Flow blocks out pirates

ERIC SMITH,
Added 28 February 2016


C&W operates as Flow Barbados.

SOME BARBADIANS had a torrid time media streaming this past week. Others are likely to experience similar frustration in the coming days. They all are watching programming illegally on North American television channels.

Cable & Wireless (Barbados) Limited has blocked the content not legally available in this country.

“We wish to reiterate that C&W does not monitor what a customer accesses on the Internet, nor do we know what they are watching,” the telecommunications company said in a statement yesterday. “We are simply preventing unauthorised content from entering the region on our networks.”

C&W, which operates as Flow Barbados, said it supported, where appropriate and legal, open access to Internet-based Over-The-Top (OTT) applications – basically online television service providers who bypass traditional distributors.

So flow just took out H2 and replaced it with some bs rap documentary station

After having acquired a 10% stake in the company in August 2014, A&E Networks announced on November 3, 2015 that H2 would be replaced by Viceland, a new lifestyle-focused network programmed by Vice Media. H2 signed off on February 29, 2016 at 6:00 a.m. ET, being replaced by pre-launch programming for Viceland. The H2 brand will continue to be used on international networks.

[brickman]

Thing normal here,what kinda sh!tty area allyuh living jed?

[J453]

I eh know what Flow hitting people with this "upgrade" nah. 15Mbps used to work real good, getting reliable and consistent speeds whole day. Upgrade now to 30 and from around 7-8pm to around midnight speed is absolute rubbish. And when I say rubbish ping over 500 and download speeds sometimes less than 1Mbps, never more than 5 or 6.

Called them today for the tech to tell me how happy he was that I called to report the problem and that he will be happy to help. He said that my modem had an old unstable firmware version and that he will send an upgrade that should rectify the problem within 15 mins or so. Guess what happening tonight? Same fackin chit! Ping not as atrocious as before but download speed still ~1Mbps. Can't even get a proper steady stream with a wired connection. Flow allyuh take win yes. /rant

Same rubbish I was experiencing.

upgrade to 30MB and then every night the speeds were limited to 1MB.

So I switch back to 3MB and Viola problem solved. Then I switch back to 30MB and just like that I get put on this magical 1MB package.

I switch back to 3MB and I getting 3MB constant.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

One thing I wanna find out when I am playing a youtube video this connection does always max out. And when it does the pings does go real high.

Never had this issue with DSL, is this a natural thing with DOCSIS?

[WarrLordd]

Let's all ditch flow on the same day na they go feel it same way they does ditch paying customers proper service

[dartzreunion]

Over 3 months of shitty service for everyone in my area , technicians come like 8 times and test the line and say its area issue but they can't seem to fix it. Full bill keep coming every month..shame it have no other service provider to switch to.

[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

Have the 30 MB package in Central and same frustration , have already booked with other provider for improved internet connection.
