Cause the biggest problem with TSTT is not they prices, cause dey do offer good prices for their products, but quality of service. So new competitors in de market cant compete wid TSTT price wise but quality wise.
So people really hadda stop thinking with the notion that competition gwan be cheaper. They hadda stop and look at the service instead. But the sad thing is like all de people coming in on de same level or worse than TSTT. And if something a cent more Trinbagonians ent buying?

 That is crazy , you sure you didn't get wrong info? I knew flow's internet service was going to be bad cause of sat backbone, but i didn't think they could make it worse...

 256k for unlimited but 512 for a 75mb package? What sense it make?

75 megs?/ my browser's cache bigger than that..
nah man.. they hadda come better


now thinking..
will this give tstt the impetus to up to 512?

cuz i mean, the other providers can't say they being unfair to the competition, cuz the competition is offering it..

what they are doing is the broadband equivalent of tstt's dial up service

where you pay a fee for 20 hours, and then yu pay several arms and legs extra for anytime you use past your 20 hours.

And of course the reason for the 512k for the limited package, is to almost ENSURE that you go over your alloted 75 meg limit.

The residential is not even 256k son, according to the info its 64k lol thats so disgustingly bad its not funny.


This i guess is evidence of their less than adequate sat backbone

its disgusting
borderline worst than green dot

Steuuuppssss.  75 MB is ONE FILE!!!
Flow OBVIOUSLY did not do their homework.

Those prices are just straight ASS!!!
I will NOT be 'going with the FLOW' anytime soon.

I actually have to say 'thank Buddha for TSTT' yes.  *bows*

I really really really hoping that they got the figures mixed up yes.

unfortunately the flow website has no further info.

"coming soon" iwmc.

If these numbers are for real, this will flop...big time. Like a man just say....75MB is less than your browser cache, lol

Had such high hopes based on the Jamaica figures.

Anyways, maybe when they get their terrestrial link, they will put down some proper packages.

I agree with Baego here... Let's hope the terrestrial link will up the ante

Flow will stay right there...This is the most disappointing news I have heard today. Ev-Do for me on de road.. DSL at home, yes!

just today I download 3DMark05 demo @ 280MB!!

I hope the bastards will at LEAST provide some kinds of bandwidth usage tool, if people actually make use of this 'limited hours' service

but with this in mind is the cable network even available in all areas yet? Anyone have any updates on the digital cable service upgrades?
