I am facing a slowdown on a different microwave, 35% slower. Getting terranet WDSL 12mbps tomorrow tho. Let's see how it goes.

Great, keep us posted.
I am thinking of getting it in Mansrourieh since it will be cheaper than 4G and I hope that it will be better than the "cable guy" internet which is slow as hell!

Can you give me a summary of the connection and your experience with it and did you push it to the limits?

Well, the only thing that is impressive other than upload speed is the constant latency, I tried pushing it with 300 connection with Bittorrent, the ping went from 55 to 62. There is no NAT which is a plus, but that doesn't matter these days.... Around 2 disconnections per month, not more than 2 minutes, ask them to not put you on a repeater if possible, I had 3 months uptime but poor speeds without repeater since I'm very far.

The ping is not that stable it fluctuates a lot with a margin of 20-30ms while gaming and during peak you suffer around 5% packet loss. Contacted support numerous time they never resolved the issue,imo for gaming stick with ogero. They even went to the extend to replace the repeater i am connected to and still the same problem everyone is facing as it is still a shared bandwidth just like the rest isps offers. If you are serious about gaming get a dedicated internet but it costs a lot even for a 2 Mbps plan.

I agree that the support is trash, but so is Ogero, my ADSL disconnects every 5-30 mins, and no it's not an elevator issue, its affecting the whole neighborhood for a close 7 years now.

Re: Terra Net - WDSL

Yes, I am receiving via a reseller, 150K LBP for installation and 480K LBP a month for 12mbps and I will get the 20mbps upgrade when it's available again. I pay 160K LBP for my current internet and right now it's giving me 4mbps which is unusable for work. The cache is great but everything else is not so good when you're working with streaming all day, I checked and last month I spent 300K LBP on alfa unlimited so might as well get this one and see what happens.

They have FUP they will throttle your bandwidth if you reach a certain quota.

I don t know exactly but after a 100Gb COD cold war and and 1 40Gb update this month my connection is down to 4 Mbps from 10 and even lower during peak times 3.2. I think it is around 250-300Gb monthly, if you want answers ask support as sales are clueless as usual

There is no way you are FUPed at 140GB, This is supposed to be business internet

HAH business you say? They shrugged when I told them about low speeds the first 3 days, "this is not a business connection", that was before it turned to be a signal issue.

I'm sorry I just can't believe you are getting fupped at 250-300 GB. What is the point of having a 300k LBP connection that gives you 300GB at 12mbps when there's much better offers out there. We will see anyway.

They installed 2 Mikrotiks for me, one of them was a QRT5 on my house and the other was a dynadish on the station 10KM away to get a better signal.

Re: Terra Net - WDSL

No it doesn't. WDSL stands for Wireless DSL.
It was specifically launched by Terranet for people who don't or can't have a landline.
They will perform a feasibility test/study and let you know if it works for you (where you live).

great thank you.

but 12mbps for 300k LBP isn't a good option
I use a 4G connection from alfa, it's 25mbps+ for 360k but yes limited to 300GB monthly

AlfaNet is no longer open for new users (max 200GB for now), 300GB is very low for 25mbps, I would recommend Touch FDD (full duplex) at this point as Alfa is TDD (half duplex). From my tests, LTE tends to have a huge 10ms jitter.

Re: Terra Net - WDSL

I get around 220mbps using Alfa's 4G, $200 for 200GB though. I mainly use their unlimited 2 hours quota (50GB FUP).
