Feedback for Sodetel
Has anyone tried contacting Sodetel and asking what the fuck is going on?
Did sodetel remove their facebook page? :)

DSL is down for the past 8 hours in hadat/baabda, it is the fourth time this month,last one was sunday all day long.
Internet has been down in Bir Hassan/Jnah since midnight, this is the second time this happens. They sent an apology via sms last time it happened and yet here we are again. What is happening? I've been subscribed to Sodetel since 2012 and never once has this happened for such an extended period of time, at max I'd lose the connection for a few hours but not an entire day.

Hi guys I just wanted to ask has anyone been suffering internet downtimes with Sodetel using a TP-link modem (TD-W8970). My connection dies for like an hour every time i restart the modem.
Me too, the same problem, i have linksys x1000 and the zte the same problemGeorgeN wroteHi guys I just wanted to ask has anyone been suffering internet downtimes with Sodetel using a TP-link modem (TD-W8970). My connection dies for like an hour every time i restart the modem.
The linksys x1000 has a software bug where it would randomly hang until you restart it once each 1 or 2 days. I never suggest that piece of garbage to anyone looking to buy a modem.semaan wroteMe too, the same problem, i have linksys x1000 and the zte the same problemGeorgeN wroteHi guys I just wanted to ask has anyone been suffering internet downtimes with Sodetel using a TP-link modem (TD-W8970).

Depends on what you look for in a modem as budget and features available . If you are looking for a cheap and decent modem with a good interface and that won't cause issues like hanging for no reason D-link modems are quite nice like the D-link 2750U, I found it to be cheap and reliable. Also stay away from TP-link W series they have shitty RAM management it's a pain in the ass sometimes to make them save changes you did in their interface (changing wifi pass for example) even if you try "fixing" it with turning off upnp.semaan wrotewhat do you recommend for a dsl modem?vengeance666 wroteThe linksys x1000 has a software bug where it would randomly hang until you restart it once each 1 or 2 days.

Anyone downloading faster than 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mbps?
I am syncing at 22 Mbps and speed-testing at ~20.
I am never getting over this rate, seems it is hard capped from Sodetel?
So much for open speed!

If you are speedtesting at 20 mbps, it means that your speed is not capped!nefe_lpmk wroteAnyone downloading faster than 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mbps?

yea it seems it is capped . before the upgrade i was getting 7 mbps , after the upgrade i'm getting 9-9.5 mbps
Speed-test automatically picks a local server, which are rigged and always give 20+ m.kfc wroteIf you are speedtesting at 20 mbps, it means that your speed is not capped!nefe_lpmk wroteAnyone downloading faster than 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mbps?

If you want the real speed, pick a server outside Lebanon and the speed will drop to 10-11.
it means they don't have enough international bandwith!nefe_lpmk wroteSpeed-test automatically picks a local server, which are rigged and always give 20+ m.kfc wroteIf you are speedtesting at 20 mbps, it means that your speed is not capped!nefe_lpmk wroteAnyone downloading faster than 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mbps?

Well that's what matters right? Every game you play, every video you stream, every download server you are downloading from, all of those are located somewhere outside Lebanon mainly Europe west. Who cares what I would get connecting to a server in Lebanon. Most optimal choice is to speedtest Marseille-Orange because as far as I remember that's where we get our internet from, and well I find it the most accurate, I get the same ping in games and download speeds.kfc wroteit means they don't have enough international bandwith!nefe_lpmk wroteSpeed-test automatically picks a local server, which are rigged and always give 20+ m.kfc wrote

Noticed some improvement on the connection since Saturday
I have the 2Mbps unlimited plan, speet tests always showed 1.2~1.3 Mbps speed maximum.
This weekend the speeds were stable at 1.9~2Mbps.
