WTF is up with TSTT's business prices!!?

No wonder most businesses decide to 'go with the Flow'.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #2 on:** September 21, 2009, 04:36:56 PM »

TSTT forgot to include the veiny member next to the business prices.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2009, 04:53:32 PM »

HA!!! Yuh probably getting that when they come to 'install' it.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 21, 2009, 05:14:03 PM »

Oh HELL no. TSTT making too much money as is, even with the advent of Flow. Remember, there are a LOT of areas
that Flow haven't reached up to now, so TSTT is taking their sweet time even now to meet/beat Flow's current pricing.

I really don't expect a like-minded approach on TSTT's part. Why do that when they could charge us more?

if yu lucky infact, you take out a 6 meg business package, and they bump you up to 9 megs freee

tstt could go blow a volcano yes

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #8 on:** September 22, 2009, 04:35:03 PM »

Netizen, if you don't need the static IP address, would flow give you the residential package at a business location?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2010, 11:48:27 PM »

OK, so I'm SERIOUSLY considering 'going with the Flow', due to TSTT's shenanigans over the last month.

I can only afford the 2MB package at the moment.

I need feedback...as to how good this works for the online games I am known to play,
on PC, XBL, and PSN. Also, some feedback about availability/uptime.

Lets hear it. Yea or nay.

Should Arcmanov go with the Flow?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2010, 12:39:57 AM »

the only thing that bothers me on flow is the crappy youtube video streaming performance. It streams like a dial up modem.

games and downloads are fantastic.

I am on the 10mb package for $349.00 but my speedtest (to venezuela) reports something very different.

speedtest to flow is of course, off the chart, for the download at least. The upload is VERY WEAK. You will feel this if you do any kinda heavy uploading (aka torrents). I have to limit my upload to 17k so that it won't saturate the entire upstream.

They advertise 1mb upload but in reality I am getting more like 256k

Hope this helps.

I can't lie my flow connection was f'ing up the first fee weeks speeds were mediocre and the tech had a real condescending tone when you talked to them. the problem seemed to fix itself and i could not have been happier, i used that flow connection to host a NAS/TorrentBOX which i used to upload and download files from here in NY, the flow connection never failed it was always up and running.

PS. F u T&TEC yuh blow out meh F'ing PSU hold yuh MC and Yuh DUTTY ELECTRICITY.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:05:06 AM »

Lol @ t&tec busy blow out.

What your speedtest results looking like now slaming and what package you on?

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2010, 12:18:29 PM »

i'm on the 10mb package, not in trini at the moment so i can't perform a speedtest.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:07:58 PM »

Well well.....

Called Flow this morning, and they called me back a while ago to tell me that they coming to install
on the 25th (Thursday). Now, if THAT aint service, I don't know what is.

Free installation too. Gad-damn.

...and I didn't incur any penalty charges by deactivating my TSTT blink account either.

So, hopefully I'll be back on the Battlefield by weekend.

I find of late Flow is being VERY retarded in terms of bandwidth to the rest of the world.

I mean look at this...

In the earlies things were MUCH better than this. Youtube USED to stream videos properly what up?!

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2010, 05:06:03 PM »

At least you getting your 1mb upload.

A little birdie told me that TSTT bought out Flow but I can't confirm.
