is there is any news about new internet bundles and price from ogero and other providers
Guys, who is the best provider when it comes to peak time speeds?
i'm currently with THGV, they are all time perfect, but issues start one month ago, i barely get 500kbps after 7PM on a VDSL connection.
any suggestions ? what do you think about Terranet "Terra play" bundle ?

I have this same issue as well with THGV. around 7pm --> after 11pm the internet ceases to exist unless you are on youtube, google search, or instagram. I'm not sure why for these 4 hours they only give proper bandwidth to those websites and block everything else to 250 - 500kbit. It's like everything is working properly at 7-8mbit then suddenly when the clock hits 8 pm it magically goes to 500kbit. This isn't peak time slowdown, this is just them deliberately capping everyone at 500kbit unless you are playing on youtube or instagram. I haven't tried terranet but I think i'll just move to ogero to be on the safe side.

Ogero is the best
Hello guys,
I have a question please,
1)What's the best MTU size for Ogero PPPoE?
Is it 1492, or 1480(default) or something else?
2)By the way, do I have to reduce my ethernet MTU to be the same as PPPoE or 1500 is good for that?

Can anyone help me please?

I have dsl from IDM and my neighbour in the same building has the same. However, we get our connection from 2 different lines. My line has higher SNR and max attainable speed of 4Mbps while my neighbour only has 2Mbps. However, due to power issues in the Ogero central, I only get internet after 6:30 pm. This is when generators turn on. My neighbour has very few connection outages. (Less than 2 hrs per day)

Does anyone know why 2 subscribers in the same building would be connected to 2 different lines? And is it possible to switch to the same line as my neighbour? I'd rather get a slow connection that is available all the time than a faster connection that is not available during the day.

Try this: When your subscription expires do not renew it. When you open any webpage you might get automatically redirected to the website of your provider.

Why have ISPs not mentioned their new DSL prices yet? (I have checked IDM, Sodetel and Terranet) I think we have the right to know the new prices ahead of time to be able to plan on any changes we need to make to be able to accommodate the new pricing. I know Ogero have already mentioned their new prices but other ISPs are usually more expensive so we can't use Ogero as a benchmark.

Also IDM are now charging 10% extra for online payments. The only way to find that out is at the last step of payment. Couldn't they at least state that more clearly?!!
yourlocalfbiagent wroteDo you know if the 10% also applies to bank domiciliation payyments?
No idea

Not sure if this post should be under "Feedback for 4G LTE".
Anyway, just wanted to check if there's a problem currently with Alfa and/or MTC in Lebanon? I'm in Canada and I have relatives in Lebanon with whom I chat on Whatsapp.

IDM suffers from packet loss during peak times, especially on weekends, so it could be on their end and not the resellers. I notice it because I play online games. I would get internet from them directly, if it gets bad you can call them and they eventually fix it. (But be sure it will happen again lol)

Hey everyone,
I’ve been dealing with an annoying issue lately and wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has advice.

My phone line keeps disconnecting, and I’ve had to replace the DSL splitter multiple times. Each one works for a few days, then either stops working completely or the connection gets unstable again. It’s starting to get both frustrating and expensive.

What’s weird is that sometimes the internet starts working again only after I call the landline from my mobile, like something gets reset in the system. The exact same issue happened on my second phone line too, which makes me suspect there's a voltage or power stability problem coming from the Ogero box itself.

Has anyone faced something like this? Could it be a faulty Ogero box or something with the external line? How can i get them to fix this issue?
