Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Now that the government has stepped up containment measures and asked all private and public institutions to close their doors for 2 weeks, how will Ogero (and other ISPs) deal with the fact that people won't be able to pay their phone/DSL bills for the month of February which should have normally been issued after March 15th 2020 ?

The government, and since 17 of October had stopped all measures to freeze any landline due to lack of payment. This is still applicable till date. on the other hand, you may still pay your bills online using any debit card, if it is enabled for online payments by your bank. Check with your bank by calling the call center.

Also, you could pay your bill at any OMT branch.

Other ISPs has online payments as well, check their webpage for more information.

I'm a gamer, I was on ogero with open speed 200, though I was struggling because no unlimited night quota was provided. For that I decided to transfer to mobi 2 moths ago. However their service is disgusting and I'm unable to play online games since then. Are all private isp like that and if yes is there a way to avoid the 40 days no internet to go back to ogero.

Same here turned to Mobi because Ogero doesn't have free night quota, and ever since(2 months) peak time internet is very bad.
Any news on private isps if they are willing to fix their situation? Because Ogero is the only reliable option right now.

With the new updates due to the outbreak, Ogero isn't near reliable anymore.

I thought ogero was stable, i have some friends who said that

It used to be. For the past day or two all I'm getting is randomly disconnections and extreme slowdowns. (Including my friends)

Most of us are at home using that home DSL connection and over Wifi, so local congestion is inevitable especially those who are still with a 6 year (sometimes 10 with those old 586 thomson modems) old modem which mainly uses a single 2.4GHz band.

This local congestion over Wifi could potentially, drop internet connection, drop packets, increase latency (especially if over wifi).

As you know those modems, have RAMs and a CPU and if they can't sustain the local connection along with its primary role to modulate the DSL connection then it will most likely run into bottlenecks, even overheating.

Mine is very stable, not even blinking. I guess it depends where you live.

Most likely high amount of electrical appliances and cross-interference in some dense areas might degrade signal in copper wires and can cause modems to desync. Not Ogero to blame in this particular case...

We're having classes in my university on Microsoft Teams, half of the class is losing connection at the same time, and the other half loses it at another time. It's quite odd considering they wanted to "double our speed and traffic".

Which ISP it is?

Ogero.

The key under current circumstances is monitoring your internal network. Even utilizing bandwidth control if possible on your modem/router to specific devices not used for critical tasks. If you still didn't notice an issue, then check the modem stats.

Is it just me or that I'm actually experiencing better stability and higher speeds since they doubled the quota ? They might have fixed something on their end at that point which is giving me a better internet experience overall

Only you

Yes, taking away mine.
