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.
Wish I didn't read this before I applied:

Latency might be lower, 5-15ms, this is factually correct, but for whom does it matter, besides nerds who spend half their lives playing dota and other shooters?
P.S. with Ogero you rely on the choice of their administrators, and if you are not satisfied with the latency/loss of specific backbone serving your NAT pool, you have not much choice. And sometimes it is downright crap, for example when they had problems with opentransit. YMMV.
THGV has gaming pool option, or tunneled traffic option, for more optimal routing and we provide customers with the opportunity to enable these tariff options. But i admit, on average Ogero latency is less, as i said in few ms, and less hassle to get this lower latency.

4Mbit real unlimited. It's cool. But with a bunch of BUT.
1) Your upload is asymmetrical. Hello video conferencing, unless you do it alone.
2)1 Terabyte? Haha. With one caveat, while you are downloading this terabyte - you are suffering from a crappy Internet, since you have your funny 4Mbit congested. Ogero has no QoS, just a fifo on the DSLAM.
In addition, THGV has users who download hundreds of terabytes. Of course, they will not be able to download them at peak hours, since the cost of traffic for private operators is much higher, but we provide this opportunity at night (unlimited).

Highlighted in bold is factually incorrect or blunt lie.
I am aware specifically about offloading on THGV, and I can say that THGV has one of the largest number(in Lebanon) of CDN nodes installed.
In order to talk about traffic offloaded or not, you need to have necessary experience on topic, otherwise you dishonor yourself with illiterate statements.
I am ready to provide evidence in a private chat, with an independent arbiter who understands this specific field after signing the NDA, but on the word that after providing conclusive evidence - you admit in forum publicly, that you draw conclusions without the necessary qualification to do so.

Unlimited plan for kids?
Oh well. Tell that to all non-tech-savvy people(majority of users) and especially large families with a dozen devices, that on top of all the problems in Lebanon, they need to watch and count the traffic on every device and every family member, to not have crazy bills at next month or internet cut off early.
I remember a conference on investment in Lebanon several years ago, when an investor from England spoke and said - what the hell is the internet in Lebanon, in which you need to throw coins like an ancient telephone booth for the amount of Internet so that it continues to work. Service plans with traffic counting are an atavism. It might do in some cases with mobile internet, but its dead wrong for fixed plans.
