Blink | Bmobile launches 4G LTE high speed data

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Keep in mind that LTE is only available in Tobago and in Port of Spain at the moment.

[rookie]

right lol so @ Duane what are those new boxes they giving out they not running LTE yet but just a upgraded 4G something

[pete]

They would probably only get LTE in POS or Tobago but will also be able to get HSPA+ in other areas to get Faux-G

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

right lol so @ Duane what are those new boxes they giving out they not running LTE yet but just a upgraded 4G something

they are migrating their WiMax to LTE, you can still use your upgraded device but you will not get LTE speeds unless you are connected to a cell tower that provides LTE i.e. Tobago and POS at the moment.
Just as with 4G, if there is no 4G signal then the service drops to Edge or GPRS

To the people that have gotten letters from TSTT or spoken to reps about your WiMax modem being replaced with LTE devices, what locations are you all in? I have a WiMax router but received no such communication.

My in your pocket hotspot stopped working Friday, went in and got it swapped with a Huawei. Same speed but new device works better than before as the old device dropped frequently and required a reboot.

What's your location though? Seems like only customers in the north are being upgraded atm, like Duane and pete said about PoS.

Charleiville. Closer to Munroe Road side.

I done with blink yes.

Everyday, no net when I home.

Tried calling, no answer from phone.

Tried Facebook, can't post on their wall.

F**k away with them yes. Can't even call them to tell them disconnect me.

Oh cool. Hoping they spread the Christmas cheer to south lol.
I really found my WiMax was working better than normal the last week or so. Maybe it's because the network is now less congested?

what if you go in personally? any flow in your area?

We really need another ISP in this country. Can't believe how useless our TATT is, people there either corrupt or just there for the money, absolutely no excuse for not having a 3rd ISP by now a real ISP that is.

[nervewrecker]

Go frustrate myself in a line when all this could be done over a phone call?

Yes we have flow, iS best we bump up the speed here and have one ISP in the house yes.

Fs: Cisco router

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Then flow would be the solution. If TSTT giving so much problems I suggest you dump that sheit asap and take flow.

Its a no brainer, why pay $700 TT a month for 10MB from TSTT when flow has it for $199

bmobile? 4G LTE?

This. Bmobile data is a waste.
Getting this option on my phone all of a sudden..

[rookie]

i got my box yesterday afternoon TTPOST delivered it will be taken into the TSTT front office to upgrade to the 5GB package

[redmanjp]

i got my box yesterday afternoon TTPOST delivered it will be taken into the TSTT front office to upgrade to the 5GB package

wait ttpost delivering it? i got a letter to come in to tstt! ttpost not in my area (Cleaver Heights, Arima)

also u mean 5Gbps or is it limited to 5GB of data downloaded? bcuz HSPA is limited to that, which i hope we doh have to rely on if they cut wimax without turning on LTE

[rookie]

@ redman i dont have ttpost in my area either but a courier van brought it to my house oh but a friend of mine went in to a front office Arima or St. Augustine an had his changed an upgrded i wont be able to say if its now 5GB or 5GPps as iam at work until Tuesday, ill be able to shed some light on the topic when i actually get the device in hand

[redmanjp]

Well they cut me Wednesday - my mom went to change the dongle at Arima branch but she said it had over 100 ppl there so we have to go back there some other time or go St. Augustine

I really hope this lte not limited to 5gb data because that's a real downgrade from wimax which was always unlimited - we have no lines in my area so we depend solely on wireless internet

[redmanjp]

anyone know if TSTT on Park St. POS have any devices?

[K74T]

Call them and ask.

[redmanjp]

Call them and ask.

u mean 824-8788? i doh think there have nos for individual branches

anyway i went in and thet told me only West Mall have

[redmanjp]

Anyone know if the lte dongle usb dongles have a built in firewall in it? Getting an issue with torrents and also I cant seem to be able to ping any website and some portscan websites says it can't detect any ports on my ip

[rookie]

[redmanjp]

@redmanjp you may not be able to as the network is being piggy-backed right now you will notice your device has one IP and your public IP is different because of this your device doesnt actually see the internet so to speak. I am not sure if they are going to sort this out when the teething issues are over but more than likely person using this service for DVRs etc will not be able to hit their devices via public IPs etc. I am hoping they introduce some static ips sim or equivalent to address this.

BTW am in Chaguanas and i am getting 3 bars max reverted to my Wimax device for the time being.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

So what sort of speeds yall getting?
