@xazbrat it's not a modem restart. The modem was still powered when this happened. Only the DSL and Internet leds went off for about 30 seconds.

This used to happen with my 6 years old thomson modem. It was resolved when I bought a new tp-link modem.

Also there is a spec in UPSes called "Transfer time". It is usually a small number of milliseconds. This tells how much time it takes the UPS to switch to battery power when the electricity goes off. The smaller this number is, the better. I believe that a large transfer time could sometimes cause problems similar to what you are facing.

You can see an example in the specs of this UPS

Re: Feedback for Ogero

Thanks new_user but I should explain that the modem I am using is only 3 weeks old (Asus N16).
Moreover, if the issue was caused by the UPS' transfer time... wouldn't the modem have restarted ? In my case both the pc and modem remained. What happened was that the DSL / Broadband led went off exactly when the power was cut.

It's as if there was a loss of power at the CO or somewhere else along the line.

Seems like the golden age of Kriedieh is gone, he is no longer responding, Ogero twitter DM support is very scripted.

This screams for inductance issue, get your line away from electricity, its a standard comm. building code.

The same issue used to happen to my thomson router a lot, after a lot of trials i ended with the two suggestions, either the cabinet is out of power for short time when the edl goes off or a high noise is generated when edl goes off. Even i never had a call cut when the power goes off.
I changed the modem to vr-900 and i didnt noticed again, not sure if it is from ogero side or router side since ogero chanded the cabinets after few months to fttc.

Not to go into politics or out of the subject, but things aren't looking good for Ogero. Their CEO Imad Kraidiye is under investigation as well as 450 alleged illegal recruitments.

I see, makes sense, there is no free lunch, I was surprised by their recent "good" customer service, which is not happening right now.

Re: Feedback for Ogero

How long does it take to "change port"? They called me today to notify me that they changed the port, even though I requested this since yesterday, and my line stats suggests that they didn't, have to wait and see for stability.
Edit: Just asked them again, and the tech department said nothing was done and its not their fault, its the employee's fault, I'm speechless.

Re: Feedback for Ogero

Hello,

I live in Adonis, Zouk Mosbeh. I'm with Sodetel on an open speed package with 150GB data limit. I'm not happy with my connection at all. It says the rate is around 4000 Kbps, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. I'm thinking of switching to Ogero.

Does anyone know if Ogero will provide a more stable connection in my area?

to me, it looks like they have you capped at 4mb--double check and make sure that is indeed true.  In any case, you see to be near the limit you could possible get as you seem to be nearly 3km away from centrale.   Also, see what ogero's speed test gives you---at least it will give you a general idea what you will be getting.

Check out this calculator and see what it possible--your are close to it, but it won't hurt to check.

Re: Feedback for Ogero

So I guess changing ISPs won't resolve my issues. If I do switch to Ogero, would they send someone to check my phone line connection first? Maybe they'll be able to do something about it, replace cables, etc...

Could be caused by a lot of things, but not really too different ---if you can, tweak how you connect a bit and see if you can connect though a different modulation like ADSL 2, 2+ or G dmt.  They may allow you to get better stability and/or speeds.   If you have the option, uncheck the others and see if you can connect and see if you get any differences.

All modulations are enabled, I guess it switches to the best performing during connect?

Just uncheck everything except for the one you want to test, and see if you connect,  Check your connection, rinse, lather and repeat.  I used to connect with ADSL2 and 2+, but now I am limited to g.dmt which I am fine with right now since I am on a 2mb unlimited connection.  The other ones gave me theoretical higher speeds, but the snr margin was adversely affected and I did have some disconnects,

You don't lose much speed, but you gain better stability.  Just figure out which one is more important to you.

I saw them maybe a month ago near kareems bakery on the main road towards the turn to Hassan mosque.  I haven't seen anyone since, but have seen a few of their vehicles around---just not doing work that I could see.  You are lucky---my max speed here according to Ogero is 3mb---you are lucky to be getting 16 in our area.

Hello again. I hope you'll get faster speeds very soon. Im getting 13 to 14 mbit max on speedtest but inside the router it's sometimes 16 sometimes 17. i dont know why im not getting all the speed. Maybe because it's not a dedicated connection. Anyway i hope we get FTTC as soon as possible because we need it in our area. I live beside doha pharmacy. same building of radwan market i dont know if you know it. The cabinet is very near to the building i live in.
