Flow Internet Thread

I dunno but during peak hours... My neighbor's 2mb blink does cut my ass cuz he has better ping and less lag

I am a little skeptical here, how does he cut your ass? I'm guessing your talking about gaming here, what games? what servers?

From what I've seen so far Flow has better latency to most servers than Blink's ADSL service.

[whatever_]

Because blink internet is dedicated internet. The technologies used to provide the services are different. Pay for 10mb with blink, you're going to get 10mb. Your flow bandwidth fluctuates based on the usage in the neighbourhood. I only see 75mbps speeds at 2am in Belmont area. Outside of that, it's anywhere between 27-40.

In theory this is true. Reality, however, is that it's TSTT we dealing with. Poor service is the norm. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has used Blink ADSL service and have experienced poor speeds during peak hours.

Anyway, 27-40 is still greater than what Blink broadband offering right now at 10mb for the average person who want to max their connection.

TSTT on bs as usual with this pay $600 for 10mb.

I had no problem in Point Fortin with Blink besides the price. Speed was always constant. During peak times however, my newly upgraded "75Mbps" FLOW connection maxes out @ 20-30Mbps on speedtest...not really a problem, except if I pay for 75, I want 75. The only reason I have the 75 is for peak time.

BF4 and AW on Ps4 and we tested it simple by being hosts for game modes, when he hosts everyone(local and foreign) is fine with 3-4 bars... But then I host, 1 bar

Interesting. Your PS4 not using wifi by any chance?

try changing the wifi channel on the router and see if that helps

There are apps like WiFi Analyzer which show the current channels being utilized by the WiFi networks in the area.

That way it will make it easier for you to determine which one is free/less crowded, and to utilize that channel.

[dredman1]

EDIT - just came back up as I typed that

[R-H-D]

Decided to give up on Flow internet after their upgrades service got worst
CSR always making sorry excuses for their terrible service
Can wait for Blink to roll out GPON in my area this year
End of year I will disconnect their video service also

[konartis]

Doubt blink would be better than flow

[R-H-D]

well my 4mbs Blink runs much better than my 50mbs from flow

[VLDS]

If anyone who complaining about flow Internet dropping AND u have a flow WiFi modem. That's most likely your problem. Change to the normal modem and buy a good router. I have flow Internet for 2 years with a linksys router and normal modem. Never dropped except when a truck buss down the line.

[gastly369]

^^ X2 what he said flow WiFi modem is balls

Pumpin Linksys with ddwrt .. Level pace

[M_2NR]

^x3

Flow modem, personal router setup here and mostly pumpments. Only last night I feel the local cache of google servers were acting up a bit as I only got 2mbit. Works now though.

[R-H-D]

I had the regular Data modem off course the Flow wifi router/modem is crap
Point is I got fed up ever since they switch to Docsis 3 modems is issues
Will settle with my 4MBS from Blink till they roll out GPON in maraval later this year
