Yes battle.net too (it uses a hybrid http/torrent/p2p downloads). Also steam game updates are slower
I am getting full speed on battle.net. I am an Ogero subscriber.
This is not acceptable, Ogero is taking all the speed from private ISPs to give them free for their own customers as x2 speed and x2 quotas
We should bombard the ministry of telecom twitter account as well as cal MTV or LBC or New TV so they expose this BS job to the public.
I can't even access games trainers website because of their shitty anti-piracy thing, ya ma7la China
I have been experiencing this since 3 months ago. My isp throttling my bandwidth from 5 pm till 12 pm. After calling the support line multiple times they finally confesed that they are unable to buy the required amount of international bandwidth to the current situation... i found a way around it and it works flawlessly.

For me it started happening 12 days ago I think before the x2 quota thing. So it's not directly related even though it got worse lately

I guess that it's the logical reason
Hello, I charged my internet with 4mbs 40gb around two weeks ago. but now i m working from home using work VPN and I expect my quota to by pass the 40 gb especially due to social media videos...etc.
Do you recommend that i subscribe to the unlimited night service? I guess I can postpone my downloads after 11 pm... but I m afraid that the regular speed will get throttled and I ll have to go back to office.

I should have got 70GB plan.

Thanks.

They are throttling the speed even before the unlimited nigh at 11pm. You can subscribe if you want but try to limit your downloads

I don't use downloads like torrents or play games, just social media, youtube... max expected increase would be few GBs

Do you recommend any specific max to not cross. All I care about is throttling during the day as might affects video meetings and it won't be good to break while on meeting.

Well i didn't monitor it thoroughly.However yesterday for example my consumption was less than 2.5 GB before 6 pm and 3.5 GB before 9 pm and my speed wasn't throttled!
The day before, i downloaded a Ubuntu torrent and i consumed 3.5 GB before 6 pm, so at 6pm Bang my speed was throttled.
So maybe the 3 GB is the limit. I have a 200 GB plan, so in order to consume it, I have to consume 6 GB per day. If they are throttling the connection at 3 GB, it will be difficult to consume all my GBs at the end of the month
alcolopa wroteHello, is anyone having issue with high latency?
I used to get 120 ping on lux.valve.net now i am getting 300+
This only happens at night.
I thought I'm the only one. I got exactly the same above problem from evening till midnight every day. And it started a few days ago.

But hey it's the only time that I play games!!! In the evening.

Slow downloads? Ok but why high ping too? The games are unplayable with high latency.

Both since there is congestion + slowing downloads (throttling which started a few days ago), you will get high latency
And maybe there are changing routes too
nuclearcat wroteOgero is monopoly. They can give as much as they want, backbone is cheap for them. So when they give discount for end-users, its just unfrair competition and discrimination of population who use private operators. Might sound good for those who use Ogero, but you are going down the rabbit hole like that and will pay for such carelessness later.
Private companies can't follow lead, due quarantine all people home and usage is already 30-40% higher, they are extra full. So can't blame IDM for those measures... just i hope they leave VPN alone. It's essential for teleworking.
All this double quota promises some operators give - pure populism. It will cost fortune for them to provide quality with double quota.
Same, i hope they leave VPN. I am working from home now using VPN to connect to my work, so if they block VPN, i can't work, period.
I used to have almost stable 8 Mbps, lately im getting 2-3 Mbps. WTF is happening ? Also Alfa isnt connecting to LTE, even if I force LTE it just doesnt connect, so stuck on H+ there too.

The storm destroyed some antennas especially in Mount Lebanon. You won't get 4g+ soon.
Yesterday, i didn't have any 3G or 4G in Beirut for over an hour
And given the actual Coronavirus crisis only half if not a third of the technicians will go to repair antennas on sites making the repairs much slower

Thats weird. I might understand workers in office, who dont want to socialize, but working at roofs, at open air...
For me i dont mind to work in server rooms or outside, as soon as no need to contact close with other people and they are healthy.
From the IDM homepage:
Dear IDM subscriber*,

As a response to the situation caused by the Corona virus outbreak and to encourage people working from home, IDM is pleased to inform you that It has started working with the Ministry of Telecom to increase the speed and to double the capacity of your package, free of charge.
This measure will come into effect and will be announced as soon as the technical requirements with the Ministry are completed.
Stay tuned, stay safe!

*Applicable to all “residential” DSL and Fiber subscribers

IDM, the Internet people
Exactly a week and still 200-300ms to Europe servers in the evening (gamers time).
Any news about this high ping with IDM?

I'm with Mobi, and I've been suffering from high ping/low speed at peak time(not exactly 200-300ms tho)
IDM doubled the quota
edit: but pings are higher now and speeds are even lower and packets losses are over the roof
