DSL in Egypt in International Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r12963062 en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:11:29 EDT Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:11:29 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22707643 Saladin : Hi, i`m so glad to find this threat but was better to keep it up to date weekly or so, anyway i was suffering of link.Net LIES after the last january 2009 cable cuts, the ping is always higly variable which indicates every latency application will be terrible (i`m a WOW player LONG ago)

so they kpet LYING when i speak to them as usual trying to tell me that "Oh sir everything is ok, are you halucinating Sir? "
WOW was unplayabale (same goes with browsing which was heavy)

anyway i left that line for my niegbour and i got NTRA fixed my "pair Gun" line!!!

and subscribed with vodafone blindly, i liked the 7 Gb for P2P limit idea since it indicates they r a MATURE company and the bandwidth will be Evenly distributed to customers

but after subscribing 6 weeks ago and i`m seeing NIGHTMARES (compared to Link.net)

the 1 Mbps in miami central /Alexandria is :
MAXIMUM 70 k Downlaod speed , and may drop to 20 kbps in peak hours!!!

Wow is Tottaly unplayable in parties ( i instanly get disonnected)
The Only good point is that they were FRANK not LIERS unlike Link.net they all told me that Around 15/7 they have a "Global link Upgrade" and they seemed to have that as an issue accross egypt

but through the time internet worsened so i kept calling them !! they subscribe more users while the capcacity is already overloaded (or having problems)
so i was surprised wehn 2 calls to customer support they informed me that ALSO my telephone Exchange (sidi bishr 2 aka miami) is having problems and needs upgrade and they are waiting for TE allowance to upgrade which might take long time

so i`m waiting for tommorow and hoping that the GlobalLink upgrade fixes my connection as its realy the worst service i have seen long ago.

-MobiniL : Listen carefully to this, In there Ads they say: you MAY have a speed up to 7.2Mbps, i get a max. of 1Mbps for this, that's about 120kb/s download speed and not all the time (sometimes it reaches 10kb/s)and have some down time IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
Note that they take their internet from Link Egypt as i found out by looking up my IP.

-Etisalat : i tried the 385kbps package for a while it seemed pretty good, even better than Tedata - which i tried at my old home - and the connection speed was good all the time giving me about 47kb/s download speed, and a nice ping 200ms to Europe, i haven't tried the higher package which is also 7.2Mbps for about 300EGP and limited to 6 G.B. -lol they say unlimited- but i guess it would be fine.
Note that etisalat is an independent ISP unlike MobiniL.

Oh, i made this site »www.egyptisp.blogspot.com While i was in my misery trying to get a good isp in the last vacation - i spent it without internet :( -
i am trying to make an isp statistics to help people know the best isp they can deal with.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22087806 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:21:27 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22071700 Samba77 : Hey guys, I live in Egypt, Rehab to be specific, and I recently canceled my subscription to link.net and received my cancelation number. Now I want to sign up with a good ISP but I can’t make up my mind specifically after reading this thread, obviously they are all crooks in our eyes. Can you please help me decide where to go(best crook)?

I’m looking forward to get the speed I pay for with a reasonable ping, I know I can’t get good ping in Egypt so ill settle with “reasonable”.

I also am looking for an isp which is currently stable (an isp that managed to pull itself together after the cables were cut and fully recovered also no purchasing banwidth from other isp’s and swiching sea-cables crap or other tricks). I mainly use my line for: work, online gaming and sometimes torrents.

I know it’s not a big pool of isp’s to choose from: tedata, link, egynet, nileonline, raya etc…(Vodafone still doesn’t support rehab) so can someone please give me updated information about his isp’s DL speed, ping, quality etc … and if there is currently any tricks inorder to avoid that isp? (other than link )

also is nile-online still on tedata’s bandwidth to this date? Did it degrade in quality after etisalat acquired it?is it still worth the extra money it charges?

If you live in Rehab or close would be a plus.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22071700 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 10:42:19 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21738265 anon : I had tried T.data in some other services, but I am not happy at all with the service they provided , they already cheat, and decive me, I do not recommand then to anyone ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21738265 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:16:56 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21688331 BJinEgypt : So SMW4 looks like it has been repaired and TEData have switched back to seabone.

However, the latencies are bad.. better than the last two and a half weeks obviously but about 3x what they were before the outage.

Dear Msakr,
If the issue is the international link, NTRA has nothing to do, that's out of the ISP hands.

would someone who has a problem with TEData post a trace snapshot, I just want to know where the delay happens (since my line works perfectly as posted before). Just a minor issue, I used to peak at 56 KB, now about 53 (512 Kbps)

Insane high time for the seabone link. Funny thing is friends I know have a 90ms response time from the seabone link.

Was looking for one for quite a long time.

In response to MSakr, I have the exact same issue. I have the Vodafone ADSL 2MB package. And around the end of November internet became really crappy. I also play World of Warcraft and the latency now is insane. Used to be 200-300, now its 800 minimum. Average is 1.2 - 1.6k

I also contacted vodafone when I was fed up (didn't want to contact them coz i knew they'll do nothing), and they told me the same thing after alot of arguing. International problem with flagtel and they're using backup links. And ofcourse no expected date when this will be over.

I've been searching all over the internet (thats when i came accross this forum) for any clues about this issue, but no luck. My friends on Link & TEData tell me that they have no problem with WoW which is very wierd.

Anyway if anyone finds any source to this problem about flagtel thanks to post it here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21583296 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:29:14 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21579039 anon : Shall we call those NTRA ( National Telecom Regulatory Authority ) on 155 or they won't do a crap :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21579039 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 09:50:43 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21578983 anon : My guess is as good as yours.

I'm on a 4Mbps ADSL2+ line from TeData. I have the EXACT same issue you are describing from around end of November till now. TeData are clueless to what the problem is, and now are telling me to change the telephone line.

My take on the issue is one of the following

- There is actually an issue with the marine cable linking Egypt to France, and so during peak times the bandwidth and ping times are atrocious.

- ISPs are now bandwidth throttling.

I'm more inclined to the first option now, and hope it is solved quickly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21564192 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:34:05 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21557682 anon : Hello all, and happy Feast

I've been a TeData client since 2005 and due to my permanent move between cities in Egypt, I have 3 TeData accounts in 3 different cities. And let me say that there are huge differences between the three accounts in terms of DSL installation, support and performance.

The best experience for me was in Cairo, where I got 100 KB downloads rate for my 1 Mbit DSL and that is fair enough although that should be around 120 KB. And I had that DSL line installed in less than 10 days as promised. My account was not a direct account with TeData but it was through a supplier named Arkan and they are really good and flexible.

My second account is in Alexandria and that is a direct account with TeData and the performance was ok but not as good as the DSL line in Cairo as the lag was a bit more when playing online games. And Tedata themselves are not that fixable like the suppliers.

My third and worst account is in Ismailia, and it's through the worst ever supplier, named Hallal or Helal. I had the DSL installed after 2 months and they kept on giving excuses which are really stupid, like for example they told me that the Telephone Station has no enough DSL lines.. I replied, so why are you accepting subscriptions if this is the case??
At last I knew why they are doing so from a friend who has knowledge about the situation and he told me that such suppliers take the money from the clients and invest them in banks for two months before they install the DSL!!!

Anyway, I had the DSL installed after a lot of struggling with them and after installation of my 2 Mbit DSL, my DSL performance is 600 Kbit only which really sucks.. I really don't understand how that can happen but seems that I have a new struggle with the Hallal suckers]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21525107 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:03:22 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21505013 Alaa2 : alright guys,.. back to the point,i am using TEData isp here and i gotta say they are quite good BUT lately they are just being noobs meaning that their support team doesnt seem to know what they are actually doing,the story is i have been using tedata for a long while now,but at the moment the quality of the internet is decreasing meaning that YES am getting full speed (upload and download) but the issue for me here is with (PING) or (latency) ping is basically the diffrence in time between which when u send the request to the server for the information or data and the time of recieving it,which is also could mean the speed of the internet itself,so for example if u requested a spicific website u would type the address and then hit enter,so what u r doing is telling the server that u want this site to show to u and the timming between the moment u hit enter and the time u receive this site is the PING,so it really really annoying when comes to online gaming specially for FPS games or first person shooter games like counter strike,left 4 dead,... and the games that requires as low ping as possible in order to get fun outta the game,a ping of 100 ms is considered to be high for ppl in UK and other countries that ppl have low ping on the servers,but 100 ms ping is not too bad,if u shot a guy in game he will die almost instantly,but its a huge issue when the ping is over 150MS,in that case u wont be able to play for 2 main reasons,1)coz most of the servers of any FPS games have a limit of 150 ms ping so they will simply kick u outta the server and tell u fix your ping,2)u wont be able to play as over 150ms LAG is generated and u wont be able (ppl who play FPS games would sure know what am exactly talking about) anyway,receantly TEdata for some reason is having these pings too high,i dunno the reason but am getting an average of 250+ ms here,... it used to be 100 ms which is cool but now its not cool at all,i contact the support team more the once b4 and they were able to resolve the ping problem,but now am asking then to fix it but the last conversation didnt go quite well,i even asked for more experienced engineers to talk to so that they would know wth am talking am about but the response i got is that they cant fix a "PING" issue,so now am just looking for the best ISP in egypt,actually I thought TEData is the best,but they r not showing me one bit of that by not helping me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21505013 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 15:41:58 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21195590 DaHiA : Nile online has a new price list starting from Aug. 1st 2008

a week ago I did a trace from Hurghada through NOL and I saw the same result, they are using TE-Data for international BW! I mean they can buy capacity, it happens all the time but not completely rely on another competitor!
NOL is re-selling TEData services with an extra 19-40% fees
Example:: TEdata users having 2Mbps with an unlimited bandwidth plan, pay EGP 380/month
While, I'm a NOL user having the same 2Mbps coming from the *same* source/provider, but i pay EGP 530/month
This is an Extra EGP 150 per month = Excess 1800EGP yearly which is *TOO* much in addition to be completely unfair and opposes customer protection/telecom regulation.
I reported that action to NTRA and here is their response directly from call-center head

Dear Sir,
In response to your inquiries below, please be informed of the following,
1. The ADSL service with speed 256 KB is the only price regulated service. This means that NTRA can only control the prices of this speed, whereas higher speeds' pricing are left to market dynamics.
2. Regarding the NOL line case of reselling the ADSL service, the actual case is not that of service reselling. The case is that NOL faced issues with the international bandwidth provider that resulted in international bandwidth disruption for NOL. At the time T.E. Data had some free international bandwidth, and so NOL decided to rent that bandwidth from T.E. Data. NOL's action was out of its concern for its consumers who should be transparent to any dispute between NOL and its international bandwidth provider. The aim of the action was to continue offering the consumers uninterrupted ADSL service. Because the international bandwidth that NOL was using belongs initially to T.E. Data, your Traceroute showed the IP addresses assigned to T.E. Data. This does not mean that NOL is reselling the ADSL service on behalf of T.E. Data.

Hope this answers your questions. In case you want those answers in a formal letter, please write them down in a letter addressed to
ÏßÊæÑ/ÚãÑæ ÈÏæì – ÇáÑÆíÓ ÇáÊäÝíÐì ááÌåÇÒ ÇáÞæãì áÊäÙíã ÇáÅÊÕÇáÇÊ

I had recently contacted NTRA for an inquiry regarding my ISP price list.
All feedbacks would be appreciated.

said by Myself to NTRA head :

Dear Ma'am,

This is "****** *****"; one of the loyal ADSL customers of Nile online-NOL, a class-A local ISP

Regarding phone conversation early this mourning with Miss Sahar, Here is a complete illustration about the mentioned issue with NOL unlimited bandwidth ADSL services:
-Till August 2007, NOL had an international dedicated bandwidth pipeline(s) coming directly from Flag telecom

-Starting from mid September 2007, there had been a downtime for a couple of days followed by a change in the routing to get TEdata bandwidth pipe involved in the entry point to Egypt distributing to all NOL ADSL -and even leased line- users.

-During ICT Cairo on Feb. 24th 2008, TEdata had deducted its *unlimited bandwidth* service fees to a new -lower- values for all its ADSL customers
»www.tedata.net/new/tedata_egypt/···SecId=62

-During March 2008, There has been a successful fully acquisition of NOL by Etisalat Misr and later on, NOL has got a dedicated international bandwidth pipeline from Flag telecom for their leased line customers *only*!

-NOL ADSL price list is only available at »www.adsl-egypt.com/services_prices.php -but it was not updated -on web- since July 2007!!!-
Current price list: -updated-
256Kbps = EGP 95/month
512Kbps = EGP 165/month
1024Kbps = EGP 290/month
2048Kbps = EGP 530/month

-From Feb. till this moment, NOL kept TEdata as a provider for its ADSL bandwidth, Yet had not deduct a penny from its service fees
ie: NOL is re-selling TEData services with an extra 19-40% fees
Example:: TEdata users having 2Mbps with an unlimited bandwidth plan, pay EGP 380/month
While, I'm a NOL user having the same 2Mbps coming from the *same* source/provider, but i pay EGP 530/month
This is an Extra EGP 150 per month = Excess 1800EGP yearly which is *TOO* much in addition to be completely unfair and opposes customer protection/telecom regulation.

Meanwhile,
I have carefully double checked CPA laws »www.cpa.gov.eg/legislations_rules.htm and i would suggest that NOL behaviour is illegal and violates Telecom regulation rules in 2 specifc points:

* Re-selling a service *must* be in a corresponding price similar to -or less than- the main provider price list, but not with any extra fees
* Any ISP re-sells services from another local ISP should be considered class-B or C ISP -but NOT Class-A-

And my inquiry is,

1. Does TRA rules allow a class-A ISP -like NOL- to have the right to re-sell services from another local class-A ISP competitor -like TEdata-?
2. Should NOL go down to class-B ISP being re-selling TEdata services and deprived from dedicated international bandwidth -at least for their ADSL users-?
3. Does TRA have the authority enforcing NOL to update their unfair price list to be exact as their provider TEdata price list?
4. Should i call NOL for a refund for the extra fees during period started from TEdata new prices on Feb. 2008 till now -in a form of balance credit-?

the new ADSL2+ being introduced in Egypt probably required network upgrades and this is why speed had to drop to 25 or lower than normal, its not in EVERY central maybe MAADI had the problem today then fixed and ZAMALEK tomorrow has the problem.....you know upgrades never go smooth.

is your speed fine now?

and plz stop bashing the dsl vs cable, dsl is better it may be limited by distance but it isn't SHARED like Cable where everyone is eating each other bandwidth, Adsl got a Contention ratio thats true but it almost NEVER kicks in unless every single user is downloading at max speed.

i'd rather have ADSL, i have lived 3 years in USA and 2 years in Italy and i've been happy with ADSL anyway, Cable may be cheaper and probably easier to get wherever you are but if everyone in the neighbourhood logs the bandwidth will suffer unlike ADSL.

finally got it to 2mbits worked great had d/l speed of about 250-270 kps for three whole days! dropped to about 25kps since then called tech support, 1000 times wrote nasty emails, still not budged, they are liers big time. I called them once they said "oh great I'm glad you called it will be fixed tomorrow thank you for calling." lies
called again "oh you need a service call, its your line
150 LE later and new telephone line and also new adsl splitter
no change! big surprise so as far as tedata goes they suck! i am moving, thank god, thank god, thank god... back to America where you get what you pay for, and if you don't you sue the bastards.. by the way i will have a petition going in maadi "in the cyber cafe next to the maadi sakanat metro station, next to lucilles burgers" for signing i need at least 5000 signatures to make a court case against them which i plan for July or August even if they only fix the 5000 signatures lines it would help... I'll only be here until Christmas 2008 so need others to join in this with me to keep it going because if you live in Egypt you know how shit gets done here "slow" if at all .. adsl sucks anyway cable rules. wish i had swarez's money I'd cripple tedata and link and start my own cheap internet service...That functioned. the problem really is there needs to be another phone carrier in Cairo to make competition like the mobile phones...period

this has increased the pings slightly by 30ms for europe, USA is better though average was 250 now 210-220ms.

i can show you how so you can understand...

go here : »www.mclink.it/cgi-bin/trace.pl

you will see your ip, click it and you will see the RETURN PATH, means the route that goes from the internet to YOU, the last ip you see is the one that give you the final ping...

eg. if the last ip is 75ms then your ping will be 75-80, if the final ip is 150ms it will be 150-160ms. and so on.

this is a very good diagnostic to understand if the problem is your central or Tedata network....

example : say your return path is FLAGTEL, flagtel average in egypt is 75 to 90ms (the site i gave is in Italy - europe), so if you test your ip and see that the return path final ip is above 90ms say 120-150ms then it is TEDATA network problem, if the return path is 75 to 90ms then it is your central because the return path average is normal.

i dunno if TEDATA is gonna fall after they gave people the ability to download 150 GB per month !!

i called Tech Support and as usual they said everything is going ok and no problems ! ........... what liars !!!
they were probably upgrading or updating things in various centrals and there was a down time, a month ago i had like 50% packet loss websites would hang at half-page and wont load had to re-click to make them work but that was fixed 2 weeks later (tried various DNS and didnt make a different).

then the 21st i had AUTHENTICATION FAILURE and when i called they said there is a GLOBAL PROBLEM and would resolve in 2 hours .. took 4 hours instead then when i managed to LOG and take an IP speed was 30kb down/ 30 kb up steady, i knew it wasn't throttling because when i went to an egyptian site to try downloading something speed was 400kb/s (4mb) anything international was 30 so i disconnected and waited 3 more hours and when i logged in everything was fixed....tried disconnect/reconnect a few more times and no problem.

so TEDATA was doing something at the centrals in CAIRO...maybe upgrading to ADSL2+ adding support for the protocol and testing the 150GB limit etc.

no big deal.....AS LONG AS THEY DON'T LIE.

this is the first one ,the other problem that i have seen the official site of tedata after just introduction of adsl2+ and the fair use policy was aleadry there but only for adsl2+ speeds not adsl ,after about 5-8 days i checked the site again and it was over all adsl speeds .

link dot net is the 1st company talked about FUP but their offers are better than TeData (i am not talking about the performance but the prices and the item that if i exceeded my quoto my bandwidith will be reduced to 256Kbps not 64Kbps )

for once in Egypt someone took the right choice which doesnt happend a lot.

so thank god for Fair Usage Policy. :D

WOW ADDICT, if you play games all day the 150GB is more than enough you wont use more than 30-35GB at most even if you download lots of MAPS such as in UT2004/UT2007/BF2 etc, also games use your Upload speed more than Down speed when playing to send really small packets like 10 to 50kbytes or the equivalent of a JPG image lol hardly enough to use a lot of quota.

the pings getting lower with higher speed is true, i went from 1mb to 4mb and same happened.

about the UNLIMITED/LIMITED issue, people shouldn't ABUSE the network, when you download you are really screwing up bandwidth, immagine you and other 1000 people downloading all the time, this is why speed becomes crap.

with this 150GB Fair Use at last there is a limit and people with higher speed won't abuse as much, higher speed is not the issue, if you download a 700MB at 100kb/s or 1MB/s it is still 700MB! it's not because you got faster connection = quota used faster, a website that use 500KB will use 500KB on any connection speed, that's it.

anyway i recommend nobody complain to any ISP, if you do they might do the contrary and make it instead of 150GB to 60GB or less.

in SOUTH AFRICA adsl cost 200 times as much and give you 1mb speed with 3GB per month.

150GB while not really Unlimited, it's still very FAIR!

perhaps someday they'll do like other countries and give 50GB during the day and 200GB at night or so, that would be also good, meaning during the day people won't abuse the speed which is when everyone want to surf and watch Youtube, send emails etc...and at night people will download without bothering anyone.

bandwidth is expensive and people who download 24/7 is not right and you ruin it for everyone.

if you dont abuse your connection, you wont even know the 150GB QUOTA is there.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20339884 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:27:53 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20339029 habib2005 : may be i am wrong as you say , but here is the truth about ping time and increased bandwidith.

i think everyone do, the only difference is that TEDATA made it clear that you dont need to go over 150GB a month (that's a very big quota btw so don't complain!).

check out this PDF file for more info

»www.tedata.net/new/MultiMedia/PD···licy.pdf

anyway, this quota 100-150GB is great and bad, great because this way people wont abuse the bandwidth and so most people after finishing what they were doing will DISCONNECT from the net and free bandwidth and make pings better...

the BAD thing, is that even with monitoring programs what you see on your PC is not what you really used...

if your monitoring program such as DUMETER say you downloaded and uploaded a total of 50GB in reality you downloaded 60GB, this is because any wasted byte is counted, if someone is Port-Scanning you he is wasting some kilobytes and it will add on your Quota, if you try to BROWSE a website and the site don't open you will retry, this RETRY will add to your quota because you are RESENDING data..may be 1KB maybe 1MB....

the best thing to do to really manage your quota is that once you are done with the Internet go into the router and Disconnect manually or even better turn off the router, that way nothing additional will be added to the quota.

i did a TEST.... i have been web browsing, downloading and uploading movies from 700mb to 1.4GB, watching videos on youtube, and many things and in 1 month i barely reached 50GB so don't worry.

think about it...

you got 150GB quota.......if you download a movie of 1.4GB per day, in 30 days you only used 42GB!...this means you still got more than 100GB left to download more things or play or whatever.

so RELAX and don't worry.

if any ISP would give you 20GB per month i would've cancelled immediatly my subscription and gone 56k Dialup, but since they give you a generous 150GB, i can't complain that's MORE THAN ENOUGH. it's perfect and better, service truly will improve i guarantee it.

if they make a page you can check your realtime quota would be even better but it's ok. all is fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20309602 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 17:24:43 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20295153 mohamed9x : may be you are wrong !

iv'e seen improved ping times after upgrading speed :)

i dunno why but may be higher speeds make the requests done faster

but im sure that the ping time on the same phone line is getting better when you go to 2 mb from 512 k for example .

another notice :

some routers can give better ping times than others

im using Dlink G664t its not designed to work in Egypt because its working as ANNEX B ... while supported ADSL in EGYPT is ANNEX A
but i've modified the router by changing firmware to DLINK G 624t and the router worked great on ANNEX A in EGYPT .... the when changing some settings in the router page i've seen improved ping times most of the day .

so if you download 100GB in 30 days, your quota will show 110-120gb because of 20GB wasted on TCP retried, retransmissions, port scans, junk data.

play online all day and you will add at least 1 or 2GB a day already.

the question is......do we really have 100-150gb? can we trust TEDATA or ISPs?

they need to create a page where you can log with your username and pass and see your total usage just like the ISP sees it.

but in general FAIR USAGE will improve things, i just hope they dont go and lower the 100gb to 60 then 30 etc.....

Anyways, I hope that ppl understand thet the size and weight of TE Data and Telecom Egypt is the only reason you had an Internet blackout for a mere 48 hours for most users (some ppl did not have that drop.

It had been almost a month with no problems and since a week now latency after 20;00 pm increases by 150-200 ms.Again. Despite that, the tech support people dont see anything wrong with that, and think that if the download speed is fine then everything is ok. Unless tedata starts managing its bandwidth and understands what a congestion is, its not gonna be working in the future.

i have TEDATA & NILE because i got 2 phone lines, im posting from my TEDATA now and it sucks!!!!!!!!!

NileOnline right now = 70ms to bbc.co.uk
Tedata right now = 190ms

forget it, they wont fix it, your internet speed i bet is also slower you dont achieve your top speed constant like before between 7 and 2 AM right?

go with NOL, you wont find any of this shit. it's GREAT!

pings, speed and support/people, NOL can connect you to their network in 3 days! when i cancelled my RAYA and gave NOL my code 3 days later someone called me and told me i'm ready to configure and use my account at NOL!

On saturday pings were pretty much ok and after reading your post habib i thought that the problem was actually fixed, so i didnt procceed with the cancelling stuff, but its monday now and i still get same crap, tho it may vary on the times,(for example it might be from 8 to 2, not 6), from 150ms ingame(best thing you can get in egypt) it goes to 400+ in just a minute. I really dunno what to do since everyday i'm worried if they actually fix the prob and would be a waste to switch isp with 150ms. Is your connection ok so far?

NILEONLINE is fantastic and constant, im getting 60-70ms to europe 24/7 never seen anything like the 7 o clock problem you mention....HOWEVER, my Tedata connection at 7 oclock does exactly the same but worse, ping for Tedata goes from average 100ms to Google.co.uk it becomes 250! ....around 11 PM it fixes itself until the next day at 7 o clock it starts again the problem.

trust me, subscribe with NILEONLINE and ask for MR. MAHMOUD OMRAN. you will never regret it.

best people, best support and best service.

the support answers immediatly there is no music or waiting like LINK, TEDATA or RAYA, and they will talk to you very kindly and help anyway they can.

A 256/64 connection is more than enough for VoIP. This of course if you GET this speed. With my EgyNet, sometimes i have not even dial-up like. Test your speed at different times, and watch also, if there are any breaks while you are downloading.

I got a packet8 VoIP service. I can make calls in clear voice but it disconnects after less than 30 seconds. I have an ADSL connection with TEdata 256/64. Is the speed is the reason? What is the appropriate speed I should subscribe to? Assuming I use the ADSL connection only for the VoIP, do the limited plans help (e.g. 512Kbps with maximum of 6 GB per month).

I contacted the technical support of packet8 and they told me to ping their server and the RTT should not exceed average of 100ms. I got about 250 ms. They told that the difference between max & min should be less than 30 ms. I got some packets with 900 ms RTT. Does the upgrade shall solve these issues?

for any ADSL company to provide good ADSL quality and good download rates 24/7 this requires money and efforts ... so what do you think if those companies don't get paid for what they offer + they earn money
Dear

One example for you: The prices in Switzerland. You know, a very expensive country. We have 7 millons of people and ~ 1 million ADSL connections.

You can get a 3500k line for 120 L.E, some companies offer even 10`000k line for this price. So what? Pure egyptian ADSL companies? Don`t earn something? Please remember that the cost for a company in Switzerland are at least 10 times like in egypt. And be sure, they still make money. A lot!

I write this just because of your frase "stop being idiots please". It is not be an idiot to want a fair price and a nice service.

I am happen to be a victim of Link as well , to be honest , I am with them since like 3 years ago or 2 .. but things were different especially with latency .. I used to game on-line on British servers getting 70-100 ms which is very good , now it jumps to 400s and so .

But let me put down one fact about Egyptian ADSL speeds
this is almost standard for all ISPS :

256kBit connection > actual download speed > 28 - 32 Kb/sec
512kBit > 58 - 64 kB/sec
1024KBit > 95 - 115 Kb/sec
2049Kbit > 180 - 210 Kb/sec

I tried all these speeds so I know what I am talking about !
so Don't expect to get above these in any ISP here .

As for your cancellation request , you can fax it to them , check their fax numbers on their stupid website .

I wish I can move to something else , but I hear mixed views of everything ... and the problem is most of these views are coming from network/pc illiterate people .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19416881 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 02:47:03 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19407812 Divecenter : I have recently moved to Egypt (Dahab), opened a Divecenter here and was stupid enough to subscribe with LinkDSL. After having signed up online and made the payment with my credit card for a three month subscription (2MB-DSL) I waited...and waited...and waited...and waited - I had to wait 2 1/2 months for the DSL being activated. First, they said there was a problem with the phone bill, then they said they could not supply the hardware, then they said they could not find my paymend in their records - until about two weeks ago finally I got my hardware (the wrong one, though, because I had payed for WLAN and got cable). After calling several times to activare my line after that (various excuses as usual), it got activated one week ago. But, surprise, surprise, having paid for a 2 MB service, all I got was a lousy 80 to max. 200 Kbits/sec. My upload was usually better than the download speed, pings were between 400ms and eternity and all in all I was getting a little angry...
I called them several times and got the most moronic people on the phone. I probably have forgotten more about computers and networks than they will ever learn! They are lying and cheating people for money and give the most incompetent "service" I have ever known.
They for example told me, that I am on "shared lines" and have to expect the DSL to be slow. I just asked them, if I am also on "shared bills" and who is sharing my bill with me? I paid for 2MB and expect a speed that is at least somewhere in the area of that!

Now I want to cancel the service and have several questions, maybe one of you fellow victims of LinkDSL can answer:
Since I am living in Dahab, is there any other way to cancel than visiting one of the Cairo offices?
Will they automatically end the subscription after the tree months or try to charge my credit card again (they better not...!!!)?
Has anyone found a successfull way to make them improve the speed?

I threadened to get my lawyer on their asses, even if I have to pay him 10.000.- LE because this is a matter of principle. They seemed not very impressed...

Anyway, LinkDSL is a company of cheating, stealing and lying bastards and I strongly advise not even to think about signing up with them. I am thinking to switch to TEData. Anyone has any experience with them here in South Sinai?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

How private is dsl in Egypt? in other words...

Do ISPs keep a log of what IP did u have at what time?

So that people can track you down. In some countries the keep record for up2 25 years (treated as mobile or phone line), but keep it very confidential (court order to reveal it).

Ofcourse if the keep log in Egypt means that your info is available to almost any1.

So if some1 has an idea (mayb some1 who works in an isp) clarify that?

stop being idiots please ... askind for reducing prices more than this ... as prices are already reduced ..

what do you expect ?? .. free ADSL service ??

and quality = 0 ????

reducing prices more than this can make ADSL service in egypt Die and service quality will go underground ....

for any ADSL company to provide good ADSL quality and good download rates 24/7 this requires money and efforts ... so what do you think if those companies don't get paid for what they offer + they earn money .........

expect poor quality

Your ordeal with customer support fits very nicely with the pervasive culture that cuts pretty much thru. everything in that part of the world. It so sad, no doubt. Regardless of which isp you choose, you will be getting the same lousy service because simply the donot/cannot know any better.

The business model of those dsl/isp vendors is based and built on a big scam. simply once you sign up with one of them, they will take you phone line as a hostage and in order to switch ISPs they will have go thru. hell to get the so called "cancellation number". In case you stop payment and they cut off service, they WILL continue to bill you EVERY month until you submit a silly cancellation form and the funny part is that you have to pay all you bill while being disconnected in order you get your cancellation processed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19134851 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:26:25 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19123749 anon : i am currently using LinkDSL i see it's working good no pings Maximum download speeds i download 35KB/s on 256 thats maximum 30KB/s and most important it doesn't disconnect.

I was glad to find this website to share my experience with the fraud that is link.net

I can not imagine how your company could treat its customers any worse. So far I have "experienced" the following:

1- I have been given a non-working splitter that gave me a headache (and no internet service).
2- Instead of sending me a replacement splitter I was forced by your people into making a "visit" to your offices to make the switch.
3- Over at your offices. I discovered that you distribute two kinds of splitters; a pathetic china made cheap one that just doesn't work, and a much healthier looking better brand that has worked for me fine ever since. why was the cheap one given to me in the first place beats me (or actually I have my theory and its called penny pinching).
4- Due to these "technical difficulties" I was deprived of service for almost two weeks of my contract. Being the naive paying customer who expects to get his money's worth, I called your customer service who proceeded to tell me ever so politely that I shall NOT be receiving any compensation for my lost time even though the splitter problem was yours to begin with. I tried to reason with your employee but it was like talking to an answering machine since he kept repeating "You shall NOT be receiving any compensation for that time, sir" several times like a robot.

After that was over I though at least I have a functioning line that works great.(and to your credit it does work great when its not the seasonal lets destroy the nerves of our customer time) but then again I was WRONG.

5- Since signing my contract with your company (which I regret everyday) I have been asking for a simple payment method that just happens to work for me. I asked to pay every three months through a representative of yours that you send me (which is not something I thought up, it was one of the choices YOU provided me with) for some reason this simple choice is unacceptable to your company since every time I speak to your employees they want to charge me on a monthly basis. To me that just translates into three times the headache and nerve-wracking.

6- On July 17 a representative (Wael Mohamed Ibrahim) came to me asking for money which I didn't owe since my next payment was due on august 20. I tried to make it clear to him that I didn't owe anything until the 20 of next month. I even showed him my last payment receipt. but again it was like talking to an answering machine. In the end he said to me "Ok sir, I will write down that you REFUSED TO PAY" this was said to me in front of an audience who proceeded to laugh, not me though I was too insulted to laugh so I told your representative "I have the money, here it is, but I for me to pay you have to prove to me with papers that I do owe you this money. This is my right as a customer, So don't tell me that I refused to pay because I would like to pay you very much."

After this your representative left and nobody contacted me about this money again which further proves that your people were wrong again.

7- When finally we reached august 20 your people contacted me three times setting up three appointments for my bill payment two times were on line and the third time was over the phone. Each time I was told that a representative would call me over the phone to confirm before coming, then no-one calls and no-one comes. I repeat your people made three appointments with me and stood me up.

8- After this your on line billing site popped up again telling me that I should stop being bad and just pay my bill. as punishment I would be denied of service for one hour. I was going crazy so I called you dreaded customer service and complained about the three times they stood me up and now i have a dead line because I hadn't paid yet. The man on the phone promised me that a representative would show up within 48 hours and that I wouldn't have to wait for an hour as he will be returning my service within 10 minutes.

9- I was satisfied with this solution. so I waited 10 minutes and tried again only to find that your employee lied to me and that in fact I would have to wait for an entire hour.

10- Finally your representative called then came on September 13 (a few hours later than the appointment I might add) so I paid the money and shut the door and thought to myself thank god it is over for three months.

11- Again I was wrong (I need to stop being naive) since I am sitting here today writing this letter of complaint to you while my service is cut of for two hours right in the middle of my work which pays your bills. Of course I must mention that I called your customer service, explained to them that I had in fact paid my bill three days ago and asked them to return my service in 10 minutes (like I was told before). Your employee told me that this is not possible and that I have to wait for two hours. Again it was like talking to an answering machine since she kept repeating "this is not possible and you have to wait for two hours, sir".

I would really like to know which of your two employees was lying; the male employee working at 8 am on 12-8 or the female employee working at 9 am on 16-8.

I couldn't think of a better use for my two hours of waiting for your service to return than writing this letter in the hope of getting some kind of attention from your people.

This attention should come in the form of a formal apology and some kind of monetary compensation for the time I was deprived of service, the damages done to me as a result, and the insulting conduct of your customer service.

Since I am no longer a naive person I would be satisfied with just an apology.

If this situation persists or repeats itself I will know that your complaint system has also failed me. I shall have to take further action and it will not be limited to me changing ISPs let's just say that I will consider it my personal duty to deprive your company of as many customers as possible using all means necessary, and in this day and age its amazing what one motivated person can do with the internet and the media at his disposal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19083737 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 06:07:01 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19014309 habib2005 :

thats why it is much better than Linkdotnet.

1. 24/7 full speed, no 20kb/s day, 100kb night like link

2. they dont have as many customers or crowded like Link.net, that's why they provide great service and performance,
overused isps are slow as hell, empty isps have good free
bandwidth.

3. they dont make much advertising but that doesnt make them worse than other isp

4. low ping during the day to europe (below 150ms) and around 100-120ms night.

dont just by how many customers an Isp have, just by hows the service, they dont have many customers because not many heard or know about them.

and btw, smaller ISPS give better service than bigger crowded ones. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18859122 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 15:39:49 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18843892 anon : I cant believe how so many dsl users freaked out so much about the new prices.

The whole idea was to prevent "sharing a line" so they made a "just browsing" account. Alot of people r gonna use get it by the way.

If they raise the prices of the existing users or limit them, they know these users r gonna go for sharing a line. So its a loss 4 both the telecom co. and the ISPs, which was what they wanted to prevent 4m the beginning.

What happened is they wanted to appear on "helping the poor, next to the people" image not coming out straight that they wanna limit sharing of lines for more profit, (instead of paying your neighbour the 45, give it 2 us :))Meanwhile they ignored exisitng users.
(some paranoids say that the ignored them intentionally to spread out the news, weird)

Basics to be Highlighted and Asserted:

1. ðThe recently amended new regulations for Internet accessibility intends to broaden the base of subscribers and is not geared towards imposing additional restrictions and limitations. The directives and intentions were initiated by allowing free access to internet in the year 2002 and supplemented by the ADSL initiative in 2004.

2. Foundations for a new added value and transmission services industry are underway to mark and announce an “Information and Knowledge Community” with take into consideration economic and business models.

3. The intention to reduce tariffs for ADSL 256 Kb/Sec to L.E. 95 monthly was meant to encourage low income brackets to access internet and to stop the illegal line sharing phenomenon. Registered and declared number of subscribers within Egypt is estimated to be 300 thousand households while the actual situation indicates a doubled number because of illegal line sharing that resulted in poor services over which numerous complaints were reported.

4.We assert that subscriptions with the new L.E. 95 tariffs will continue and will not be abolished but we stress that illegal line sharing should stop for the interest of everyone.

5. The amended framework encompasses a reduction for families who intend to subscribe for ADSL service with a monthly rate of L.E. 45. It is left to the companies providing services to compete to reduce the tariffs if they wish. However, a basic subscription rate was determined to meet the needs of low income brackets, the equivalent of U.S. 8, considered to be one of the lowest tariffs offered on the world’s level.

6. The new plan is to be effective starting September 2007 with allowing a transitional period of three months to settle accounting systems as well as monitoring the market. We confirm that the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) will be monitoring the services provided to ensure good quality.

7. The new framework involves freeing the rates of downloading. Some companies have already announced a flat rate of monthly L.E. 90 for half a mega volt and L.E. 125 for one mega volt. It is to be noted that companies are encourage to compete to provide the best rates for subscribers while asserting that NTRA and the Egyptian Telecommunications companies are not part of that plan. There are special rates offered to business companies in addition to recreational offers.

8. We welcome the introduction of combined recreational offers between ADSL and mobile rates to encourage additional subscriptions.

9. NTRA is focusing on establishing an independent rate for Internet Cafes that takes into account implementing no restrictions on downloads. Meanwhile, we assert that current subscriptions will continue and remain unchanged.

10. It is to be noted that reaching this new reduced tariff mandated reductions made by the Egyptian Telecommunication Authority. It is worth mentioning that special facilities and subsidies were granted by the service fund at NTRA. Such facility was introduced by reducing the tariff rate to become L.E. 45 for an ADSL 256 Kb service.

BASIC MESSAGE:

1. Current subscriptions will continue and have to be respected and abided with by Internet companies. Subscribers have the freedom and option to decide whether to continue with the current plan or transfer to the new one.

2. The new framework will be applicable starting September 2007 with the intention to broaden and expand the base of subscriptions. It is to be highlighted that these new regulations intend to serve “low income brackets”.

3. An independent and separate regulation is to be reviewed for Internet Cafes taking into consideration setting free downloading capacity.

4. Liberalizing the rates for half and one mega volts will open venue to additional ADSL recreational offers all boiling to the interest of subscribers.

5. Our basic guideline is to broaden and expand accessibility without any impediments.

6. New regulations for an added value industry including transmissions basics are currently considered and reviewed.

7. No restrictions are imposed on energy downloads for L.E. 45 subscription rates.

8. The new plan will be for one year until market mechanisms are self regulated.

9. According to a market research conducted by NTRA it was discovered that the average download usage of an Egyptian family is two mega volts for a monthly L.E. 45 subscription tariff. In additional downloads from internet like movies for instance will be an additional cost.

10. Reaching such a reduced tariff involved special reductions by NTRA to Internet service companies.

It is to be highlighted and reiterated that such facilities were offered in the past for an L.E. 95 monthly rate for 256 Kb which witnessed a 50% decrease to serve a new bracket with a maximum download capacity of 2 mega volts. Companies are encourages to provide additional reductions which will not be applicable to NTRA services as their target is to support the L.E. 45 subscribers’ bracket.

It is just VOIP (Voice Over IP). it Did not require large bandwidth, just above telephone line. I am looking for 256kbps. Any Recommendation? (TEData, Link.Net, Raya, Noor,...).

I like to add some information about the ping process:

I see the ping numbers are very good. Lastweek I have trouble to log in hotmail during business hours (it is not the first time), I cannot login until 3PM. It is server issue and not internet connection. I am in Canada, using 6M/400K making the ping test in a low Internet traffic day (Sunday), see result bellow.
A big part about geographic location. North america sites are very fast, I get time out in Europe site. Some sites set the ping responce as low priority on the server or even stop it as there was an known old virus was continuous pinging the machine slowing down the internet.

why don't ppl learn from their mistakes? :D
if all you want to do is always have lowest pings and play games then you will have a very hard time (more in the near future) with all the talks about lowering prices.
but take a look at the post from the beginning, you will see that TE Data (and for a good reason) is well respected in terms of overall service delivery.
Believe it or not, but it IS still a good thing to be able to influence TE (Telecom Egypt) so we get upgraded faster than any other company in the market.

and if I may ask you, what do you mean by "lots and lots of problems?! I would expect you to list some facts and tell me your exchange name.

i have to say that while TEDATA is ok, they got lots and lots of problems, not reliable at all but speed and pings are acceptable, not the best during the day at all.

hey guys, dunno whats up but something is not working properely at TEDATA, the DNS keeps falling and something changed in the path taken to websites.

i used to get out on : "Pal6-Egypt-Pal9-telecom" something like this......now its always "Flagtel-NyC2-..."

this is a bit annoying because it increase pings by 50ms, speed seems the same though.

from 512 to 1mb no difference but from 1 to 2mb you get 30-50ms less ;)

what really affect pings is the distance from your central, cables, interference and how much bandwidth is available.

if your central is oversubscribed or lacking bandwidth/capacity your pings will definetely rise and obviously your speed will be lower.

Cyber Cafe is one thing, and home is another also, a cyber is considered Business, home is home, so while a Cyber can get excellent speed/pings, home will not really be the same.

well that's it. :) so in the end your Central and Capacity will dictate your speed and pings.

people living in the RAMSIS/DOWNTOWN area get the lowest pings because RAMSIS is the main exchange that distributes to the rest. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447423 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 15:01:55 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18445249 anon : TW...

the minimum for me has always been 250ms and to Newyork 200ms

today is thursday, ill go cancel with NOL, too bad cause i really liked their service but they really never fix their problems.

i started with nol in january 2006 and up until November 2006 the service was superb, getting full speed 24/7 and the pings were ok, then the pings started to reach 400ms everyday from 2:00 PM evening till 1:00 PM night steady, download speed 10kb/s, then it got fixed the ping problem (after 3 months and many calls), speed was never the same though, then 2 months ago the speed would work full speed for 9 minutes, then for 1 full minute the internet would simply black out like it happend with Dialup (no internet, no surf, no nothing).

this happend every 10th minute exactly, i tried different modems and even got a guy to bring his laptop same problem.

every 10th minute the internet hangs totally, changed my phone cables, put new filters and no difference.

im getting right now (3:35 AM) speeds up to 15kb/s , even LINKDOTNET (which is the worst isp ever) give you full speed at this time.

im surprised at your speed and really wish you good luck, thank you for your kindness.

ill post soon to let you know how is going.

tomorrow im going to cancel. ill go for TEDATA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18271791 Wed, 02 May 2007 20:36:43 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18270946 snapieee : Hi NOLUSER..you are welcome any time

I did speed test to London and NEW YORK as you asked me and the results as following:

LONDON


NEW YORK


I hope that the above mentioned tests will be helpful for you. By the way, as far as I know there are only 4 companies under Class A and they are Tedata, Linkdotnet, Egynet and NileOnLine. The rest of the Internet service providers are Class B. Class A providers own their own backbone in telephone exchange central. Consequently, Class B or any other companies which claim that they are ISP are renting or borrowing from Class A.

I'm really astonished from what most of the ISPs in Egypt are doing and advertising in newspapers or TV about their service and fabulous speed. I think that this is not appropriate at all for any ISP or any company in general in Egypt because simply they are going to lose their customers as they don't keep their words.

i am currently subscribed with NILE ONLINE and for 1 year it was superb, 24/7 top 2mbit speed 220kb/s, now its 5kb/s most of the time.

i will cancel with this one and i beg you to NOT join this piece of garbage of an isp.

NILE ONLINE SUCKS!

im going to join TEDATA , i didnt try LINK before and i never will, i have tried EGYNET and RAYA both are pretty bad but nothing compared to NOL. Nile Online really sucks in speed, support and especially PINGS! you cant play anything online unless at night.

will cancel monday.

EGPHARO, can you please try a speedtest to LONDON and one to NEWYORK? and post the result?

thanks.

thank you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18267797 Wed, 02 May 2007 07:02:44 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18259957 snapieee : As far as I can see at this topic…most of the users are with Tedata and I do agree with them. I was subscribing with linkdotnet for about year and half. In the first 3 months where they were offering a free double speed for new subscribers. The speed was really awesome cuz I was getting nearly my optimal speed, which is 64KB per second, almost 60kb and sometimes 62kb. But after few months later I got my original speed 256kb without any notice from them. The connection started to be unstable. I called their Tech support and they were somehow cooperative but sure after many waiting on the phone. They told me that my line will be monitored and they will inform me with the results. By the way, they told me that my line's parameters are very good as following:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 3542 kbps 1023 kbps
Line Attenuation 29 db 8 db
Noise Margin 11 db 8 db
I asked them why I'm getting 3452 displayed as my connected speed while I only subscribed for 256kb. Their reply was that this show your line speed capacity and it shows how much speed your line can handle. Anyway, they were good at the beginning with their tech support and speed but later I really don't know why they showed me their other side of the coin waiting on the phone for about 45min sometimes 30min. And once someone answers my call and hears my complaint he/she tells me wait a sec and then they transfer the call to someone else and so on till someone really listen to me. One time I was calling and waited for longgggg time and when they answered my call I told them what I have but they replied that the main exchange is congested and they are going to upgrade the bandwidth ASAP. I waited then called them again and again till they gave something called compensation which was double my speed for 2 weeks. Gosh, the speed was terrible even when they compensated me. I repeated that again for many times and they also gave me double speed and it was more than awful this time. I decided to cancel my subscription with them and search for another ISP. I call some other providers and inquired about the procedures to subscribe with them and they told me if you are currently and want to move to another ISP you have to get your cancellation number which show us that you settled everything with them. Gosh, I spent so many days just to convince them to give me my cancellation number and I called the NTRA h**p://www.tra.gov.eg/to complain and they helped me a lot cuz I called linkdotshit a day later I got my cancellation number by phone. One more thing, when I told linkdotzeft that I want to cancel they told me that we can as you owe us money which I knew later that it was their fault as they didn't update their billing system.

After I got my cancellation number I went to Tedata after I read many reviews and some of my friends recommended me to go there. I followed the normal steps and they told me the service will be on with 14 days maximum. And I got it after 5 days only and it was and still amazing, touch wood! ;-)
I have been with Tedata 4 months now and the service is outstanding indeed. I even upgraded my speed to be 512kb. I just did download speed and it's as fowllowing:


In addition, I took a look at my line parameters through my adsl modem and it's now:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 512 kbps 128 kbps
Line Attenuation 22 db 8 db
Noise Margin 31 db 31 db

According to one review I saw over the internet, you can scale your parameters compared to following:
Noise Margin (AKA Signal to Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Ratio)
Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. The higher the number the better for this measurement. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level.

6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems
7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions
11dB-20dB is good with little or no synch problems* (but see note below)
20dB-28dB is excellent
29dB or above is outstanding

* Note that there may be short term bursts of noise that may drop the margin, but due to the sampling time of the management utility in your modem, will not show up in the figures.

Line Attenuation
Measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. This is largely a function of the distance from the exchange. The lower the dB the better for this measurement.

20dB and below is outstanding
20dB-30dB is excellent
30dB-40dB is very good
40dB-50dB is good
50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues
60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues

Finally, If you want to get a good speed although the speed in general in Egypt is sucks you have:
1. Search for well-known, respectful and class A ISP.
2. Check your wires and that includes indoor and outdoor wiring.
3. Get yourself a decent modem. I have Netgear

also keep in mind your 2048mb adsl is work, business, you get a contention ratio of 20 to 1 , while normal adsl (non business) you get 50 to 1.

1024mb / 49 people = 20kb/s

anyone on normal ADSL with Link.NET, be it 256/512/1024 or 2mb will get max 20kb/s during the day, and full speed at night when Contention is lower.

TEDATA is 100 times better because they have great routing, this means if the link is overloaded it autoswitch to the next Gateway, this is why you get 108kb/s with TEDATA. ;)

guys i beg you STAY AWAY OF LINK.NET if you are a normal user (not business), you will cry.

dont say i didnt warn you.

update :

im now subscribed with TE-DATA @ home , and still with link.net @ work

the difference is i upgraded my speeds .

my connection @ home = 1mb = 1024 K ADSL TE -DATA

my connection @ work = 2mb = 2048 K ADSL link.net

@ home the first days with TE-DATA were kinda bad , i had some problems with my speed , they were not the best as i expected , im not sure if it was my pc slowing down or if their service is bad .

but few days later , i changed many things in my pc , such as network card , installed winxp from the beginning , downloaded almost all updates available for winxp from download.microsoft.com

now my speed is very good its between 105-108 K /sec all day times .
but ping times are not very good ,
in BF2 online i get pings higher than 200+ ms for most servers.

i get good pings 100+ ms for few servers ( this is very good )

anyways TE-data worses 8/10 . its very good compared to other Isps in EGYPT.

now it comes to link.net :)

the company that made me angry for a very long time ,

guess what happened to me ?

they considered me as a special user , they fixed my problem and gave me a speed i always dream of .

im downloading 240 + K /sec sometimes it reaches 260 K / sec using internet download manager accelerator. thanks to ALLAH :)

i can not believe it !

some of my friends told me they get very good speeds with link.net , i don't know if its kind of luck or its a central issue .
may be they are lucky , may be their line in the central is connected to an empty DSLAM or at least not overloaded .

pings are close to those i get with tedata , but kinda better , they are mostly close to 100 + ms in bf2 online .

my advice is : if you have time , you don't care about trying an ADSL , if you are patient and you can wait many days to change an isp without complaining or getting your work interrupted , then go for :

link.net and try it , if they are good with you , then stay with them

, if they are bad , then don't start calling their technical support !! ... just terminate and cancel with them immediately , and go for TE-data .

i hope i helped .

Good luck everyone .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17559075 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 12:40:15 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17526735 rock_world : thank you! your information is very useful!

first reason is : you are in egypt , you are in a stolen country being stolen everyday by the governoment

second reason is : ADSL is defined as a shared bandwidth ,
means you are not alone , means you and others are connected to the same DSLAM in the central .

the problem with egyptian companies is that they don't use a fair sharing ration : i mean if its supposed that you share your connection with maximum 8 users , they force you to share it with over than 20 users and may be more .

most of users in egypt get download speeds under 30 k /sec for 512k ADSL , some of them get under 20 k/sec for 512k ADSL. :(

another thing to keep in mind is in Winter the phone cables in the street and in your house suffer from water (rain) and moisture....in summer it kinda expand and cause "Crosstalk".

so you may get great speed for example in Winter and not in Summer (depending on the cables where you live) or viceversa.

regardless of this, TEDATA doesn't oversubscribe like Link.NET.....all ISP oversubscribe anyway but TEDATA does it ONLY on very specific centrals such as ABBASSIA, RAMSIS and BULAK EL DAKRUR. these are very busy centrals and request to subscribe are a lot more than say MOHANDESSEEN or ROXY. :)

that's it.

i recommend staying with TEDATA even if you get 1kb/s because other ISP will give you 0kb/s. trust me. they suck. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17413490 Thu, 07 Dec 2006 08:20:14 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17407795 mohamed9x : ofcourse it can't be a modem problem as you achieve good speeds at certain times of day ,

i explain for you , :

when either TEdata or link.net make excuses for you saying that its your hardware problem , ... you should test your connection speed at a time of day after midnight for example
or at 5 am .

if you can get high speed close to the speed you pay for , then :S

your isp is faking you and they are liars , its oversubscription thing coz when time comes 12 pm all users are online and may be downloading and then you are lost among them :(

the answer to any liar isp is :
if i can get high speeds at any momen , then its not my hardware problem , its yours coz you give me full bandwidth for 1 hour , then you take it from me teh rest of day .

the isp will answer : its not our problem , you are within acceptable range , than you for calling . ( liars !!! )

i am on 256k/128k at the moment and getting 200k (25kb/s) in speed tests, that's very good actually, you can never get max speed because of the 10% overhead in internet protocols.

a 256k can get 200k max (25kb/s) , a 512k gets around 450k (53kb/s) max, 1024k gets 900k max (107kb/s). that's normal.

i think SABB0UR connection speed is great, you are getting near the max of your 256k connection.

TEDATA has been the best in all these years honestly, they upgrade the bandwidth at least once a year and don't oversubscribe like the other shit ISP.

if your connection is bad with TEDATA then don't expect any other ISP to give you any better cause they all suck.

BEST ISP = TEDATA
SUPPORT in all Egypt = BAD

so don't blame TEDATA for bad support, it's like that with every isp.

so go ahead and join TEdata, in fact 90% of this thread has repeated that TeData is the only ISP that is worth subscribe too, i have tried them ALL and they were all BAD, except Tedata. glad i subscribed with them.

interesting comments. I do agree with all of you that ISP's in Egypt sucks. that is the situation, though it is improving, we'll just have to deal with it for the time being.
my concern is actually VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol. Knowing that VOIP is still banned in Egypt I am reluctant to join TeData, and plus that VOIP needs a pretty effective connection to function properly!!
So if anyone uses Voip I'll appreciate some pointers on the ISP, Voip provider and the equipment (Router, ATA, ..)they use.
Keep it up guys, this is the only way anything will ever be solved in Egypt, through a Public Base (Qa3da sha3beya).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16599634 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 04:28:04 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16593351 rizsher : Hello Ashraf,

I have a DSL subscription with IT-Vision Egypt, who are aupposed to be re-sellers for TEData. I have found their service and customer support to be quite good. Being a small re-seller, you tend to get better support from them compared to TEData. I'm on the 512/256 kbps package.. which costs arnd 340 pounds/month. If u're interested in TE-Data, let me know and I'll pass you contact details.

I use a UK based VoIPProvider called VoipTalk, viist them at www.voiptalk.org. Being closer to Egypt then the USA, sound quality is generally better than US based voip service, I was with Broadvoice before, but then their service down the drain and I switcehd to voiptalk. Sound quality is excellent.

In terms of hardware, I was using a Sipura SPA3102 directly before... now I've switched to Asterisk, you can see details of my setup at »rizsher.tripod.com/trixbox/Instructions.htm. I suppose if you're planning to use it in an office setup, the Asterisk route would be more your thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16593351 Fri, 28 Jul 2006 08:53:22 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16591247 ashrafe0 : hey there.
I'm getting a new DSL subscription, most probable with tedata. but I am afraid I won't be able to make it function with VOIP, and Which Voip provider I should pick, Knowing ofcourse I'm in egypt there could be some restrictions.

many people (not you specifically or anything) blame
the ISP for bad pings and many other problems when in fact
it depends on many factors beyond the ISP.
the exchange, the central, the cable underground, the routing,
and much more.

of course in some cases the ISP could be having heavy traffic
or some problem but not 24h a day, every day.

but as i said before even though all ISP in egypt suck,
TeData is still the best of them all. the truth. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16457701 Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:18:31 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16454918 WoW addict : mate my pings are fine know too, since today, it wasnt just me, maybe you use a different exchange since you live in a different area, so you get different pings, and also it depends on where the servers you play on are located.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16454918 Fri, 07 Jul 2006 19:13:14 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16453302 anon : WoW Addict....the problem is on your side not the ISP.

please cancel Link.Net immediatly, dont do it by phone, go to the main office and tell them you are leaving Egypt forever

the trick: go every 2 or 3 days to the main office and repeat what you said and every time be even more angry.

Unbelievable and my answer was, am I suppose to log in at 4 am to get this speed?

Anyway I upgraded to 512 which took 7 days and guess what? my download speed now is 8 kb!!! but sometimes it goes up to 16 kbs. I called them and complained for the 37283768237 times and the guy told me he sees my speed on screen to be 21 not 16 and this is according to him is in the normal condition which goes between 19-50 kbs.Needless to speak about how slow is the shitty browsing...

2 - we will count everything , brwosing , downloads , idle times , online streaming , anthing your connection counts will be considered .

underwater and fix cables and things.
stay with TEDATA they are still good.

oh and there's no such thing as PERFECT in egypt.
Tedata is Best isp in egypt and only in egypt

i went to my central to ask after reading this thread
and they told me TEData and Egynet are the only ones
that do properely install the hardware at the centrals
and their servers are perfectly maintained periodically
with occasional fixing.

90% of "internal" complaints and fights at the central
is due to shit installation and problems caused by
LINK.NET, NOOR, NOL, MENANET. they mess cables, dont
screw properely things and the servers are in bad shape.
last week a customer called his phone was dead when
NOOR went to install his ADSL because they reversed
the splitting and burned the cables!!! that's shit!

i absolutely recommend if you want ADSL in egypt
then get either TEDATA or EGYNET, whatever your speed is
do not subscribe to the other horrible ISPS. it will be worse. :o]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16359295 Fri, 23 Jun 2006 06:43:30 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16348529 WoW addict : I called TEdata, callem 5-6 times a week, they told me only raw downloading will count, not browsing, but i dont trust em, not even a bit.

NEVER EVER COMPARE EGYPT TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!
Seriously!
People here will try to cheat you out of your pants even with direct services...if you don't believe me, check out Egypt's ranking in countries with shadow economies that comprise 30% of their GDP.
If you can't bitch and yawn to your ISP to get the perfect information about that connection, you will get screwed over...

ofcourse this helps me alot ..

now ....all i have to make sure about is that our ISPs in egypt are using the same way to count the usage .

but because we are in egypt i feel they will count everything because theives are so many in our country :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16342433 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 21:41:26 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16333691 anon : i live in Argentina and im on a quota of 20Gb a month,
the surfing is not counted toward your quota, this i am 100% sure, not even with heavy use.

it starts to count once your downloading goes at full speed
for more than 2 minutes, for example if you surf a site
the site loads and stop and loads and stop..so your speed will not go at full tilt.

when you download its a straight flow of data so the server after 2 minutes understands theres a download and start taking from your quota.

if you download something with Firefox and the file
ends within 2 minutes, your quota is not counted,
if the file after 2 minutes is still downloading
then it will start to take from your quota.

so the 100% answer is this:

1 - Surfing is not counted

2 - 2 minutes speed at full tilt and onward = counted

3 - downloads get counted after 2 minutes and forward.

hope it helps. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16333691 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:06:01 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16331129 mohamed9x : so ... you are not sure of the answer ....

i donno where can i ask ?

i even called the technical support of TEDATA and link.net they seem to not understand anything :(

if you are right about your answer then this will be painful.

counting everything but idle time means that the limit 10 GB can be reached in like 10 days or less of heavy usage !!

i hope i can find someone who has the 100 % right answer

so surfing will be counted, download will be counted,
IDLE will not be counted....like when you do nothing

example:

but yuo mentioned heavy surfing ...

what did you mean with heavy surfing ?

you mean visiting large sites that contain flash banners and take so long to load ?

i surfe the internet heavily ofcourse ! i visit so many sites at same time and open like 10 internet pages or more

so will i be charged for this besides the downloads ??

you see in the photo above ?

under activity received section

2.635.995 packets received .

this is what was received for 16 min surfing no downloads at all
so will my isp charge this as a download and consider it as part of the limited allowed 10 GB ??

he downloads @ 8-15 k without download managers programs

with speed programs he downloads @ 20-30 k which is ok

browsing speed is good not the best and not the worst.

at the first week he was disconnected so many times for hours

he called support and they said its a problem in central and will be fixed.

its already fixed now and speeds as mentioned above.

now i have a question to you guys about the new offers :

there is an offer 1 Mb speed with download limit 10 GB per month ... each more 1 GB you pay 8 LE .

so how will they measure the download limit ?

i mean will they count the brwosing and packets ? or just the actual downloaded files ?.. how will they classify the download and the browsing ..
i give you example :

im connected to the internet now on ADSL 512k speed
im connected for 2 hours till now while im typing this message .

i never downloaded any files yet . just browsing .

when i check the connection activity log i found :

sent packets : 4.843

recieived packets : 5.422

so will they consider those 5.422 as a download or not ?

i mean will they count from the 10 GB limit or not ?

in fact if they will count this 5.422 as download then this new offer is so crappy .

im waiting answer please i wanna make sure about this 100 %

thank you guys .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16325069 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 09:01:21 EDT Re: Torrents http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16320778 mohamed9x : lol

it's called Traffic Shaping, ISP slows traffic

this page will once and forall clarify it for you. :)

"Toucan Broadband.

Tiscali resellers, so it's extremely unlikely that they will be offering unlimited despite their advertising.
The asterisk points to a Fair Usage Policy which states that "we may restrict over-use by heavy users by, for example prioritising traffic from light users during peak periods".
It has recently been confirmed that Toucan consider 3GB per week (12GB per month as being) "unlimited" :(

Since day one (29th March) I've been experiencing terrible speeds during the day and good speeds after midnight so I telephoned to find out what was going on and clear my suspicions that they were maybe capping my service, after a major whinge I was informed that there were in fact limits.. 3GB per week!!!!! which is quite clearly not the unlimited service they are so blatently advertising. There is also no mention of a 3gb limit in the fair usage policy. I was also politely informed that I will receive up to 5 emails warning me to curtail my downloading before they will disconnect me.. Unfortunately I'm now tied into a 12 month and my only way out is to download like crazy so they disconnect me,, no option to obtain a MAC code even, which will leave me without any internet.

Cairo, Egypt, 4 MAY 2006 – TE Data, Egypt's fastest growing Data Communications and Internet Services Provider, announced today that it has signed a frame agreement with Flag Telecom, a leading provider of international wholesale network transport and communications services, to raise its International bandwidth capacity with Flag to an STM16 (2.42 Gbps) before mid 2006, a move that takes TE Data's overall total International capacity to 3 Gbps.

TE Data's current activated international bandwidth capacity is 1.8 Gbps, while the current total market capacity is estimated at 4.48 Gbps, which represents around 40% of the total market capacity and the highest in the market. With this upgrade, TE Data's total international bandwidth capacity reaches 3 Gbps, taking the market to a total capacity of around 5.69 Gbps. Such a move fortifies TE Data's leadership position in the Egyptian market with an estimated 52% of the total market international bandwidth.

Such an upgrade will help TE Data achieve ambitious broadband plans by providing an unprecedented Internet capacity and consequently the highest speed possible to its ADSL subscribers. Moreover, the upgrade will help boost TE Data's other IP Transit, Managed Dedicated Access services and Global Data Services to medium / large enterprises and multinational corporations.

“As broadband access keeps pushing user applications, the infrastructure behind the Internet access as an application had to go to the next level; this is why this upgrade is part of our tradition of following TE Data customers’ demands, which is our main formula for success.” commented Mohamed Elnawawy, TE Data's chairman and Managing Director.

Alaa Talaat, FLAG Telecom's Sales Director Middle East & Africa commented "This is much more than a supplier agreement and demonstrates TE Data’s confidence in FLAG’s ability to meet their exacting quality standards and technical requirements. We have been working alongside Telecom Egypt and TE Data as their bandwidth partner for over five years and this extremely large order demonstrates the explosion in demand for IP services. FLAG is a leading provider of bandwidth and innovative products and services across the region and is able to provide a global one-stop shop for customers at extremely cost-effective pricing.”

The high-quality STM 16 circuits will be connected to the FLAG Global Network through points of presence (PoPs) in Cairo and Alexandria, ensuring additional resilience.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16209778 Wed, 31 May 2006 19:31:39 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16209750 anon : LOL...what are WE smoking?! :-) lmao

256k Link.net is good, it's the higher speeds that sux.
any ISP you join in egypt at 256k will give the 22-25k you want, only TEDATA and sometimes EGYNET give you higher speeds (55k or 110kb/s) when join 512k or 1MB.

for example Link.Net (and other ISPS) 512k will give you 20-30k during day and 53-55k night. (major lack of bandwidth)
Tedata give you 45-50k in the day, 55k steady at night.

at least TeData got better Bandwidth than any other ISP
in egypt. thats reason alone to join.

Frankly, TEData is not that bad. They had some issues with their servers which made the download speed does not exceed 5kb/s, which was extremely annoying. But other than that, it's all ok, except for technical support. They suck sooo bad. Seriously, I don't see how can a company like that hire people that don't know jack shit about technology.

at least you also dont pay the phone even if you're

i have 2 lines, one with TeData and one with Noor
and i already cancelled Noor and joined TeData
so now i have 2 ADSL lines both from TeData,
they are great for me. my pings arent as good as
you (300ms-350ms) but the Download and surfing is great,
im like 150m from "Central El Nozha" and my connection is 256k/128k with everyday speeds of 22-27k (average 25k) which is fair i guess.

a friend got Soficom/Egynet 256k/128k he dont go
about 15k-20k in the speedtest of DSLREPORTS.

I am subscribed to link.net and I have to agree with everyone who affirms that link.net is a piece of rotten shit!
that's the worst ISP immaginable.
I have a 256/64 connection and I'm downloading at 8-10 Kb/s
sometimes when I'm lucky I get 12 Kb/s.
I phoned the technical support and all they said was that this is in the "acceptable range", which is between 9->32 Kb/s.
Now, let's say this is not what they were talking about when I first subscribed to the sevices, they promissed 32 Kb/s download and what I am getting isnt but a third.
If anyone would have told me in advance about this "acceptable range" I would have never even considered the idea of subscribing to such a shithole of an isp.
FUCK YOU link egypt, seriously from my heart! I hope this fuck burns with all those lying bastards who answer me everytime I call, inside.
I dont have any other experiences with isp's, so if you say that the problem isnt with the isp but with the country, then here is what I have to tell you...
FUCK EGYPT! this country sucks bad dude! fuck you egypt fuckin burn!
and for you guys who speak arabic...

I am a TEdata user, for 2-3 years now, at first i had 256 conn, and then upgraded to 1024/256 . At the beginning my latency in games and dl speed was really good, pings where 50ms on average and dl speed always 100+. Then after 1 month of this heavenly speed, my dl speed didnt exceed 20k most of the time, and for some reason i had huge packet loss, making entering game servers a dream i couldnt reach. This situation lasted over 2 months, yes you heard right. 2 months and there was no help AT ALL from TEdata customer support, hell they didnt even agree to bring a engineer to my house to see it by himself and explain to me why this had happened. Note that i live very near to almaza and i should have the speed i payed for. After a lot of traceroutes and suggestions from other players of the game in egypt (thnx all) i discovered a way to get my ping back to 85 ms on average . And i had to change my IP countless times over and over again so i can have that kind of pings. Then after 3 months of back to normal speeds, i think they added a new server in Almaza called Alm-r1 or something, and since then my pings got back to 260 ms average, and according to TEdata tech support, its pretty good ms, yeah right think these guys are smoking something, and its not tobaco. I mean my should i pay a hell lot of money and have not even 1/1000 of what i pay for? I mean why some IP's have good pings (85) and some dont? Anyway after they got that new server these pings no longer exist. I would post some tracerts but i dont know what i must remove so i'm safe from hackers and stuff.

Atm after 2 hours i found an IP with 90ms on average but i doubt its gonna last long. Pls other Tedata users post some traceroutes, so i can verify my facts, to know that i'm not the only one here with crappy ms. I'm sure there must be a reason for IP's to be so different to eachother, and tbh the good IP's werent random as they are after the new server, they used to be one kind and one kind only. Anyway i hope we could take all those companies to law and make them give us what we pay for

The conclusion of this all is that TEdata is as crappy as other ISP's, but just a tad better, but i mean their tech support is as bright about conns as my grandma. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16089668 Sat, 13 May 2006 12:40:16 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16065391 Sphinx_2307 : Hey Molokheya, please do me a favour a ping to yahoo.com and uk.yahoo.com at the peak time and late at night and pot your tracert/ping here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16065391 Tue, 09 May 2006 22:36:53 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16065153 anon : I think beside the problem with the egyptian telecom
anyway, you cannot take the problem that someone
had with the line and compare it to yourselves.

personally i am with Tedata from 2 and half years
and got disconnected only a couple of times because
they were doing something in the central and not
because of any problem.

also i tested every isp in egypt and i mean ALL
8 isps and they were all the same except for TeData
and Egynet. the rest are extremely bad. i comfirm this
because 3 friends of mine got the exact results with
the isps.

definetely TEDATA and EGynet are the only isp in egypt
giving an acceptable and long term speed.
stability is not the really an ISP problem but
your distance from the central and your phone line status.

i am 512k/256k and my download is about 48k during day
is the lowest i've seen in speed tests here at DslReports
and during heavy downloads, no complains, with RAYA
i used to get 20kb/s at most.
i am 1KM from my central and my modem sync at 32DB
and attentuation is 18DB. perfectly stable line.

if after trying TEDATA and EGYNET you are not satisfied,
forget any other isp because they are WORSE!
don't bother. stay with Tedata or Egynet and thank god
you have ADSL in egypt. it's already a miracle. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16065153 Tue, 09 May 2006 21:58:24 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16064380 Pink Waters : you're damn right!

The telecommunication infrastructure of Egypt is so underdeveloped, you guys should be thankful we have a DSL connection under the name 'broadband'!!
Sure it sucks, but that's the way it is, and that's the way it's always gonna be.
Multiplexing or not, the wiring and connections infrastructure can't absorb the enormous capacity, provided of course that most of our wiring system (coaxial cabling) is outdated.
Egypt's light is dimming away.

First month, I got an excellent ping (sometimes in the 80s)to British servers, then something went wrong...1 month later, my ping jumped to 200 on average.
Needless to say, I was pissed off so i called them expecting to get help, but apparently 'tech support' know no more than my mom about broadband...hell, they don't even know what broadband means!
Conclusion, Egypt is and will always be a couple of steps behind when it comes to effecieny and international competitiveness....
Maybe one day Mobinil or a foreign ISP subsidiary are going to set up broadband here....I shit you now, if and when this happens I'm going to Link's head office myself and throw the modem in the CEO's face.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16059594 Tue, 09 May 2006 07:03:49 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16052099 anon : :huh:Well according to the numerous advices in this board I subscribed with Tedata, let me tell you what happened to me.
First it took 11 days for the service to be available for me although they said it will take from 5 to 7 days!
second after 4 days from my subscribtion the line went down, I called the customer service , the lady transfered me to the technical support , they told me the problem is from the telephone company and it will be resoved soon, it took 14 hours to be resolved (SOON) and when it returned it kept disconecting and then returning for at least 5 times, I think that TEdata has to compensate subscibers for this delay (That is what all ADSL ISP's are doing world wide to express how they are sorry ! )
Third When I subscribed I asked for my e-mail box which is a must for every new account, no e-mail box till now although I've called the customer support twice for that.
Lastly, the speed is acceptable, it is not perfect but it is acceptable, I think that according to Tedata, that they will deliver ADSL 2+ soon, the speed will emiliorate a lot.
Tedata needs to concentrate on its customer support and need to take every individual complain seriously with no ignorance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16052099 Mon, 08 May 2006 02:58:12 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16044644 anon : This comfirms that TEDATA is still the very best
you can get in egypt. they have the Bandwidth

The service has been exceptionally good. I had initially taken a 1 mbp 1:2 ration connection as I use VoIP quite a lot, and wanted to be sure theres always enough b/w avaialble for a voice call... after 3 months, the QoS was so good I downgraded to 512 1:2.... and no impact on my voice quality.

I was searching the internet to see what clients are saying about us, and i am so glad I found this thread.

I started from half this thread till the end, I think most ppl agree TEData is the best, well, I have to agree with that, as I am actually a TEData user and I am a trainee there.

Trust me, I started using their service a year ago, it was awesome, I learnt from some linux guys about pinging and traceroup and these stuff, and they confirmed TEData is the best, I think.

Now, to give you some insider information (I hope I am not going to be sued :D), there is a problem in one of the international links right now, should be fixed real soon, it is a marine link and is cut near Germany or sthg (ppl talk), and I am sure it is flagtel, then I think the traffic to the US should be slower now, not for long, hopefully (traceroute saus it connects to flagtel London, then Flagtel NewYork).

TEData is awesone regarding their bandwidth and their Hardware (DSLAMs), they are using latest technologies (expect DSL2 VERY soon - up to 8 Mbps).

The biggest problem here is the shitty Telecom Egypt, I really hate them, oh, did someone mention they are our mother company, bad boy I am :), you should see what they do to the lines, they have all kinds of problems, and some centrals have the majority of lines not capable of having a 1Mbps. and we are blamed by users.

VERY IMPORTANT, plz.
Kindly all be informed that we are not greedy as you are all thinking, we DO NOT want ADSL prices that high, as someone mentioned here the 50% offer. we used that offer to attract more clients that where actually going to our biggest competitor for the offer they have, and we where happy.

However, the NTRA did't like that, and claimed we (TEData and LINKdotNET) are trying to dominate the market!
NTRA= National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority.
They even suspended both of us 2 weeks from working in the centrals, and hell with all our clients, they are SUCKERS.
They put the price floors, they delay our operations, and we are to be blamed by our clients, not fair, I think.

Well, I think I wrote too much, but hey, you can always call us on our hotline ;) 19777. (will not be talking so freely ofcourse :D)

Best Regards, and thank you for your trust, and my apologies to those who are having problems with our service and to "doudoumarin" for not having our 50% offer, I am really sorry, it is the NTRA not TE that stopped our offer (all our offers actually :().]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15559991 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 15:34:50 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15557794 AhKamal :

forgot to mention that since TEDATA is the most important
part of Telecom Egypt, they are the most important ISP
in egypt and as such they upgrade their bandwidth,
unlike the other shit ISP in egypt like LINK/NOOR/NOL/RAYA..

that's a great company, and that's why i always recommended
it to everyone and all my friends are very happy after
years of use with TeData in Peak hours and night hours
always getting max download speed.

here's your proof:

join TEDATA and enjoy ADSL as it should've been.
cancel your ADSL and join TeData and stop wasting your
time using a shit service.

but i'm using Tedata from 3.0 years and download
is at max on my current 1024/256k (108kb down/25kb up)
everyday since i've joined, so either you're all liar
or your computer/software/modem/knowledge is pure shit.

i think your central is the problem, used EGYNET (1999 to 2003) as 512k/128k and got 55kb everyday, then went with Tedata (2003 to 2006) 1024/256k and get 100kb everyday,
i always had 500ms ping but i get full download speed.

i heard when they split at the central sometimes it's not
properly installed and done most of the time and thats why the shit performance, it's the TECHNICIAN mistake not
ISP or bandwidth problem.

this happend to my friends in USA too, once they properly fix at central the splitting everything works @ full speed.

tell your ISP to send somebody to check at the central,
especially if you are with TEDATA and EGYNET, they will do it for real, if you're on LINK.net/Raya/menanet they will lie by telling you they tested and found everything OK.

good luck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15536234 Wed, 22 Feb 2006 15:07:56 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15516445 mohamed9x : RAYA sucks take my word :)

I just returned from Canada ( Mississauga Ontario ) , and I used to have an ADSL connection in my place 256/64 , it costs me 19.99 CAD which is about 90 LE and nothing compared to the income, with a fabulous speed ( I do not use technical terms like ping , I just feel the speed ) with no interaption and a prime support ( Bell Canada ) .
Anyway I went to TE data Alexandria branch a week ago after an advertising in a newspaper and they told me that they have a good deal, half price for every speed, I just went and get 900 LE for a year subscription , It took me 1/2 an hour , upon returning they told me that the deal was cancelled, because the TELEcom egypt refused this deal.

any other isp sucks big time, tedata is the only isp
that will give you good to great speed and acceptable pings,
besides when you join they check if there are Ports
in the central before installing you, they don't
oversubscribed.

from what i read in all the posts, most people are on Tedata
(me too) and praising it, so Tedata is the ISP to choose!
if you get poor speeds also with Tedata then your problem
is the central and not the ISP.

raya is very gay with me and download rates on 256/64kbps are :

sometimes good 28 kilo byte/s
sometimes funny 4k/s slower than dialup

pings are so shitty .. they told me that the problem is in my phone central station and that they will upgrade their bandwidth there but im sure they are fucking liars as other isps .

@NomadvEAF

THANK YOU very much about the "performance" review
you gave us about your experience with other companies
such as RAYA/LINK/EGYNET..but there's something i don't understand..

RAYA = 256k review
Egynet = 512k review
LINK = 1024mb review

did you join TEDATA as 2048MB? :D haha

another thing is that you're right about EGYNET having
$hit support/disconnections ...however about the performance i heard they were one of the worst?

anyway, i'm gonna join TEDATA and will stay with it,
i'm right now using a 56k modem and ANYTHING! Adsl even 256k speeds are better than this pile of $hit. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15262455 Tue, 17 Jan 2006 01:03:34 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15260513 anon : dont bother answering i just read the whole topic ...DOUF]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15260513 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 20:20:16 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15260184 anon : people i am about to subscripe a ADSL with some provider in egypt yet i haven't desided ..

TE Data seems to be best of all but i need to make sure as i dont have the luxary to cancel my subscription with an ISP and wait for a month to reactivate the line so its more like a one time shot so i want it to hit.

i am thinking of a 256/64 deal due to lake of resources but i must maintain a 30+ KB/S D/L speed concurrent with no less that 15 Kb/s U/L speed.

would the 256/64 do the trick or i should go for the 512/128 offer ..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15260184 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 19:41:16 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15174043 anon : Ok, I've tried most ISPs; Raya, Link.net, Egynet, and now TEData.

Raya:
Average customer Support
Good performance (256/64 -> 27/6)
Average pings (EU-> 190, US-> 210)
a little downtime

Egynet:
The shittiest customer support
Good performance (512/12 -> 55/12)
Good pings (EU-> 170, US -> 190)
alot of downtime

Link.net:
Obsolete customer support
Crap performance (1024/256 -> 50/7)
The worst pings (EU-> 400+, US-> 390)
a little downtime

Now I just subscribed to TEdata and hoping for the best. From what I hear from alot of friends is that they're better than all the rest when it comes to performance and pings...not sure bout the downtime and customer support yet....

They charge more than the normal pricing in other countries, although they do not care to upgrade their technology or give us the allocated speed. It is a real problem, but what can we do about it?

I do not know if it is available but if there is something that you can buy "dedicated bandwidth" for yourself only with partnership with another company, go for it. But if that's available, I think it will be pretty expensive for us.

The DSL technologies failed in Egypt, so that's not because it is a bad technology, its our company minds.

regarding my own experience with ADSL providers, I've been with TEData (256/64) and to be honest. The browsing speed is much like ISDN 128 only. And the download goes down and up all time while downloading from 9-10 to 30. but its not static on specified value.

I didn't try Soficom or Raya yet. but I am considering a new service G.SHDSL does anybody know what's it? It's offered by Raya, maybe its worth the try. I believe its around 2.3mbps and they say its the new generation DSL technology.

I heard good things about Soficom, my friends is using it for his cyber cafes.

Now, please if you know something about Raya G.SHDSL service, please reply, and it does require a normal phone line or not (I have a wireless phone line atm)

Can anyone help me with answers?

Back to ADSL - It's poor in most ISPs. Its expensive also. All friends from around the globe has speeds 1mb up to 155mbps for good pricing.

Please stay away from TEDATA, (poor technicals, slow response, shutdown without notice and more), LinkDOTnet, Menanet..for others, give a try. especially raya and telecom.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15064125 Tue, 20 Dec 2005 12:45:24 EDT Re: DSL in Egypt http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15054731 anon : ~~yes to have a good internet speed in Egypt don't change your isp .... you must change your country ~~

they can earn more money if they upgrade their servers & thier international bandwidth periodically because if they do so .. they will keep their subscripers and then so many users will subscripe with them for long time not only for 1 month.

People will simply lie rather than admit that they don't know and don't care. Almost everything is like this here. It's not like this elsewhere in the Arab world. The mother of civilization is a lazy bi*ch. Anyway, just wanted to report that I use LinkDotNet and am similarly getting ripped off. I subscribed to a 512 line but it was never that. Consistently I was getting speeds around the same as a 56k modem. I even tested it against simply dialing up. I forwarded speed results to the company and got the same BS others have gotten about the problems being sorted out next week, "within days," etc. etc. What is so outrageous is how expensive DSL is in Egypt compared to elsewhere. I pay one third more than a friend in the UK and he gets three times the speeds I get. This is simply Egypt: it's rip off place, rife with corruption and a complete lack of business ethics or efficiency.

One interesting thing to note. LinkDotNet offered to double my connection speed for the next three months because I told them I was going to look elsewhere. Strangely, I'm allocated Up/Down (Kbit/sec) 736 / 3584, but I get only 512Kbps download and 126Kbps upload on online speed tests, which is what I might otherwise expect from my original 128 / 512 allocation. I don't know if there is some mistake here, on my part or theirs, and I didn't really test the connection much yet (it doesn't appear any faster and has been hanging a lot recently), but if at the end of the three months they call to say my connection is reverting to the sh*t I had before I will tell them where to get off.

Bottom line, shared connection or not, subscribers should more or less get average speeds around those THEY PAY FOR. Egyptian companies would go bust in the West because consumers have rights there.

I tried link.net, noor, egynet and TEdata during the past year. I have 2 phone lines which allowed me to swich from one ISP to the other without having DSL "downtime".

all have the same problem: for the first 1-2 months the service appears to be good. as time passes by more and more users join the network and these f**king companies dont buy more international bandwidth. result: packet loss, high pings, in some of them dld speed down to half.

I join some game servers in europe and have a ping of 400-500 which is more than people logging in from Australia. The packet loss makes the games unplayable from screen freeze (lost packets need to get retransmitted).

Support in all those companies sucks. the stuff who replies doesnt even know how to interpret a tracert. I dont know what they are there for. they just ask is the modem on or off and such stupid things. and when u ask them if there is any upgrade in the int'l bandwidth scheduled the reply is : yes next week at most all is solved. and it goes on and on for months without any improvement.
