I'm not gamer (at least not playing online internationally, just LAN parties), so can't say for sure.
It depends also on last mile, how you are going to be connected to them, DSL adds by itself significant latency, i will check if they managed to disable interleaving for anyone.

and please check for us the ping for google DNS (8.8.8.8) connecting through DSL or the other solution you said,
Lets make the google DNS a reference, so we can take an idea how is latency/gaming there,


Values for "Ping 8.8.8.8" from my side:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interleaving ON Ogero : 66ms - 69ms
Interleaving OFF Ogero : 42ms - 45ms
IDM (with gaming pool) : 71ms - 74ms

All above values are through DSL,
Okay so I am a bit confused. I have a phone line with ADSL active from Ogero. Now if I want to subscribe with them , I'll have to install a new phone line ? I don't understand. They mentioned fiber internet plans , but my area doesn't have fiber yet at all. How are the lines deployed ? Do they even reach all Lebanon ?
Google is not good reference, it is anycast node :)

Not on DSL (DSL without interleaving adds 3-5ms):
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=52.2 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=52.0 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=50 time=52.4 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=4 ttl=50 time=52.2 ms

But i will work to make gaming pool (it exist too) same as Ogero latency.

So its way than better than IDM, but still Ogero values are the best,
can we turn off interleaving with THGV, or is it an Ogero exclusive ability ?
I'm investigating that.
One of my colleagues who are head of "fine-tuning department" - in the hospital. Therefore, all such work has slowed down for a week or two. But probably i will manage to do it.

It depends on what is planned for your area. If you are going to get FTTC, the applied technology will be VDSL. As such, you need to change your ADSL router to a VDSL one. Nevertheless, you could still benefit from FTTC on an ADSL router as the speed would reach ~18Mbps.

If the plan is to deploy FTTH in your area, you would have to pay almost 200,000LBP to get the new connection. It would be a first connection fee if I am not mistaken.
2 months later
so I switched to this ISP at the beginning of the month when I canceled from wise, it took them 6 days to have it ready.
However as some of you mentioned, they are not very professional.
for starters when you call their number, there is no computer or queue. Its just 1 line and you gotta hope its not busy. had to call over 7-8 times to finally talk to an operator.
I applied via their website and put my info, they requested I send them photo id and last phone line bill via whatsapp. I rementioned in whatsapp what I was applying for (both places I requested VDSL 300gigs)
On September 7 they installed adsl, the guy installing somehow believed that max speed for VDSL is 25mb/s, I had to send picture proofs to convince him that I was getting 45mb/s from wise's vdsl.
and ever since september 7 I have been texting, calling, trying to get them to change it to VDSL, apparently the guy in charge who installed my router and was taking care of my account no longer worked their so they didnt know about it.
They don't have internet cards, so the method of payment is going to be via OMT/money transfer (not very convenient plus extra charges).
now about the quality, the speed is the max of what I would get from a adsl (20 mb/s), the latency is a bit worse than wise, but still better than my friends IDM.
Sometimes I get lag spikes, but I dont know if its the connection or because my family is using while I game, even tho I think 20mb/s should be more than enough for this connection.

As a final conclusion, I will switch to fiber once it becomes available in my area, but probably with either ogero or wise, since wise is doing a really great offer right now. (setup+modem+installation+3 months for $10) don't know how legit it is or if there's a catch, haven't called them yet, but sounds too good to be true.

Hello, while I was scrolling through my feed on instagram I stumbled upon an ad for an ISP called thglobalvision. Their offers are too good to be true: 4MB unlimited for only 66 000, open speed 500gbs for 75 000 etc. Has anyone ever tried this ISP, if so would you recommend it?
Though I feel like they are too good to be true, super fast and super cheap for Lebanon.

I've heard good things about them.

I've had daily FUP with them. VDSL has additional charge unlike most ISPs.

The ideal package for me is open speed 300 gbs unlimited night traffic with gaming package for only 60 000. I mainly download torrents and play online and stream series. Like I said it's too good to be true, so is there any catch to it and would you recommend it?

Good support, fake unlimited, the speed goes down daily when you exceed certain limit, stick to Ogero if you want unlimited, plus most of the DSL line issues are directed at Ogero.so you're gonna have to deal with them anyways.

So are the limited plans any good? And is there any catch to it because I feel like it's too cheap compared to other isps.

I wouldn't mind the FUP if the budget is very low, can't have free lunch. Donno about other plans.
Also hint, at THGV fup applied dynamically and fairly, if bandwidth are "full", unlike other ISPs where they have everything static, even they have lot of capacity free.
At lockdown, unfortunately, it plays a bit negative role as FUP is calculated from early morning, but still better than others, as its not 24h. It releases after school for a while and at night, on lower load.

What about the limited plans? Ever tried them and are they any good? I know I keep saying this but it's too good to be true. I'm currently subscribed to sodetel with 150 gbs open speed and unlimited night traffic for 67 000. How is THGV selling a plan 300 gbs unlimited night traffic for 60 000? It sounds absurd! Why would we ever ever subscribe to other isps if they are this cheap? Hope it doesn't have a catch to it because I want to change isps and this deal is just perfect

Please note that nuclearcat works/worked for THGV AFAIK unless I'm mistaken, no offense, it's good to know how FUP works, thanks.

I have no idea. Yes, I do some of the tasks in THGV (as well as in some other operators), as freelancer, but i don't even have a clue about the final picture of settings or plans available, and i don't know exactly the current policies on restrictions, traffic, etc.
My guess is early sale discounts, owner want to have more DSL users.
And i didn’t mind, because people are funny, they think with clichés "ogero is better, because they are at source of internet in Lebanon", so i dont expect them will come en masse.
But THGV has enough some resources that it will give away for free or at a discount, such as many local offloading CDN servers, while others (including Ogero) will charge you money for each byte.

Lower latency, real unlimited (over 1TB at 4Mbit unlm. plan) are not cliché. These are commonly shared findings from people and on this forum, not ISPs defamation attempts... 1mbit is not a real internet speed these days after exceeding 8GB per day from your dear company... YouTube and Netflix weren't offloaded either, only certain titles from Steam and few non encrypted sources (HTTP/FTP), not really a CDN, more like caching.
The unlimited plan seems to be useful for kids or when you can't control the traffic and the budget is very low, while still having a somewhat usable accessible internet.
