100mb was ever worth it for gaming?

the package you have has no effect on latency. thats a placebo you are experiencing.

I know that there is not suppose to be any difference in latency but just from the experience my latency (ping) used to be in 25ms - 60ms, on bad days I used to see 80ms tops. now its just gotten worse.

anyway, flow is sheit and doesnt give a sheit about their obligation to customers in this country because trinis take whatever they get. i heard flow is cheaper and more competitive in Jamaica and im guessing its simply because people there dont take their sheit.

I agree 100% with this.

all i have is internet from these idiots and i does have enough trouble with that alone. i could imagine you. directv>flow for cable if you cut put up with some spanish subs.
everything else is xbmc, netflix, hulu.

but i agree downgrade/cancel the service if u not happy.

Same here I built a full HTPC system (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, hell even Spotify streaming through the house) to start phasing out Flow, but old habits die hard.

This was my second downgrade, from 100 to 50, now 30 starting to look for an alternative. I had blink for the office but it was a major disappointment, had too much downtime. Unfortunately flow was the better of the two at the time, don't think I can say that again.

Other than the price, i never had anything negative to say about Blink.

[kerwinishere]

So idk nah, maybe a 3 year old router was the problem....bought a new E900 (shitty but it still newer than the old one and its an N router) working a lot better now but still not getting what I paying for

best u go down to 10 and done.
i had 30 and tell them it works like sheit and to take it back. during peak hours it bogged down. it got so bad i knew which days of the wk it would frig up because everyone was on.

this same kind of sheit is why i had bmobile "4g" for two months then cut it off clean.
most services in this country do not work like they should and i end up saving alot of money, i dont have the patience

This.

Had their wired connection for about a year and a half and no issues service wise. Always get the advertised speed, and the one time I had BLINK go down was because someone sabotaged the wiring in the area and was back up within the next day.

Digital FLOW is coming to Point Fortin now, but based on the horror stories I read in here on nearly a daily basis, gonna wait a bit and get some reviews 1st since my only problem is that I pay ~$350 for a 4mb package.

[Cross Blood]

^ Why aren't you paying $194 for 4mb?

[hustla_ambition101]

Blink is no walk in the park either. Almost everyday my modem drops connection and i have to reset it about 10 times before it goes back to normal

[kerwinishere]

The facts:
When flow wukkin it wukkin
Blink always working but it too expensive and slow
Flow unreliable at times but you still get good enough speeds for a good price

[Cross Blood]

Flow working up to mark now. Was very slow during the day. I still prefer Flow over Blink when it comes to reliability. Its going into a year since I have Flow internet and I only had one major drop in connection. They took about 2-3 days to solve it. Compared to Blink where I had several connection drops and fluctuating speeds. Always had to reset Blink's modem to get full speed.

[S_2NR]

Back in the day when flow started at 2mb down it used to work real good. Better and more reliable than now that it's 10

[Trini Hookah]

Yup with my 2mb, but in a party it was lag for everyone. 10mb worked well depending on game.

3rd world gaming ftl :/

Think you have to sign a contract with Blink for two years and you get that price
Not sure if they still have the offer available
Would recommend using your own modem with Blink better than the crap equipment they provide

may just take your advice, this is the speeds this morning, to their server. Need I say more.

[metalgear2095]

So blink > flow for gaming? anything flow is better for?

[Cross Blood]

^ Why aren't you paying $194 for 4mb?

Where I getting 4mb for $194?

Yeah they had an offer. You need to sign a contract for 2 years. If you choose to discontinue with the contract within the 2 years, you need to pay close to $500 for a disconnection and return the modem.

[mojosodope]

Considering switching from my Flow 50 package to one of the columbus business solutions (flow business) package.

All I want to know if there is any benefit to doing such performance/reliability wise and would they still throttle during peak hours..

[S_2NR]

a whole set of people on flows facebook pg complaining that flow blocking alot of primetime shows on cable. well yes. i didnt even know that. so long i cut that sheit.
how much sheit trinis will swallow before they stop paying for sheit? they should do a study on the tolerance of trinis yes

Just got some information from a DTV agent, and she is saying that that they are negotiating to carry a lot of those programs on alternative channels, Sony and something else. But what they have over Flow is permission to carry all their channels, which it sound as though more channels and shows will be blocked by Flow.

I can't remember the company before flow, but i remember DTV complaining since years ago about their broadcasting of channels that they had rights for. But we were deemed small and with a limited install base for them to run it down. Things change now.

Once i getting most of the football i glad though. But streaming is the best alternative, which bings the main problem and reason for this ched.
When flow fackin up they fackin up bad. Internet that is.

[tr1ad]

Any channel subsequent to the broadcast channel will be delayed, I rather stay up to date on meh grey's anatomy
