Re: It has begun

Will these new speeds help us play online games better? And which connection that will allow for smooth gaming?

It depends on what you're looking for, and which kind of servers you're gonna be playing on.
1) The more the game is a massive multi-player one, you'll need to get higher speed, or the more the servers contains player. Like 1Mbps will be enough for 16 players server, but surely unplayable with 64 players.
2) If the servers you're gonna be plying on are "P2P", you need a rocket speed internet when playing with 20 players. While if the server is dedicated, 1Mbps should be more than enough.

I guess 4Mbps will be a descent speed to play like an extreme gamer. But not when your ping is still above 200ms!!!! No matter on what speed you'll get, 200ms ping will make the game lagy and unplayable.

Just try to keep yourself alive for about 3 years, until we get FTTH, and then go wild on the internet. Can you do that!! ;-)

Yea i figured that, but when there is a will there is a way ;).

Am not waiting for battlefield 5 or COD 10 or whatever online game to play . We will see soon enough though.

There's something wrong, they missed the 1mbps 10gig package and the 2mbps should be 20gigs
Strange!!!

Re: It has begun

IDM, my account got upgraded to 2 mbps with 10 gb quota !! but i currently have 20 gb quota and 17 gb left, i think they added your old upload quota and download quota to the new package.

Currently the speed is 1 mbps, but they said it will become better in the next 3 days max.

You can check the new plans on their websites. Only 3 plans available but if u call them, they will make an account with 20 gb for the 2 mbps package with 10$ more !! 2 mbps 10 gb quota costs 35$ (without vat).

oh ans i juat got a message that my account got upgraded.

Re: It has begun

I think all IDM users  are now suscribed to the new plan and got their cap upgraded but they still have the old speed, it hasn't been upgraded yet, they are working on it.

Any idea if we can get from IDM a package of 1mbps with a cap of 10gb(not a 5Gb) and how much will the price be?

I also got 11 gb quota, no idea why.

Btw there's no news about unlimited download at night from 11:00 PM tll 7:00 AM. They said it wil stay but it's not shown at the account management panel.

Re: It has begun

To the guys who started facing the change in the speed, kindly provide us with your Central Office name!

Regarding Mobi, or Pesco Telecom(wise, wirelessbits) it is not yet upgraded, the change in the speeds are only for ADSL connections.

Mobi as per www.lynx.net.lb mentioned that in mid of October there will be a new set of plans available.

Re: It has begun

The only good thing with Cyberia right now is that the download quota is already upgraded to 20gb, no upgraded speed though...
