Blink | Bmobile launches 4G LTE high speed data

[redmanjp]

@redmanjp you may not be able to as the network is being piggy-backed right now you will notice your device has one IP and your public IP is different because of this your device doesnt actually see the internet so to speak. I am not sure if they are going to sort this out when the teething issues are over but more than likely person using this service for DVRs etc will not be able to hit their devices via public IPs etc. I am hoping they introduce some static ips sim or equivalent to address this.

BTW am in Chaguanas and i am getting 3 bars max reverted to my Wimax device for the time being.

so they didn't shut off wimax by u then?

the wimax device used to have a public IP but this LTE device have some 10.x.x.x IP- i wonder if they have everybody sharing 1 public IP

No the Wimax is on a phased disconnection approach, guess i am unaffected for now, but the day will come when its disconnected and i need to turn on the next box.

You are correct in your statement which is what i was explaining above the 10.x.x.x ip is probably being NAT-ed to another network hence no pings tracerts nothing. Lastly yes if memory serves me correct my then public ip was ending with 92.

Voice/data coming soon.

WiMAX already switched off in Port of Spain and users are being migrated to LTE.

I would like to know WHEN is it coming to customers in the East? I have been waiting patiently for TTPost to deliver the new box and nothing! Since the ending of November I was informed to to to Arima branch with the old WiMAX box to have it upgraded and was told by a very rude counter attendant that I have to wait for TTPost to deliver this 'new ' box. I am totally fed up with their short comings! Please, CAN SOMEONE HELP those individuals who are suffering the same fate as me? I sincerely doubt that I am the only person in Trinidad who is going through this ordeal. I have no Internet access since before Christmas and I am refusing to pay an Internet bill for nothing. I am using a neighbor's computer to check my emails, I don't want to continue being an inconvenience because Bmobile cannot get their act or services in order. Thank you.

Now understand that it stands to reason that while the migration of WiMax customers to LTE capable modems is taking place via TTPOST right now, receiving a LTE capable modem does not mean you will get LTE speeds unless you are in an LTE area, which at the moment is just Port of Spain and Tobago.

They are migrating all the WiMax customers first and also setting up LTE on more towers around the country, but it has to be done on both ends.

Getting the new device from TTPOST does not mean you will get LTE speeds in Arima until Arima gets LTE provisioned towers.

Can we expect 100mbps speeds on this LTE system like that of USA?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Can we expect 100mbps speeds on this LTE system like that of USA?

who offers that?

Test taken in August 2014

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

hmm interesting. could swear I read 100mbps somewhere or was that the theoretical speed of LTE that I read? could be just that

Understood. So, does that mean that even though customers who receive these new Wimax devices still cannot access the Internet?

[NR8]

@ redman i dont have ttpost in my area either but a courier van brought it to my house oh but a friend of mine went in to a front office Arima or St. Augustine an had his changed an upgrded i wont be able to say if its now 5GB or 5GPps as iam at work until Tuesday, ill be able to shed some light on the topic when i actually get the device in hand

Any updates?

[rookie]

Yea so I got in hand an took it back to the st.augstine brAnch they upgraded the box from a 1gbps to a 5gbpss it cost 270$ per month now it's faster you tube doesn't stick anymore I got 15 plus devices on that box will post speeds soon

[S_2NR]

The benchmark is "YouTube doesn't stick anymore" bmobile yes

[rookie]

Yeah real pain with TSTT in the past so that's my benchmark but it's hooked up to a air express 1imac 1macbookpro 3 smart tvs 6 smart phones 5 iPads an Some other crap so when everyone's on its still works well

$270 per month is without contract?

[rookie]

Nah with contract I had it for a year already it's a year to year contract

[pete]

5 GB a month for $270?

You could get 15gb on a Digi mifi hotspot for that..

[rookie]

I'll check Digicel no hurt in checking @ Pete

[shaneelal]

5 GB a month for $270?

You could get 15gb on a Digi mifi hotspot for that..

Believe it may be 5Mbps for his download speed, not sure if it's unlimited internet access.

[pete]

If it's unlimited then that's a great price for 5mbps.

you can access the internet, just not at LTE speeds.

Just like your phone that has 4G capability, if you are in a remote or congested area you may only get 3G speed or worse, Edge or GPRS, because that is what the nearest cell tower can give you.

Somebody do a speed test please to miami

[redmanjp]

Somebody do a speed test please to miami

this is weird, wit the LTE MODEM IN 3G mode I'm getting this:



but in 4G/LTE mode:



i did a few tests for each to make sure it wasn't just random

so 3G is faster than LTE? wtf? or is something wrong with my account?

[S_2NR]

Lol at those speeds

In Cleaver Heights (not far from u) the wimax signal was cut off about 3-4 weeks ago- we had received a letter from TSTT telling us to come in to get the new LTE modem- so I think u should go in to them and ask for it- I got mine at West Mall branch cuz Arima, St. Augustine & Part St. POS branches didn't have any.

u mean 5Mb?

and what device do u have? can u ping websites cuz i can't

[shiv2111]

Couva checking in here.

Got mine from ttpost yesterday. However not getting any signal. So I am assuming that they have not reached my area as yet for the rollout.

Will call Blink to confirm.
