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.

You live up on the other side of Aramoun---that big cabinet in Aramoun near Sousa seems to have been made for the 'sakanheh' and you seem to be recipient being on the road to it.  I live down near Blom and we don't get anywhere near those speeds here.  Hopefully that changes soon.

Hello xazbrat. I need a favor. Can you please ping to google servers? 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 and please give me the ms results? Are you on interleave fast mode too? Thank you

This doesnt make sense..in networking a cpe is customer-premises equipment or customer-provided equipment..meaning your modem or router..antenna perhaps etc ..maybe they meant the filter or your adsl modem needs reconfiguration ?

I dont know he just told me go to them and tell them to fix the CPE. I went last time they reconfigured the router and i did twice myself. There is still a problem in it. I'm really lost

Then he meant they will either change or reconfigure your modem(cpe)

Re: Feedback for Ogero

So I called today someone at Ogero and asked him about Mathaf area as I need to know about the fiber thing plans... He said you can fill an application ( he needs 4 signature from residents ) and we will install you the fiber box in the building.

He clarified that we should pay 289,000 LL ( one time fee / deferred payment possible over 10 months  ) . It will be FTTH not FTTC.

And once the box is set, another " company " will get in touch with me to do the wiring from cabinet to home for $133 USD.

Anybody went through the process ? if yes anybody knows which FTTH modem they're using ?

It is easier and more convenient to got a router that has bandwidth limiter and hook it up to the modem. Maybe next month you want the speed

There is problem with Ogero backbone latency, affecting ISPs and probably SOME Ogero customers.

That is true, the quality of the internet is degrading in the past couple months. Unfortunately, the exact reason is unknown. As it is planned to have FTTC/VDSL, I am going to invest a bit early in changing the modem.

In your case, and as what I understood from you, when a modem restarts for no good reason this means that the modem is faulty and has to be replaced. One fact to take into consideration, some modems provides access to Ogero's technical team for remote support and adjustments. This could be another reason for such issue, but as they have recently added this feature on new modems, I doubt this is the case for you.

well  that's what i thought at first , so i went to central and bought  ogero  modem  just for the sake  of trying  , same result ,  modem  keeps restarting for unknown reason , i called them few    times , my line is great blah blah blah no issue so i gave up     , it's just a waste of time dealing with them after all it's lebanon  we  have seen that before nothing new . :

well,i also noticed that my tp link vr900 is having massive packets error (250 000 per hour) and frequent adsl disconnect.This started to happen the day they started to install fiber optic cable in our street (Aisha Bakar area).called them and they claimed that the errors are because of faulty modem or filter (as usual).
I installed my old thomson modem on the side of dsl and vr900 working as dhcp router.Errors decreased to 120 000 per day.

This was my only solution till fiber box in my building is activated by the end of this year.

funny thing ,speed is limited to 50 Mbps over fiber (ogero and private ISPs),so you don't need to install fiber to your home and use fiber modem (of cost 210$ or more ).
as long as fiber is connected to your building,you can still use your old copper cable and activate VDSL to get the same speed (50 Mbps).

Re: Feedback for Ogero

Why are Ogero's unlimited plans more expensive than those of other ISPs?
4M unlimited is for 60$ at Ogero while it is for 40$ at Idm/ cyberia/ sodetel

Re: Feedback for Ogero

Why to bother, none of them truly unlimited and all have sorts of FUP or restrictions. Government prices for dedicated capacity is several times higher, add also on expenses on last-mile, equipment, licenses, personnel...
Ogero has not yet limited its tariffs in matters of FUP and etc, but rather because it does not know how to do this and they are not concerned about the issue of squandering government money and fair competition, they are not bothered about being profitable in this matter. (therefore unlimited at ogero is semi-dedicated in most of cases)
I advise you to ask for details about FUP before connecting. If you use not much traffic, but just do not want to receive additional bills at the end of the month, then "unlimited" from some ISP is fine for you.
If you expect to buy unlimited and use it 100% 24/7 - Ogero.
