Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

It depends how much you download. Some people tend to download 7gb every night and i think in this case it's inevitable that this policy will apply.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Guys, what the upload speed for the 2M plan?

@SpriGunMAn: choose your plan from here : dslpopup.sodetel.net.lb/switch.php

I just copied the link from Ruroken's screenshot.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Can you guys see the 8 Mbps plan in the list of options? I only see the 1, 2, and 4 Mbps plans.

They stated that these new packages will start from November 1st, so the change in quota will happen then.

@Ziad: I can see the 8Mb plan only in the website page and not in the account page. Check it from the main website.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

It really sucks!  Unlimited Night traffic starts at 12 Am (11 Am was better) who's gonna sit at 12 for online gaming, voice chat or video conferences!. Bullsh*t.

Look @ IDM: They they have 2 plans for 2 Mbps. Are we goning back to watch youtube videos and monitor the capacity! (Same sh*t.. different smell).

Totally illogical. Let's say i'm currently on 4 Mbps plan and if i wana download something, like windows 8 trial, assuming its size is 6GB and may finish from 12AM till 8AM. They will kill my conn speed right?!

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

I don't think it sucks at all. I play online games and i've never worried about it consuming all my quota. As for downloads, i have a scheduler that i can use. The huge difference between IDM and Sodetel is the price. I'm paying $44 for 4Mb, nothing on IDM's side can beat that and that's what matters to me. The 12am issue is not even a worry to me.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

For the price, you are right and you changed my mind , but it is about downloads and watching videos especially the ones with HD resolutions. They consume much with the new speeds. For me, i don't want headaches and run schedules for downloads ,like before, within the unlimited night trafic period and be worried about downloading 7GB programs. I just want to download whatever i want in the unlimited night traffic.

Your 4 Mbps is suitable for your case but for 2 Mbps users, IDM has 2 Mbps plan with different GBs which is better than Sodetel :E.

Let me correct myself: @IDM: Unlimited download between 23:00 - 07:00am where available and under certain conditions.

Seemingly they do have Fair Usage Policy too.

Frankly, somehow i can say same sh*t different smell again and again.
Shared upload and download of 10 GBs which means 1 GB of involuntarily uploads will be added.
If you wana upload videos and stuff, more minuses to the shared capacity.

Law el connection in lebanon 10G instead of 3.9G, lah etdal maskhara menwara akil al hawa....hinih wil capacity makino ya3irfo yzabtowa...sa7ee7 balad 'fogor', means bokhol bil falasteni

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

That may explain why i sometimes i feel the connection fluctuates. Maybe WE should wait till the first of November to confirm that.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Yep it's true they realized that if they did remove unlimited downloads it would knock them out of the competition zone. Basically they were going for a consistent quality connection, but they realized most people just want to know they wont run out of quota while being able to download a lot.

And Ruroken I hope your ping jumped back down to 98ms like mine did in these last 2 days ;)

i really hope that the 10GB is shared between download and upload and NOT split in half as it was before

in your case yes but isn't it just better if it is 10Gb up and 10GB down instead?!

Currently I have the 1M plan. The download/upload is 6GB for each (not shared). I have no idea why they would change it for next month.

It is still as 'ADSL-512-Sod' in my account profile but with 8GBs upload and download, faster connection, and better ping.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

I used to have the 256 Kbps package (3GB up/3GB down). I got upgraded to 1 Mbps with 6GB up+6 GB down and now they're going to make it 6GB shared? :S
I'm going to switch to IDM. They're offering a better quota (10GB shared) for almost the same price and their free night traffic starts one hour earlier than Sodetel's.

EDIT: I'm gonna stay with sodetel after all. :) I chose the 2M/10 GB package.
