Was about to suggest this. If your business is in the cloud it would be wise to have 2 connections. Especially with software such as NCR silver and lightspeed POS systems

forum rules state no business complaints,

consider this my official review after having this service for the past few months.

service went down today again, from around 8:30 am and its now 9PM and still down.

after contacting digicel I was told their was a break in the cable and several customers in cunupia were affected and it should be up soon. I asked for someone to call me when the service was up. I waited until 2 pm and called for an update, I was told by a rep that they emailed me on the status. Now I don't have any internet so I don't know why they would email me with an update. Instead I provided my cell no. and they txt me to let me know the service would be up by 5pm. Its now 9pm and I just received another txt saying the broken cable has been replaced but they are still splicing.

This morning I asked again for a rep to be assigned to my account. Yesterday I sent a long email to digicel corporate outlining my issues. Last week I called in and left a request for a new rep. No response on anything. A digicel employee on the forums here even messaged me offering assistance, but no call from anyone yet.

and I'm on the digicel metro fibre connection, which is supposed to be their most reliable connection.


Throughout today I tried calling flow to reconnect my flow modem. Their PBX was down. I went on their fb page and sent messages, eventually I was contacted by a rep and had my service up.
So I'm using flow at the moment. I have decided to switch to flow permanently, it will cost more and I may get the same level of customer service but at least it would be less downtime :|

them aint serious shaq, I'm taking my business elsewhere

I took this "cloud PBX" based on the fact I can get mobile access.
I'm travelling for the 4th time today since I had this PBX and still don't have access to my phones while I'm out.

all requests, calls and emails are never returned.

one time they promised a free roaming plan because they didn't sort me out in time, when I travel and came back I was charged in full. When I let them know they say they would reimburse me, I was never reimbursed.

on the other hand, its back up this morning with this speed. check the upload

Explains a lot. The compound I live in for nearly 2 years flow had been giving trouble for a connection. Few weeks ago 4 vans and a bunch of technicians making sure there are enough connections for a everyone at the main entry point. Guess they actually were just afraid digicel got in before them.

seriously? $450 you have to pay upfront? hmmmmm

I go wait and hear reviews first cause I only recently pay flow $250 for installation. I was hoping you could get Digicel free installation and equipment if I took a 1 year contract or something.

^ IF Flow starts to work good because of people switching to Digicel then I may stick with flow. But I need to get reviews from tuners before I switch. Need to know more about down time and disconnects with Digicel before I switch. If its the same problems like flow then it would make no sense spending $450 for no reason.

25MB is too much speed for me, 5MB is just fine. All I care about is uptime so lets see how well this works when the whole country goes online.

Well I eh see myself going back to TSTT paying $200 for 1MB when Digicel is 25MB

1MB don't cut it in this day and age, HOWEVER there lies the chance that since Digicel will have huge coverage it is POSSIBLE that TSTT will offer better deals on their DSL.

But it looks like I will be switching to Digicel I don't see them failing as hard as flow disconnecting every 10 minutes.
