Digicel started installing the small black boxes to the cables they ran 2 months ago....might be launching in my area soon, not sure.

Hey guys, this might be slightly off topic, but for those who have gotten Digicel and run a PLEX server, have you gotten the plex server to work remotely?

In Bamboo? (per your profile)

Please everyone: If you are going to post 'not available' or 'available' messages, they are USELESS to everyone else unless you tell us WHERE YOU ARE, except for people who know you personally.

When you get the modem only port 1 and 4 will be for internet use only, port 2 ,3 are for cable also you will have to call them to open port 4 since it comes lock . I `ll say this if you have a router make sure it can push out the required bandwidth, here is an example is the speed with my netgear router Image and the speed with my Linksys AC1900 http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5031164530

Does digicel have an online payment system in place like flow? Guys using the service how do you pay, just go to head office or the outlets?

Spoke to a rep but he wasn't sure if the online payment system up. Hooking up Saturday with them, but having to physically go & pay every month is ah scn.

Massy rel fail with these 1990s looking graphic design and unclear confusing information.

Are those prices VAT inclusive? Is the 'discount' applied already or will I be paying less than the specified price?

Anyway, those prices not that great in my opinion. Digicel Play - 87 Channels, 25Mbps/5Mbps - $349 (VAT inc).....

Or 142 channels with 50Mbps/10Mbps, $599 per month.....that's comparable to Massy's oddly priced $765 package which is marginally better at 50Mbps/25Mbps and 153 channels, but $166 more!! WTF.....

massy now get in the game. they wont be able to compete against flow. matter of fact they are probably piggybacking on flow/opus infrastructure.

i am quicker to see this massy venture, as something they created for private interest. the prices arent meant to be competitive. what they will do is have their own maximal internet isp network for a special market they already have in their pocket. the general public will just help them to pay their bills but in the apex of the plan. they are now in control of and have access to a fully uncapped internet service that, by the pricing scheme will serve reaaaaall power and speed to its small and upper class members.

it is basically like, going straight to the distributor to buy goods instead of the supermarket. u instantly cut out a 15% to 30% middleman fee of markup plus vat. resulting in reduced cost to you with higher effectiveness in the non-reliance of a 3rd party for service. whilst also gaining the ability to be a resseller and make profits on a resource u would usually be paying for.

You might be actually right, their links within corporate trinidad run deep. But I can't for the life of my understand their pricing, unless of course their network capacity is limited and don't want the average 'poor' consumer bogging down the network......very TSTT way of doing business
