^ OMG thanks dude.

That is unbelievable!!!

[Vinnny]

Got this earlier to Miami. Pretty impressive.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^ Thats not a glitch? How is that possible? given the distance and speed of light in a fiber optic line etc?

yeah I have SFV on Steam aswell.

The thing is SFV works fine even on crappy connections, because its modern Roll Back Netcode.

I think ultimately I will have to wait for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite for the modern Roll Back Netcode.

I wonder how come TSTT never bothered to roll out FTTH?

Yes some will say they have, but I am not talking about a gimmick and lies I mean a real FTTH like Digicel did around the whole country where everybody can have access.

I've seen one installation of tstt Ftth it looks to be fiber to a box outside the house and a battery backup inside but like internet through phone line like dsl.
I'm in Tobago now, stayed at to different Apartments and both have Digicel. I still have flow home. Digicel play Internet works well,but the TV audio goes up and down. But picture is perfect.

[Sarcasm]

Hey, can someone do a speed test on Digicel Play to a server in Chicago, Illinois please & thanks. Also does anyone know when Digicel Play will be available in Penal?

Digicel's 25/15 package

You seem to be describing FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) commonly used by telcos with a lot of copper in the ground especially in the "last mile".

That is totally different from FTTH where the fibre runs all the way into the home. I believe TSTT concentrated on Lange Park and Signature Park for FTTH service originally.

1. Digicel did not complete the roll-out of Play Nationwide. They have a Phase 2 and Phase 3 that have TBD completion dates.

2. TSTT would have to scrap existing copper lines. Unless the end user is consuming data above 200Mbps, ADSL2 works fine. There is a new standard that is being developed called G.fast that replaces ADSL2 and offers speeds of up to 1 Gbps over a telephone line. That makes the need for FTTH a costly mistake if you already have copper.

Most of TSTT's backbone is and has been fiber-optic for some time.

Only have Digicel play 25/15 two weeks and it already worse than Flow.

This video shows what happens on both wifi mobile devices and wired pc

Digicel said they are "forwarding it to technical" but I have little confidence. I even gave up using my ddwrt router for their ipv6 sheit. Every port I want opened I have to call and request.. and then it seems like a bunch of customers share the same public v4 ip. Sad thing is my coworker explained this exact browsing problem he also has and I didnt listen.

Torrents and other downloads seems to be ok. I feel that digicel has some iffy caching server on their end that is causing problems since it doesnt seem like it is a speed issue.

I don't think anybody uses 200MB internet or even has a need for more than 60mb

The big benefit of Fiber for me is latency, I have Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator which uses Delay Based Netcode. This means there is 5 frames of lag when playing with someone from say New York. This is GOOD but not Great, there is very slight delay when you press a button. Now my ping from here to NY is 100ms so this means 100ms = 5F lag

With Digicel Fiber the ping would be like 80ms so that means with Digicel there will be no delay and it will work like if the game is offline and the player is in the same room as you. Imagine with Digicel the frame delay would be 3F instead of 5 its like connecting to Florida with FLow.

Now west coast USA the frame delay is 7F delay. This starts to become annoying and you can actually see the delay and feel it aswell just think with Digicel Fiber you would get 5F delay across West Coast and only very slight delay almost like offline.

I really cannot understand how the last mile copper with Flow can introduce a whopping 25ms latency.

Soon as this Flow 60mb deal finishes I will switch to Digicel hopefully it works out. Right now I pay $195 for 60mb with Flow was some deal they had on GATT last year

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Can you guys with Digicel tell me what ping you get to California? it can be LA or anywhere preferably comcast server

[Arcmanov]

No Comcast server in the lineup.
