Some interesting statistics from SpeedTest.net

This may answer the question once and for all, as to where exactly ISPs currently stand in Trinidad and Tobago in terms of performance.

Can you say Lihixixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!11!!

suggestion ngw, allow ppl to change their vote, since you modified the original poll, and some blink ppl might wanna choose 8. "Stuck with Blink until Flow comes in my area"

Hmm, I see your logic, but seeing that the poll is titled..Who is your "Current" broadband provider their vote being cast under blink is fine for that purpose.

Simply giving an idea of where gatters are getting their high speed internet fix nowadays. Looks like it is almost a down the middle split between Flow and Blink.

Nice to see greendot so far off the bottom of the chart. *shudders* from bad memories.

That said, I fully understand the burning desire by many to throw egg on TSTT's face, especially in the wake of their recent failings. omg @ 600+ pings to google.

If that continues, I'd expect a future poll to show a landslide win for Flow.

Well then we'd have to count those ppl that voted 8. "Stuck with Blink until Flow comes in my area" should also be tallied in with the 1. "Blink Broadband (TSTT)"

making it currently 15 Blink (45.5%) vs 13 Flow (39.4%)

Hear this... since I work with a pretty decent group of guys and we do jobs for alot of companies, it game us insight into something I am sure FEW ppl know. It is regarding the CRAP that is TSTT the policitcs and the fact that we have NO recourse... so check it... the guy in TATT yes... that waste known as the Telecommunications Authority of T&T is run by a FORMER TSTT emplyee (can't remember his name atm) who apparently is BALLS-LESS to do ANYTHING about problems with 'alternative' service providers. So much so that isn't it interesting to know that he is forming a group known something like FTWIT 'Former TSTT workers in TATT' but I digress... the interconnectiong between TSTT and Digicel... TSTT was claiming that it was a hardware issue and they needed new equipment to do it... do you know it came down to a SINGLE MC setting on an EXISTING PIECE of TSTT equipment and they were just being a cockblock? wait it gets better!!!
When the competitive comparison of TSTT cell coverage to DIgicel was performed... TSTT (at that time and prolly still) had 'NOT AS GOOD' coverage as Digicel... when teh REPORT came in, it did not reflect this... do you want to know why? because the man in TATT in charge of said report was the SAME MC that designed the TSTT cellular network... in the present 'slogans' of two of meh close padnas...

Great is the PNM
and
We like it so...
