ADSL Report: My Central is Bir Hasan and ISP is IDM. All i
did was monitor my connection quality over the past week.
First my original connection plan is the 512k which should
become 2M Plan from IDM but didnt, yet. My current speeds are 1 Mbps downloads
and 256 Kbps upload. Latency to Most European servers is nothing more than
120ms maximum, in the United States it depends on the State if it is on the
Eastern Seaboard(better) or not(worse). Note that sometimes when testing the
inner States the latency is ~200ms.
Now the headaches, outages.....packet losses and other
"BS".
The periods which I experience bad internet quality are
usually from 2pm till 4pm and 10pm till 12:30am. During those times browsing is
a real pain when you experience packets losses AND latency back to the regular
450ms i used to experiences before the 1st of October "upgrades". On
top of all of this the download speed ONLY becomes 512 Kbps.
In Conclusion let’s forget about the political problems and
technical problems in this whole Internet Revolution in this country, and only
focus on "What am i getting after i pay my monthly fee for the
Private/Public Owned ISP?". I can say there is a "game" in all
of this, all telecom ministers did a great job so that we can reach this point
from a war plagued country. But you cant keep this "revolution" if
all the لجنة الاتصالات which is usually
appointed by the Parliament, is filled with "politicians" who dont
even know what 3G or ADSL is. What i mean is, not to appoint engineers
only.....no but at least people who are technologists, technology
enthusiasts......
You may like or dislike what i posted but i am expressing my
opinion about the current situation, please do the same by commenting to my
post.
"Note to political loyalists: Please refrain from
defending or attacking my post just because it supports/attacks your political
party's opinion about the Telecom situation or decisions taken by the current
government."
