السعة ستزيد 100 ضعف بعد تمديد الألياف البصريّة الجديدة تخيّل سعة الإنترنت في متناولك أكبر بـ100 ضعف السعة الموجودة حالياً، وبسرعة لا تقارن مع الواقع القائم....

I personally don't want a house on the moon neither a fiber optic cable to my house,
Simply a 2 Mbps connection with about 16-20 GB quota per month will fit my needs.

EddieEC

Well I just want decent internet connection with a 20 GB quota

If the rumored new internet will make 512k, 4megabits/sec it completely sufficient for me.

Kassem

Yup, I have a 512k connection as well. If the speed increases to 4Mb/s and the quota limit jumps to around 20GB/month then that would be sufficient for me.

Flakk

4mb/s for 20gb ? nope. I want 100gigs or more or just remove the damn limits.

If it wasn't for that stupid 2.5 gig limit on my connection i wouldn't be nagging on the internet in the first place.

nuclearcat

Okay, let's say end-user connection they can't do.
I just want corporate grade datacenter connection for affordable price. $100/Mbit will be just more expensive than outside (outside it is vary between $1-$25-$80), but perfect price.
I will bring also it to myself by my own resources, not a big deal.
But now:
1)They sell 100 times higher price.
2)They sell only for "chosen".

Seriously who needs fast Internet connection with extremely low bandwidth limit, a speed of 4mbps shouldn't have limits on the quota, or at least a reasonable limit like 200GB a month for lets say 30/40 dollars...otherwise seriously 2.5gig a month??? what are we like in 1994?? Internet here is a mad joke

chosen2k

i want a 100mb/s for a terra limit.

The rumored new plan is going to update the 256kb/s to 2 mb/s with 120 GIG Quota.

If that's true then we can finally stream HD youtube videos instantly, actually that's what I've heard about the new quota something between 100-200 Gigs,but once again its all talk, i don't this this will ever happen, at least not in this century..

Kassem

120 gb limit? you guys are dreaming!

kareem_nasser

I have said this before but i really have a good feeling about this i don't know why(or maybe not).

MegaCool

who cares if its in 2011??? thats like a year before the end of the world... let us taste the beauty of fast internet access atleast 2 years before the end :D

funny... :)

EddieEC

The updates will come soon, I have a feeling it will. I read in Le commerce, that Charbel Nahas said that the quota for the 2mbps plan (currently 256kbps) will be 120 gigs.

bigjudge

The speed might go up; However, I am very skeptic about the limit. You all know that the ministry of communication is a cash cow for the governement (the minister himeself admitted on "kalam el nass" a couple of weeks ago. If i have a gold mine that makes about 16 billion dollar a year profit, why should i get rid of it. We all pay top dollars for those extra gigs, i believe the limit will stay the same, if not worse, the price of the extra gigs might come down a dollar or two.

I Hope that i am wrong, anything is possible in Lebanon.
