GET UNLIMITED DOWLOAD WITH KULACOM WiMax

Peace out

i used to be OK when they downgraded my speed every month from 2mbit/s to 512kb/s when i reached 12 GB downloads. but now, beginning this month (august 2009) when you download 12GB you will downgraded to 128kb/s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is outrageous! that’s almost the same speed as DIAL UP! of course i’m goning to try and dissconnect the connection and end my subscription as soon as possible. this is just unbearable

Is there any offers for visitors who usually visit Jordan during Summer (July, August & September)?

but wat rrly pisses me off, ping speeds, it was fine 3 months ago. now however they suck ass. a minimum of 100ms and an average of 200. u cant play shooting games that way :@.. f the speed, just start by fixing the ping at least.. shouldnt be that costy :S..

can anyone tell me, hows Zain ping?
can it reach 50-80ms say in german servers?(orange used to, 3months ago)

Cyberia have the worst internet service ever :
1- You get less than your download limit (I actually monitored the download limit)
2- You manually have to reset your speed every month (I called them wondering why I am not having my full internet speed at the start of new month, they told me : You have to unplug the modem and switch it off/ on to get full speed
3- Problems with their authentication server that keeps disconnecting users.I have to call them and tell them their server will not let me connect to the internet.They told me : You have to unplug the modem and switch it off/ on .

To be continued

1) LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH PING, not getting as much speeds as promised, tricking people into believing that for example 200 Kilobytes per second is the same as 2048 Kilobits per second which we payed for, when IN FACT it should be 256, and same applies to all speeds, and this is not a bandwidth issue from the ISP, it is a CAP or LIMIT that they apply from the company, effectively saving on 20% of their bandwidth!!!

2) POOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT that either acts dumb or tells you that there is nothing wrong, often asking you to disconnect your modem and router for a while, then telling you that it might be a problem with your router (Yea right) and to connect directly.

3) JUMPING YOUR QUOTA in order to lessen your speeds to an even lower level when you don’t even download anything, for example in batelco, you used to be able to go into their website and monitor your downloading, however after noticing some very false values (EVEN AFTER I WAS LIMITED, i was boasting more download capacity than ever possible) and calling them on the phone several times, they removed the feature!!!!

This is ridiculous, i have yet to meet a Jordanian happy with his/her internet connection, complaints on every company have been constantly made, the only solution is to wait for a miracle to happen. I am hoping that rumors about the government setting up fiber optic infrastructure for internet would be an improvement. Meanwhile, THE ISP’S SHOULD BE SUED DUE TO THEIR MALPRACTICE AND DECEPTION OF EVERY CUSTOMER. PROOF IS RIGHT THERE BEFORE OUR EYES, COMPLAINTS ARE MADE DAILY, THERE IS YET A DAY WHERE SOMEONE DIDNT TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW THEIR ISP HAS A CERTAIN ISSUE. IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. MAKE YOUR VOICES HEART PEOPLE. THIS IS JORDAN, IM NOT SOME RANDOM GUY WITH NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE THINGS, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT BANDWIDTH CAPS ARE THERE AND ARE LOWER THAN WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, BY FAR!!! QUOTAS ARE BEING PLAYED WITH DAILY!!! SOME EX-EMPLOYEES HAVE REPORTED THAT IT IS ALL SCAMMING AND A BIG RIP OFF!!! FACT !!!!

I have come to the decision that TEData is misleading, disloyal, dishonest and with no credibility towards its customers and assumes that the majority of its customer base is naive or even stupid.

I subscribed to their 512kb/9GB plan (still on 128kb because orange did not upgrade speed yet), but here is the catch:

I am a computer engineer myself and know many technical stuff, so after my subscription I installed accurate download monitoring programs which count how many MBs I have downloaded. Here is the trick of TEData, if you download 25 or 30 MB, they subtract 100-130 of your balance, If my connection is idle - that is I am not using the net - they subtract 55-80 MB/hour!!! they trick you and eat up your quota very quickly.

I have contacted customer support and reported the issue, they said their was a small mistake in my account, they restored 1GB to my remaining download and said everything was OK, but it was not, in less than few hours, they subtracted 600+ MB of my balance, How on earth could a 128kb connection consume that much in less than 4 hours!!!!!!

I filed a complaint to the manager still waiting for a response!

People, BE CAUTIOUS and monitor your downloads, use tbbmeter program to monitor how much you REALLY download

As far as Umniah is concerened, I have tried several times to send them emails requesting some info but none whatsover cared to reply back so I immediatly ditched them.

As of prices, at the time of writing I find TEData a good choice, a 512kb line including JordanTelecom fees cot me 250JD for a year subscribtion. They give away a 9GB Bandwidth, and after the cap is reached I get full speed on Fridays and from 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM which so far I find satisfying.

I hope everybody shares his/her experience with every ISP they subscribed to for the benefit of all of us!

what u’r trying to say is “you can get the full speed” or the download is unlimited ?????

anyways JCS is best if u wanna download but again i think they had increased there number of customers and lately speeds going downhill
but end of the day its ulimited , i can push 6 giga a day now . compared to other places ( THATS Heaven )
sad part there ping sucks , and lots of internet cuts coz they use a cheap stupid way to spread there network ,
if u want a connection for browsing and downloading , JCs is ur only solution and if ur not in coverage , tough luck . maybe move ur house
for gaming its simple . no one is better than orange. i play wow on my free time and after trying all those isp’s simply stay with orange no one is better . no matter what ppl tell u . all isp’s have limited bandwidth they buy off ORANGe , while orange got all the bandwidth of internet in jordan , thats why when u download at full speed , ur ping stays normal while playing games for example,

for me i use jcs for download only on newsgroups and orange 1 meg for gaming and voice.
and about the rants , will its damn sad when u see ppl in europe like sweden ,norway or norway now having 100 meg connection to 1 gig connection to there homes ….
while 90% of jordan isp’s dont even have 1 gig bandwidth !! some not even 100 meg

and i heard JCS will reach my area soon , hope latency won’t suck.

as far as i can tell, Orange is fine…(dont try Cyberia, most hours of the day the latency is 4000ms with a Euro server, and goes to 70ms at late night or early mornings only===> 3am-9am…)

for all i know, if u can afford an orange 4mb line(it goes down to 1mb unlimited after 15gb), then its the best deal in the market.. 1mb isnt that fast, but its enough really for streaming/gaming/download..

ofcourse you do know that JCS service is limited to a very small area around the gardens street…

Would like to change from Orange due to unreasonable limit , which i reach just by gaming/voip/game patchs , i don’t download torrents or media files.

Thanks for info.

(edited for language)

second, they used to offer the same normal speeds, 1mb 512kb etc, but i guess they are faster now.

third, the ping/latency is way slower, browsing/gaming is pretty bad, and more data loss than usual(think of it as a 3G like connection, but slightly better i “think”, not sure). dont think they can fix that part by now..

forth, im not sure if its even allowed to be used by regular civilians in Jordan(governments in the Arab world like to keep an eye on whats everyone browsing , and they cant spy on satellite connection). for all i know, the only ones using satellite internet in the Middle East would be the US soldiers..
======

Good news in Orange(maybe other isp too), probably not everyone had noticed it, but, for me, i can download(ofcourse direct download, not torrents, didnt test torrents yet but i doubt) and Game at the same time.

so im downloading from Rapidshare at full speed, and playing CounterStrike with 62ms ^^

i Dont know what exactly they did, i guess they changed some infrastructure here or there. maybe have something to do with introducing those new speeds. anyways it just rocks!

maybe the prices and limits are crappy, but man you gotta love the speed/quality of Jordan’s internet(compared to arab countries)

hows the ping times/latency in Zain?
