The long awaited ADSL service in Lebanon is to be launched in 2006. The Arab Advisors Group expects an immediate healthy uptake of the ADSL service, which will contribute towards enhancing the position of the regulated legal ISPs.
Full story can be found here.
I wonder what prices will be like...
Yeah hopefully these bunch of #### and ###### realize that lower prices is very important for long-term attraction of foreign companies to the country.
BTW, ADSL does not mean that we will have lower prices.
I wonder why this delay. Is Politics the only reason behind not having such services in Lebanon where in other countries it is a normal thing?
When Ogero started the ISDN service, they could have easily started DSL.
i wonder too, since they were supposed to have installed the necessary infrastructure when they upgraded the phone network in the late nineties.
hopefully prices will be abit fair... we just have to wait and see
i hope adsl is about 1 MB not 128k (iza 128 ma3melna shi) w nshalla ma yeser2o bil se3er
Don't worry, if everything is installed properly (by the state), downstream rate would be between 256 kbps to 8 Mbps and upstream rate would be between 64kbps to 256 kbps.
ADSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is the best solution for residents because residents relatively want higher download speeds unlike corporations who need faster upload bandwidth because they have servers.

I've heard something like that, are you talking about Fiber Optics specially in downtown :?
Anyway speaking about Prices...A week ago i got a free upgrade from 128 to 256 downstream from IDM saying that the internet cost in lebanon has decreased so you'd better start chasing your ISP Providors to decrease the prices :twisted:

What sort of connection are you talking about? Business or residential broadband?
That's good if THEY called you to double your bandwidth, then the prices must have really dropped a lot!
It's Business Broadband....In fact, as u said the prices in the next few months would Drop more and more hopefully.
For a Home Connection for example there's a guy offering a 64 down 32 Up connection For only 10$ a month (Cable) in Bourj Hammoud Area.....

I had a little discussion with my idm 128k distributor
ADSL will be available in Beirut beginning 1st November 2005
He signed a contract with ogero
Connection speed will be a standart 2mb/s !!! means 256kb/s download,16x more than the actual 128k connection
BUT YOU NEED 4 clients per building for seting up because it will cost them 600$ of hardware per building ,I didn't understood if it will be an adsl to network card adapter or not(adsl modems are very costy)
For the prices nothing is decided but it would be 100$ set up fees + 40 to 60$ per month
Personally it's my last 128k bill that I paid 2 days ago because it will end 7 days before adsl launching,I can wait 1 week
What I should begin to do is to talk to neighbours,normally they will accept because they are already taking the slowy 128k,I cross my fingers :shock:
ooooooh oooooooh oooooooooooh
ooooooooh ooooooooooh
hey man I have a "router ADSL ethernet modem" ask the man if i can use it or i must buy their adsl or they dont give me connection !!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

You most probably still need to buy an ADSL modem.
no he doesn't, what i understand from jalal is that he has a adsl modem, router, and ethernet switch... so then he doesn't need an adsl modem as it is built in.
Bad news for adsl:
it's gonna be 55$ for only a 1gb total download if you know what I mean,I wonder if it's adsl or satelitte!

Where did you get this info? I dont believe it's true!
I talked to the cable distributor of 128k
he said 2 or 3 pack will be available with the same speed but different total download,yes it's unbeleivable to have only a small 1gb.it's ridiculous!
a 4 gb total download will be at 120$,guys we should do something,anyone can get us a rendez vous with mr Hamadé? we can't let those squals from ogero steal again,adsl in all other countries has unlimited download 20 mb/s for 40$
honé bi rabhoulna jmilé a3la 2 mb/s limited total download??
