take care allyuh gettin a nex forced upgrade to *steamline* services followed by a price increase in coming months, as per flow modus operandi

well the other guys done do it , so only a matter of time .....

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

The prices will go up as nobody cares to take cable tv anymore.

Trinis will be paying an estimated $600 a month for internet in the coming years, it will be bundled with "free cable TV" that NOBODY wants.

Hopefully Elon Musk can save us with StarLink by then

[brickman]

Well was on 60 for $320,then got the 100 upgrade they did a while back for the same price.Now they put me in the 250 package without saying anything but account still says 100mbps,if they change my $320 to anything significantly more i will downgrade to to the 75mbps & they will lose $.Lets see how much more "loyal & vip customer" phone calls & emails they will send me after.

75/10 - $275
250/15 - $450
500/25 - $675

with the other scammers its 75/75 for 299
:\

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

The Digicel Scam is a slightly better scam since its FTTH and u get some useless channels you will never watch

[gastly369]

75/75 not a scam at all... Uploads at 75 will be good and full fiber network... I wouldn't call that scam infront flow

[dean_spleen09]

75/75 started as 25/25 for $199 and is gonna be 75/75 for $350 by the end of the year.
stay woke bros.

I think for them to compensate for the loss of cable TV that nobody besides boomers watch anymore they are going to likely change their 75mb/$300 package to something like 300MB/$500

Reason is they know most people are never going to ever have use for those speeds and will always be using below what they pay for in terms of data.

But for this country the future is something like $500 for the cheapest internet package once the boomers go the way of the dodo and literally nobody pays for Cable TV anymore. The problem on the side with Flow is they always bankrupt in huge debt and it makes you wonder if this is a issue due to them not charging enough for internet or just simply overpaid staff at management and top and wastage of funds etc

For the white modem, you can access the settings using 192.168.0.1.
I disabled the router function. So the modem is going into a 3rd party wireless router.
Even though I can ping the gateway which is the modem, I now cannot access the settings. Any advice?

[maj. tom]

192.168.100.1
Unplug the coaxial cable first or else you will just keep getting a message about customer service using the modem.

Thanks.

Flow Ultra.. peak or regular hours speeds on a given day . Maybe got that 100mbs once

[Dizzy28]

Flow Basix
Just finish watch 2 episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events in 1080p whilst my son was on his Tab.

What do you all do with all that extra speed?

smh

Testing via Redmi note 8 op... Test have been done via desktop and via technician from Flow . No logical explanation was given ... Plus I'm a technician for a competitor so I have an idea what I'm doing .. just sharing

[fred1266]

sharing what exactly?

[Ted_v2]

experiencing a issue, finally figured it out.

My system is like this, flow wifi router to my viewmax wifi router as a expander VIA WIFI, all my devices go through this viewmax router, both wired and wireless.

after about 30 mins of hard usage, csgo, division 2, torrents at full tilt on my pc (wired) i start to get a drop in bandwidth, connection drops off in the games ect, boiled down to my flow router getting hot, as i put a lasko on it, back to normal, seems like a passively cooled unit . If i use it without gaming, no issues, i get almost 60up and 15 down speed on a flow basic package at my final device. No issues doing regular stuff.

So its just as simple as getting a wired connection from the flow router to my viewmax router( acting as a expander) est 50 ft or so without getting a switch or changing my equipment much. My pc is already connected wired to the viewmax, some advice i got was that one of the ports on the flow router can support gigabit, so this can run that long connection to the expander thus taking load off the flow router.

Im looking to add a NAS to this system soon enough, looking to get this issue rectified.

also those cabled connections into the plugs, powerline ethernet starter kit, how can i know for sure if its going to work, i know some needs to be on the same phase?

never had an issue with cheap tplink powerline in normal household electrical installs, it only becomes problem with 3 phase, i used it flawless in apartment where landlord had router upstairs but wifi was terrible downstairs. D bigger problem is d quality of d installation can greatly affect performance.
Best solution is to put FLOW router in modem mode and let your viewmax router do all NAT, WIFI, LAN etc as FLOW modem performance drops off dramatically when asked to do anything extra (i.e. more than one wired and wireless device connected)

[bossmann]

Correct. Remember that the Flow router is primarily a modem with an added perk. Whenever possible go with a dedicated router.

[Ted_v2]

did some research and discovered that, just need to run the cable, its a short distance, nothing to crazy.

Brother you and RedVevo is family ? All I was doing was sharing my issues atm with the provider.... So I appreciate your concern . Happy Easter to you OP.

Flow modem does have a dedicated router as suggested by some of you guys . But unfortunately working atm so when time permits would see what is the solution and provide an update .

[maj. tom]

Thanks for sharing the information on the speeds. They're always helpful. But he is saying that since everyone is home and accessing everything on the internet at every hour, the nodes are overloaded. The infrastructure is not there to handle this kind of load the entire world has been experiencing since the lockdown. Most websites are noticeably slower too like Twitter, Reddit, BBC, CNN, etc. There's nothing anyone at home can do about the slower speeds, and only getting 25Mbps on a 100Mbps connection.

Hopefully when this is over, telecoms will realize the need to push the next generation of internet connectivity and invest in the upgrades.
