Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Hi
My friend has a strange problem with Ogero DSL.
After successfully programmed the TPlink modem by ogero, he plugs the modem in his house and there was no dsl, called ogero and they told him to try the modem at his neighbor's house, he tries it at his neighbor's house and it is working, try his neighbor's modem (different brand) in his house and also working, try again his modem in his house he has no success.
Does anyone have a clue on what is happening?

check the filter and wires to the filter, seems like there is a poor connection somewhere.

The quota is linked to the DSL number and not to the modem

I think the PPPoE won't connect unless it's connected to the same phone line, If you have any way to get a phone line wire from your garage to your house, you could use it like that, otherwise, you can't use it.

Unless you know someone at Ogero who can temporarily switch the L numbers for you. (Needs very strong wasta)

It works, you can even use your neighbors PPPOE on your own phone line. For example take your neighbors PPPOE and put in your modem, it works and usage will be billed on them. It even works even if they have their modem on inside their home, means a PPPOE account can be active in more than one place at a time. There is absolutely 0 security regarding this, that's why you should always be careful that nobody ever gets hold of your modem credentials because possibly he would extract the PPPOE user and password and use them to do big downloads "for free". It even works cross ISP, for example if you are an ogero subscriber and you use a cyberia PPPOE, it works too but the speed will be limited/slower than ogero.

Funny, I had 2 ADSL lines, and that did not work.

You can't do it on the same line in the same house at the same time. You probably misunderstood what I'm saying. You have to change the PPPOE user and password on your modem, you can't have 2 different modems connected at the same time in your house.

I've got two phone lines, they're obviously not connected to the same line, ADSL doesn't sync like that.
I had IDM on one, and Ogero on the other btw.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Hello,I have internet thru a reseller. I asked him for a website to check my consumption and the package i have. He was like do whatever you want and don't care for the quota. But i really need it to check them. On speedtest it shows that he has internet from VISP " Virtual ISP ". What should i do to check my quota and the package im taking? Thank you.

Try following url: https://misp.cloud/user
And http://speedtest.misp.cloud might hint about username, demand password from reseller

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

I am lost which ones are reliable and won't lower the internet speed.

sodetel doesn't deliver the speed as promised and is less expensive

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

There's no proper ISP in lebanon that will give you good internet for cheap. All residential providers have flaws. Ogero seems to be the one with the least issues.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Ogero is the best.

From the start of the pandemic the internet was very stable when the private ISPs were throttling the speed. I am playing all the time with 56-65 ping to Europe server (Interleaving off).

Also, the speed is consistent. I am on VDSL right now but for the last 3 years ogero was very good.

The decision that led to every ISP being forced to buy bandwidth from ogero was probably the worst decision for competition.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Hello all, anyone has internet thru reseller that has been experiencing slow internet since like 2 weeks? My internet was amazing until he told me that there's a problem with Ogero central in Jdeideh. He said his internet is from Jdeideh central and there's a problem there. Even though when i go to speedtest. I can see VISP " Virtual ISP ". At morning till afternoon i used to get 4 to 5 mbit stable speed. After 3 AM i get arround 13 mbit. I'm not even having 13 mbit after 3 AM anymore. it's maximum 2mbit all of the day. Can someone confirm this? Thank you.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

I'm looking for higher speed internet in Daychounieh. The best i can get through ADSL is 4mbps.

Can anyone recommend alternatives?

I live in the valley, way down.

Honestly, After suffering for 5 years, if you are willing to pay 300k a month for Terranet WDSL 12mbps go for it. True unlimited internet, stable 24/7. If you wanna go even more crazy, buy 2 (or as many as you want connections) and bond them with openmptcprouter. I made another thread about it where beta0 has extremely detailed explanations.
