied next month and all the changes will be applied starting August 1st.
I told him that all other companies will upgrade their plans on the 1st of July, he said that Sodetel won't.
That was very very disappointing tbh I'm very pissed

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

it looks like the co can't handle more than 4mbps ,i can't do nothing about it, it's ogero's work to fix this and you know ogero is from the government so bye bye more than 4mbps they will take years to fix it, unless when they finalize the fiber optic between co's then they can get better speeds.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Looks like we Ogero customers are getting screwed over again with these new internet offers. We will lose free nights again!
Just got the attached print out from the CO where I was paying my monthly bill.
Politicians and their advisers in this country can never be trusted, to say the least.
I was expecting such a dick move, the prices and packages announced by the PM were too good to be true for this country.

NO FREE NIGHTS!

Hah. What is the point of the upgrades if free night quota was cancelled?
We used to download 40, 50 and 60 gbytes via the night quota on the previous plans. That's a weird move from ogero and what is even more concerning is private ISPs following suit

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Most of my download was done between 12 and 7, now we have to pay for every 1GB. I'm definitely considering the unlimited 2Mbps plan now... I don't care about the speed it I can't use it!!!

I hate the new minister already, he messed the internet up more than he did improve it, where the majority of people can't get the new plans either because it isn't available at their COs, or because their lines can't handle it. Well that what you expect from a minister posting a local hard drive link on his facebook page...

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Same here used to hit about 60GB total (free + non-free) on the old 75K 2mbps 20GB plan. (used about 16-18GB of daytime traffic for casual browsing)
Options now are unlimited 75K for same speed and download at anytime of the day, or 65K 6-8mbps 60GB and watch out for excess use.
Pretty much nothing improved at best, or situation got slightly worse.

He did!!! That's hilarious ... hahaha!

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Please can someone post a speed test for Terranet at peak time ?

Not technically possible, for me at least. The connection has been dying for the past 3 months between 10pm and 3am. 3:01 and it gets back to its original 2m, but a minute before that and my max download speed is 20k with 50% dropped packages.

I can't wait to switch away.

That's the printout they were giving out at Sakeyet Al-Janzeer CO, and they said starting July 1, and can pick plan after that. Only noticed "no free nights" at home, so didn't get to question what's the deal with that addendum.

I'm not even clear on what plan will be selected for us on July 1st by default.

hahaha nice joke, right? ...right?... RIGHT!?

This would be a major blow considering I use up to 40-50GB on unlimited nights alone, which means if this is true the only true viable option I got is the unlimited package...

but seriously didn't Walid Karam mention on twitter earlier that the unlimited nights would stay? Someone should ask him about this now!

Yeap, he insisted that free night quota will remain.
Hate it when politicians give us false hope. These plans look all flashy and cool for average users and users who do not think things through, but in reality the change was insignificant.
They  need to understand that there are people who didn't fall for the "80 percent cheaper 3 times faster" scam (if the free night quota is officially cancelled)

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

@Ahmad Toutounji I'm in the same boat as you. 4mb wanting to switch to the 6-8mb no luck: My line can't handle it and i live close to the CO.

Smells fishy.

Cyberia just sent me this:

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Are cyberia's plans that customers are getting to choose clearly stating that they are still offering free nights?
Terra's don't seem to according to their website.
Only IDM so far are still clearly offering free nights.

I highly doubt that FREE NIGHTS will be removed . I have read the decree in the official news paper ( Al jarida al rasmiya) and there was no mention that this will be removed. For free night quota to be removed a decree should be involved, it is not a choice for Ogero.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

I hope so as well.. but it was being handed out in an ogero CO, with the cancelation of free night quota in bold.that is as official as it gets. someone contact walid karamand make sure

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

But those are new plans with new offerings, prices and terms of service. The old ones with free night traffic end on June 30.
Does the decree say anything about night traffic at all?

I really hope that whoever at Ogero produced that piece of paper is an idiot and didn't know what they were doing, and that it's not true. But for them to clearly include that statement and make it in bold characters, I'd have to guess there is something true about it.
