Hello everyone
My name is Samer. I am an electronics and communication engineer but I am working in the video content creation.
I am looking for video editors to know how they deal with the internet here in Lebanon especially in Upload speed.
I am working with large files, some times 10gb per file upload/download. The options for the internet in my situation are:
1- ADSL: which is not practical, only 1Mbps upload speed, VDSL is not supported where I live and the download/upload cap is limited. Also, I can't get a phone line under my name because I am Syrian. I tried with Ogero and they refuse.
2- Microwave from Terranet or something else: I will pay around 156$ for 8Mbps Download/Upload "which is too much" and 200$ fees for the equipments, they told me there is no FUP and some people said that there is FUP, so I don't know who said the truth.
I am using a wifi internet connection from a distributor in my area. I pay 50$ for 4mbps Download/Upload and 5GB per day only " which will make me go crazy soon " and after the 5GB the download speed will be 1Mbps. The positive side from this internet is that I get 40~50Mbps download/upload between 1 AM and 9 AM " I don't know how and what happens " so I can download whatever I want but after 12 PM the internet will be not usable.
I don't want to live like an owl and work at night, I got tired from this routine.
Also, going to coworking space will cost me some $$, transportation expenses, a lot of lost time and I love to work from my home.
I start thinking of leaving the freelance work and try to find a real job just to avoid these hassles. I suffered a lot from the Intenet in the last 7 years when I was in Syria but I don't want to give up after these years. First, it is not allowed to work in Lebanon and second I don't think I will find a job.
If there any suggestion or someone working in this field I will I appreciate his participation.
