Doing a refresh to see a different ISP won't really prove anything, unless someone could outline the exact details of the deal between Digicel and Flow, they bought bandwidth, but who knows what else was bought, what external IP do you have, who does that belong to, what if Digicel can detect when someone is tethering and those users are routed differently, data is capped, so Digicel loses nothing, the user would just reach his cap a lot faster, did Digicel lease any IPs from flow, too much variables for an arbitrary speedtest to determine anything concrete

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ I think the only issue here was that given the ping rate and ISP it seemed he was on FLOW and not 4G when he did that test.

I was excited about 3/4G but now that its here I'm trying to think of reasons to have it. Will stick to EDGE for the meantime. Happy for you fellas on the hi-speed mobile data highway. Go digicel!

Saw on the papers today Digicel Got the s3 for 5000 prepaid wonder what Coperate price will be .

Just warning the prepaid users if you all deactivate your 3G plans from digicel make sure and disable data on your cell otherwise your money will run out automatically. Happened to a couple of people I know one person toped up $300 and it ran out in 2 days. Digicel customer reps were like well uh left on your data thats why. So just a heads up

thats what she topped up with $300 normally that lasts 2 months
how is it stupid? Your comment sounds stupid
Anyhow just want to inform individuals to make sure and turn off your data if you deactivate your 3g plan on a digicel prepaid sim.

[S_2NR]

it would be more cost effective for her to get post paid. but its her money, she can waste it if she wants.

But how come the funds run out?

Was she accessing data??

[PapaC]

Anybody used the MIFI that Digicel are offering?
And i am wondering about the data cap that it comes with, how fast you think it will run out if you are using multiple devices.

[firstchoicett]

^ I play with it a few times top out at 7mb/2mb and yes it Cap.

She wasted it the second she stepped into a Digicel branch.

She was using a Nokia Lumia 800 windows cell and forgot to turn of data after she deactivated her prepaid 1GB plan.
Remember digicel sends the apn settings and it stays on your cell even after you deactivate. The thing that sucks is that she was not using any data services after she topped up and deactivated 4g. However the service reps said the money ran down because she had data turned on. Digicel has an automatic data internet service on prepaid sims once you have the correct APN settings and $$. The thing with Smart phones if you have apps open that require an internet connection it will utilize data. So my point being either turn of data or delete the apn if you deactivate your 4G plan.

[firstchoicett]

That same thing happen to me a year ago on my iPhone when I had EDGE I forget to turn it off on my post paid account when I got the bill it was 1000.09 for 5 days I was like wTF I told Digicel they suppose to turn it off completely from account and they refund me the money .

Prepaid they not refunding a ¢, agree with them but the least Digicel can do is send a notification text to the customer advising to turn data off or also make sure the APN settings deleted, but they only send a text saying to turn off your cell when you deactivate a 4G plan.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Mine was up a few days ago. Didn't renew it though. Too expensive right now. Awaiting bmobile 4g by end of the year.

Out of the 2GB plan I had like over 1300MB left on the last day. Realized that I just didn't need this but was curious the first time to try it. Worked wonderful though. But too expensive for me right now.

I convinced a few co workers to buy one of them cheap $400 galaxy Y with the 4G plans and experience the android market games and stuff. People that never used a smartphone and internet before and never cared.

Since then they can't do without a smartphone and that internet LOL
