The Ogero monopoly has never been a healthy aspect of our telecom sector and information technology industry. It stifled innovation and growth, and brought us down from leaders in the region, in the mid and late 90's, down to the worse ranks globally. The monopoly needs to end whether by law or defacto through the actions of the private sector.
Government controlled electric & water utility has already brought us back to the dark ages. And now the same is happening in telecom. Lack of electricity can be dealt with at the small business and individual level, but telecom is more complex and costly. Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper... will not be a replacement for stable wired connectivity any time soon.
IT services businesses and free lancers that can help restore our economy by bringing in foreign projects and money are at constant risk with Ogero's monopoly in place and connectivity in the hands of a few corrupt politically motivated workers' union leaders.
Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper... will not be a replacement for stable wired connectivity any time soon.
I can tell you - worse, they are strictly forbidden and there is heavy fines for using them.
Hello, Ogero is not working in dawhet aramoun area. No landlines and no internet. Anyone from that area can confirm that? Thank you

Same here in Bchamoun Madaress, Ogero no landline and internet, and the same for Touch and Alfa no internet.
No landline and no internet in Mansourieh area either. ISP says it's a kahraba issue from the centrale (they won't turn it on). Anyone know an affordable replacement for DSL that doesn't shut off whenever they feel like it?
nuclearcat wrote Another thing, Ogero is critical public utility + monopoly. At one side working in such government enterprise has very big benefits for employee, but some days like now - it comes as big disadvantage.
Because in many countries, critical public utility(telecom, fire department, government medical workers, police) + govt monopolies by laws are not allowed to strike and disrupt services, this is criminal act.They can submit resignation letter only.
Exactly! this shouldn't even be a lawful strike in the current situation everybody is suffering not just them, taking everyone hostage for is not lawful in any semi decent country like you mentioned. funny thing if I am not mistaken they will still get paid their salaries for this period no fs given which is also bs, but what would I expect

After receiving the modem from July, today on September 28 they came near the house and activated my service.

It's really a disappointing start after moving from a self-ISP.

Otherwise, it seems a good stabled internet connection.

Interesting. I’m subbed to the Ogero Unlimited OS Package, shows now it’s actually OS till 800 GB then it’s capped at 4 Mbps on the app.

What's going on with Ogero lately? It's been 10 days and the browsing is laggy AF... I need to use a VPN in order to browse without having to refresh the page couple of times...

Same here, and that's on fiber.

Does anyone have slow download problems with Ogero? This is my second day and the download speed barely hits 2mbps.
Upload and ping are not affected at all.
I tried two different modems and it's the same. I'm on VDSL Mazraa central.

I'm having the same issue, I asked them to upgrade me to VDSL, they kept me on ADSL2+ and the internet speed dropped to 0.5mbps.. I emailed them and contacted them, they're still looking into it, today the speed went up to 2mbps (no more jitter, and better ping). It is still ridiculous, but I'm still waiting for them to fix it.

Do not ignore it, their support is horrible, so you will have to contact them multiple times. Also check your landline number, is it down? mine is still down.

You should be within 1km to the centrale. Most probably you are farther than that.

Hello guys, just wanted to ask a few questions regarding Ogero. Do they suffer packet loss while gaming from 7pm - 11pm. How's the FUP on their unlimited packages? Also, do you guys recommend any specific ADSL package? (I'm too far for VDSL, speed syncs at up to 14mbit). I've been having horrible experiences with all private ISPs.

To be fair, most unlimited plans anywhere in the world are subject to FUP. Just out of curiosity though, why would you need more than 20GB bandwidth per day?

Big family and TikTok/yt/insta even though I was throttling their speed we exceeded the 400 gb last month

4 members in household, 1-2 constantly streaming video. Easily do 25GB+ per day.
