Digicel is now starting to move similarily to bmobile when they were a monopoly, only raising prices and service quality is decreasing. Competition seems to have disappeared. We need that 3rd mobile network more than ever to break the duopoly. If countries like Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and the Bahamas are looking to add a 3rd mobile network then I don't see why it would be a problem here. TSTT had a problem but that is expected since they hate competition. FLOW was shortlisted by TATT to get that license in 2016-2017 but it's up to GORTT to approve it still.

FLOW's CEO at the time: "We will jump at the opportunity given how we have built one of the largest fibre rich networks in T&T. It is 4,000-kilometre deep, passing over 300,000 homes in T&T. We will be rolling out the last LTE network. We would build the best network in T&T and I think people are demanding a higher quality mobile data product and service. The onus is on the regulator and the minister to step and issue the license quickly. T&T is falling behind. Jamaica has started LTE. Barbados is going to be rolling it out. Caymans launched it. The telecoms world moves very quickly. You could be ahead three years ago, and suddenly you find yourself behind, so it's that constant continual movement that's required. We are ready willing and able to invest significant money, employ a lot of people in the construction and the launch of it."

Flow is well established in some Caribbean countries as a mobile provider. Wish they would get through too here. More real (not a smartman scam) competition is better for everyone.

Got an S23 and saw that Digicel has uplink carrier aggregation enabled. Good to see.

I saw that a while ago, think was on Aripita Avenue but it only helps those who stream and upload big files.


What they need to do is put back band 4 to 20 bandwidth and re-enable 3cc. Sine the change of bw from 20 to 15 in band 4 and upgrading band 28 to 15 the "overall" speed and feel of the lte network is down, seems slower.

Yes I agree they need to re-enable 3CC. Right now I see that bmobile is aggregating 4 and 28, 2 and 28 and 2 and 4. It won't take much for bmobile to enable 3cc if they haven't done so already. Digicel is only doing aggregation with 2 and 4 atm which kinda sucks.

In terms of getting AWS back to 20 MHz that's up to TATT if they want to allow them to have more spectrum. Currently Digicel is over the 50 MHz PMTS spectrum cap from the 2017 spectrum plan. However TATT is looking to expand AWS to band 66 and PCS to band 25 soon so Digicel should get 20 MHz of AWS back soon or even more.

They were doing 2-28 and 4-28 for a period of time in 2020 and again in 2021 but when they disabled 3cc they also disabled 2cc with b28. I noticed that not all of their sites with 4 or more Sectors had b28 on all 4 or more of the sectors so I'm not sure if that was the problem however if it was I'm not sure why they're taking long to upgrade those sites so that all the Sectors have b28. I remember an engineer on this thread said Digicel was having QoS issues when aggregating with b28 but if bmobile can do it then I don't see why Digicel can't. It's not really a good look for the company from a technological side imo.

3cc was activated in the past but the users experience degraded horribly so they reverted to 2cc with B2/ B4

The US versions aren't programmed to do uplink carrier aggregation on LTE. They can do it via a software update but for some reason samsung had never added the feature on the U.S. models. Not sure why they do this.

Yes. Once you have your qr code it can be done very easily yourself. You have to erase it (not deactivate) it from your previous device in order for the import to the new one to be successful.

Digicel keeps the qr code I believe so you would have to go in store to transfer which is kinda dumb
