With Flow, users in different parts of the country experience varying levels of latency. Where I live in Port of Spain, latency has remained unacceptably high for FPS gaming purposes, despite my many pleas to the company, many of which have made its way high up the ladder but to this day falls upon deaf ears.As can be seen, GATT has a good relationship with Flow and vice versa. Both organizations do good work in promoting online gaming in Trinidad but sadly, Flow is TERRIBLE for gaming in some areas, St Agustine I understand is even worse than what I have personally experienced. I've switched back to TSTT 2Mbit connection about 3 years now and experience vastly better latency than I got while with Flow.Of course, your issue may not be related to the service itself. As such, I urge you to do some testing on www.pingtest.net at different times of the day. Observe results, ensuring that no one else is using the connection while testing. This will tell you all you need to know about its gaming capabilities.Luckily, TSTT's DSL is available to pick up the slack in cases where Flow's service is unacceptable.

With flow my downloads always worked fine. Judging by that criteria alone, flow worked great but latency was absolute shit.Also, St Agustine big. Just like my area, people further down the road own working fine but me, if it wasnt for TSTT, I could do absolutely no online gaming.......
