As part of the En Marche! party, Emmanuel Macron has defeated the extremist Marine Le Pen by a large margin to become France’s new president.

Imad Kreidieh, the general director of OGERO, announced on his twitter account last night the new DSL prices that should soon be offered to the public once approved by the cabinet and they are as follows:
Note that open speed means as much as your phone line can handle. And according to the tests OGERO is currently conducting the speeds are reaching up to 10 and 12Mbps for people that are close to the exchange offices. As for free night quota, Kreidieh claimed it will not be available at this stage.
Needless to say, any price reduction to the DSL service is good to us, and I believe these new prices are quite fair. What I also wish is to have the process of switching from one ISP to another made easier since it takes up to two months right now.
Every student has to go through it, it’s one of the most tedious processes of the year. You have to wake up at like 8am and open your computer and pray to god that the ‘kahraba’ doesn’t cut. You sit there typing your CRN’s only to find out that 3/5 classes that you wanted are full and now you have to rush to find new classes and you end up with a schedule that starts at 9:00 am and ends at 6:15 pm. The AUB administration needs to find a solution to this problem and figure out how students can take their major courses without all the hassle.
