steups, why dese people continue to make tstt look good steupsssssssssssss

[Cross]

the $690 is for what the whole package?

If so fyah fee them direct tv and tstt.....dial up....lines....

[Heady]

they know tstt cheaper rite?

but then again tstt could always lower dey price and it wont matter to them, Flow might not b in the same situation.

[Crixx_Creww]

dis isnt even about prices

there products SUCK in comparison to tstt as well as in comparison to what flow offers on the other islands

its ridiculous!! Broadband with hourly AND data transfer charges? WTF!!!

75 meg limit on a flikkin broadband connection omg how horrible!!

[DreadNaught]

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?

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 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?

[disciple]

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..

[Crixx_Creww]

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

[Arcmanov]

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*

[Paul]

ah boy, this really disappointing to hear...
i was really looking forward to something at least equivalent to what tstt offers, but this just ridiculous.

[Spazosaurus]

lol 75 is one file? Lol by the time u spend half hour on youtue, that done. Hopefully this man wrong about these rates cuz damn it i want a connection faster than this 512!!!!

[TriniXaeno]

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.

[Nephilim]

i wait a year to hear that....

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

[Saxito Pau]

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?
