FuSe, 10GBits/second isn't much to be honest at Mbits/second. Users will eat it quickly if you give them unlimited. No constrains => people can download 24/7 => networks get congested again.

hmm I see, thanks for the reply hussam, and yeah can we confirm the latency improvement?

http://imewecable.com/ says we'll be connected directly to Europe so my guess would be we'll get a much more stable connection to European game servers which should give better latency that the 700 to 2000ms we now get from satellite connections.

i was pinging bbc.co.uk at exactly 99ms min and 105ms max

this was ever since they first started IMEWE a month or 2 back now (

and now these days its back to the old 145ms

so whatever they are doing its not working/ didn't work, and made things go back to the way it was.

can you confirm your source ?

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

What's the best DSL modem I can buy that works with Ogero?
My thomson sucks, I'm thinking to get the modem and the router separately.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Quick question. I have a 512kbps internet. Will it automatically update to the new 4Mbps package come October or will I have to ask my provider for that package?

That's what nobody knows... i have a 512kbps package too, and i want the 1mbps 4gb quota....
Will everyone be upgraded to the 1mbps and then whomever wants to upgrade will do so upon request ? or will the 128 and 256 automatically go the 1mbps , and the 512 to 2mbps etc ... ?

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

all packages <= 1 mbps will become the lowest package automatically, once you want more, you should contact your ISP.

Is that reliable information ? Are you absolutely sure or are you just logically assuming ?

The logic says that they should upgrade your speed automatically while keeping or reducing its cost because they are forcing you to change.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

What's the quota for 3mbs?
I hope they will not f*ck up adsl again this time with ridiculous limits, deja they didn't upgrade as promised to 21mbs (France is now at 100mbs)

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

what I still find surprising is that no one has showed any unlimited plans, I'd prefer having a 2mbps unlimited connection rather than a 8 mbps limited connection.

They will probably come in time, first the ISP's need to buy as many E1's and get them into operation as they can.  They can only do that starting next month when the prices drop over 80% over what they are now.  After that, they can determine how much excess capacity they have and then determine if they can offer unlimited/quota free plans.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

With these new packages, are we gonna still have the Fair Usage policy. And if it applies, then we'll have our speed cut in half?

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

I called Terranet earlier today:

- No details on prices or packages other than: "I can tell you the ogero pricing and ours will definitely be lower".
- New packages wont take effect until November. [Apparently even though it has been voted on it hasn't been published in the official government paper yet, and they have a month after that to implement...]

I called IDM's support (as an example of a private ISP) their answer was, If I had 512 kbps connection then it will be automatically 2mbps (not 4mbps), If you had 1 mbps it will be 4 mbps etc.... Regarding the internet speed connection changes ( increase in speed) it will be on 1 / October / 2011 for all IDM customer's.

Re: Internet in Lebanon - General Questions

Will all ISP ( terranet ) also have this package of 512kb/s to 4mbs included or do I have to switch to OGERO?
