The above table was being shared yesterday as an April Fools’ joke. I have no idea whether it’s all fabricated or inspired from the 2020 plan announced by the MOT, but what’s sure is that we are still far from getting these speeds.
Few days ago, I asked people to share speedtest screenshots on Facebook and some of the speeds I got were deplorable. We are talking about 0.13, 0.47 and 0.12Mbps download DSL speeds here. The majority had speeds below 2Mbps while the highest speed I got was 4.69Mbps from a local cable provider in Achrafieh.
I’m glad that the internet topic is all over the news recently and as I stated previously, slow internet is as important as the garbage problem, whether you like to admit it or not, because technology has a huge impact on every country’s development and falling behind will cost us dearly in the future.
some isps give out fake results to create the image of a fast isp, they only fooling themselves.
they also use terms like “peak time” which comes 20 hours in a day.
Dear Lebanese people, switch from dsl to vdsl is a corrupt bullshit plan, they can easily and technically directly switch to to fiber optics!!!! Of which the minimum/entry levely speed would be 25 Mbps. Broadband ought to have NO CAPS. Abdel minem timse7 has some sort of intrest of not providing fast internet and the uprise movement shhould protest at his home. Boutrous Harb has no idea how to turn an ipod on, yet he is continiously protecting him.
The prices listed above are shitty for today’s standards, let alone for 2020’s standards.
Isn’t it sad that Lebanese are so deep in the mud, they cannot imagine a dream world without a bandwidth cap?
I agree with Kareem. Even for an April fools’ , it is overpriced.
