yourlocalfbiagent wroteHey guys, i wanted to know, is VDSL with IDM a worth it upgrade from ADSL, because im considering upgrading to it and im currently in the middle of my feasibility test and would like to know the experience of existing users.
It is worth it.
My speed increased from 14 to 25, upload from 1 to 7 Mbps (the upload alone is worth it)
a month later
For anyone having connectivity issues with IDM,they currently have an outage for maintenance that started around half an hour ago and is unknown when will internet come back online

In the unlimited evening (7pm-7am), is there a fup? And if there is, is it bad or do we have a good amount of data before it activates? About how much?

No there’s no FUP.

I’ve downloaded more than double my monthly limit during unlimited hours and speed was stable.

No it was the same. I still get between 85 and 90 ms while pinging bbc.co.uk for example (same as with adsl)

I have the IDM plan unlimited 64,500 LBP / 4Mbps, WiFi keeps disconnecting at random times, I contacted IDM they replied back with "Can you please provide us with your contact details so that we can call you and perform the needed troubleshooting?", gave them my phone number, 2 days later still haven't received a call
It is probably easier to get your own Wifi router and just plug in eth port, configure as AP only.
Don't expect much from them, your 64500LL is $3 now.

Around 60000 LBP
The increase is minimal but it's the start since the Ministry did not change the prices yet

Got Fiber from idm/cyberia, I live in Beirut and wss expecting something like 150-200mb/s as they advertise "up to 300mb/s". But I get a max of 80mb/s in the morning at 1m from the modem, and 55mb/s at night.
They pretend we have the best box in our building
So is it normal that speed is under 100mb/s?
Or the nokia g120f modem is somehow limited and coupling a wifi router over ethernet could make a difference?

I remember Ogero chairman once saying that Ogero is by defaut capping the FTTH speeds to 50 mbps so that higher speeds dont cause users to consume their quotas in no time. He added that FTTH users who want higher speed can call Ogero and ask the speed cap to be lifted.

Probably IDM is doing the same? 50-80 Mbps is FTTC speed not FTTH
.
From what I know, 50Mbps is the max that they offer. Now when doing speed tests, it does reach above that considerably (like 70-80) but Ogero employees all tell me that they cap it to a commercial offer of 50Mbps.

Now myself on another hand have managed to run a speed test by wire from the modem directly at 400Mbps. Yes, 400Mbps in Lebanon with Ogero's fiber optics. But, if they do monitor the circuits, they will catch it right away so I decided to not mess with it since I want to keep my service.

I don't think I'd be able to simply act stupid here and tell them "I don't know what I am doing, I am simply browsing the web" because it takes skills to unlock the speed. My understanding is that they cap the bandwidth speed on the end client device (your modem). Mine was reset to factory by me and configurations were manually entered by me again so I did not include any cap limiter for the BW.

Thanks
