^ they already ran the lines in Piarco to Las Lomas area they ran fibre where my coconut estate is in El Carmen Piarco. They even have the box on the poles that allow for connection to people homes.

But since they are still in Diego it seems like it will be a year or 2 again before they activate this area.

Well d rep I spoke to said lines and everything is already in place and ready to go in most of T&T.
As such, I'm not sure why dey sticking to roll out the service

Lines run but it takes time to configure OLTs, routers, DWDM rings etc.

Praying they launch very soon in penal/debe area

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

They said they are launching in Piarco April 2016.

Can't wait their site also says free modem and free installation I am guessing this means I am not paying a cent to get connected?

They reach south yet?

spoke to a digicel business rep for a client and dey said dey ent reach SanDo yet, there is the option of using their MiFi modem though, they say it actually has better reliability and SLA than their fiber connections.

well that's what your representative said, and i cya vouch for reliability of the MiFi but i do know the fiber is unreliable compared to other ISP services.

Digicel senior tech here ,so I am seeing everyone takkin about using their routers instead of the digicel router again I stress its not recommended as your Mbps will dramatically drop if you pull from our router in need be cases ( magic jack,usunblock) u can use your router as a portal jus my attaching it to our Ethernet port but any major bandwidth usage you should connect directly to our 2.4 GHz signal on our router thanks again

Need some clarification on this also, why would that happen? This is a red flag for me as i prefer using my own router for the 5Ghz band among other things.

Hi there does Digicel have plain simple wired modems so we can use our own routers?

I don't trust this Chinese Huawei and its not because of the fact that they spy on people and capture sensitive data, but because their modem is

A) White/Butt ugly

B) Many of us have our superior sexy ASUS routers with the fancy blue led that makes us feel fuzzy inside.

Folks doh worry with these ppl, it rel sad d misdirection of the ppl that suppose to be supporting ya.

on the huawei configure the WAN as a bridge
then hook up your router (should be Gigabit if your Internet is 100Mbps+) to the Modem via the router's WAN port.
The configure your router's WAN to be PPPoE and put in username and password for your account.

Basically when you do this your router itself gets the WAN ip, performing routing and NAT functions and the Huawei is purely an ONT.

I plan on doing this as well. But I've been told the Huawei ONT does support dualband 2.4 and 5GHz, so I may end up using it once the performance and coverage is good.

Appreciate you breaking it down, thanks. Good to know i can always depend on a tuner as opposed to the actual company rep.

Think you've officially appointed yourself as the tuner digicel tech support. :ugeek:

Also guys just signed up & digicel no longer requires a security deposit so installation is free. Not sure for how long & they have no online payment system as yet, was told it's being worked on still.

So Digicel expect me to not use my expensive router and use their Chinese brand :/
