Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

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.

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

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...

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

I'm getting random disconnections on Ogero as well lately.

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

Yes, taking away mine.
:(

Ogero team did mission impossible tonight, they fixed major issue on backbone outside. No idea how they did it, countries there in lockdown, but they did it.
Latency on many ISPs should be much more stable and better now (unless they are overloaded).

pros-services doing good.

speedtest is local , search for other bw tests...

nuclearcat wrotespeedtest is local , search for other bw tests...

you mean change host like this?

For all of you considering to post their internet speed consider www.testmy.net instead as it will give you an accurate speed for your international bandwidth.
