4mbps 115000  for user through ogero ISP's should be slightly  lower
55000 is the price for the ISP(idm,terranet...)

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Shared IPs is the main source of our download problems, I used to have always downloads with rapidshare,megaupload,... in the beginning with 55kb/s for my 512k adsl and very rarely any broken download, this year I could never get the chance to download from rapidshare and co. because my ''ip is already downloading a file'', my downloads are breaking twice over 3 trials and speed is max 42kb/s!!
Why? because when they started adsl in Lebanon they were puting a reasonable number of people on the same shared IP, now you have about 10 times the allowed connections on the same shared IP...

Since the decree is posted in the official gazette it it 100% sure that starting October we will have it?
(Sorry for my question but I don't really believe anything anymore nowadays).

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Passed by Terranet this morning to sign up for DSL, I had to sign up for the 512 plan since the new ones aren't officially out yet, but since it takes 20-30 days to connect me, and they confirmed that they're launching the new plans October 1st, I'll end up with the 2mb plan apparently.

What I don't understand now is, all the ISPs are equating 512 with 2mb and 1mb with 4mb... what about the 6-8mb plan? I haven't seen anyone other than ogero even mention it.

I have premium accounts at rapidshare, Fileserve and filesonic. I used to download 2Gb every night at 100kb, that continued for about 3 months but now I can't download anything because it's 30kbs at night with minor spikes.

Just gave it a quick speedtest now

2MBPS!!!!

universities get custom packages. this will simply make their bills cheaper.

If I'm not an ogero subscriber, will I pay for my 2 Mbps connection 55,000 LBP ?

Ogero would be $50, from other it would be $24 charged by the ministry in addition to the subscription charged by the ISP, so the total should add up to around $50, or maybe a bit less

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Exactly as ali_m3 said, the cheap table is between Ogero and ISP, and for end users.
Private sector prices will be minus down to 5000 L.L not more.

I think my isp has switched to the new internet. Download rate steady at 100kb/s for the last 4 hours.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

ISP: satgate
Package: 256 / 44$

I started by downloading a 120mb file, it went down in 10mins at 100kb/s. Now I'm downloading a 700 mb file, got the first 250mb at 100kb/s but now it's bouncing between 30 and 50kb/s. I saw it go for 250kb/s for about 10 seconds, hoping to see that after midnight.

EDIT: Apparently, the bandwidth rebooted at 12:45 then I was able to continue downloading the 700mb file which I had 400mb left. I was able to download 320mb at 120kb/s then it sharply dropped to 50kb/s.

EDITE EDIT: It just got back up to 130kb/s. Speedtest just now

We must not relax.
And second, there should be preparations for this day, and we should all take a notice on them.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

So i have IDM 128k but i was always getting 170-200kbps
And they did not give me double speed or unlimited night as they claimed the line cannot handle it (mansouriyeh)
I am not sure how the line will now handle 1mbps
