Re: DSL in Egypt
which ISP to choose? it doesnt matter BECAUSE ALL OF THEM SUCK BIG TIME.
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. Even if you tell them you will cancel the subscribtion they don't seem to care.
ALL ARE THE SAME AND ALL ARE LIARS AND GREEDY AS***LES. If you want decent internet connection you have to go live in another country. |
