My torrents are slow these days. I am at the 60mb connection yet torrents coming down at 500kbps when they used to come down at 2mb to 5mb

Maybe I getting throttled so I have to not download anything for a week on Utorrent.

500 kbps still good i getting 40 max

Ouch!

Have you tried resetting the modem?

When speeds start to slow, that usually helps for a while.

What's your point? That you feel sorry for people with Flow, but that it's still better than Digicel? ED do you work for Flow? Your holy water blessed flow connection has been posted here ad nauseam.

Flow has been good for the past few years for me, including a business account. But with connections in north and south, their service has really gone to sheit over the past few months.

You kinda miss my point. YES I feel sorry for people with flow, because I had more issues than anyone here and dealing with flow to fix it was like dealing with a monkey to fix the internals of a microchip. That is how unprofessional flow actually is, then one day I upgraded my package I did it 3 times until somehow the second it switched to 60mb all problems went away. And for all we know this won't last long its been good for months now ever since it was switched but again anything can happen because is a real roll a dice kinda company.

One of the Flow CSR even advised me to accept Jesus and start to pray saying that what she did to fix her problems. Yeah this is the kind of company you are dealing with here.

I've had the same issue but I think it has to do with the age of the torrent, and peers/seeds geographically located close to TT.

Downloading a fresh Game of Thrones at 11PM on a Sunday right after airing and I'd be getting 5-10 Kb/s.

Frig that, went to sleep. Restarted same torrent next morning, 6MB/s straight through.

[Kronik]

^that is absolutely correct. Once I wait till next morning or next night, I could put like 10 different shows to download and my speed will be maxed until all done

[christopherwilliams2]

True true.

[fred1266]

hi there currently have the new AVS boxes does the USB on the box work

thanks in advance

[rollingstock]

How hard is it to plug in a USB and check yourself?

[Eat.Sleep.JDM]

Fellas the only reason flow giving so many issues is because currently they don't have any new modems also the techs and the dispatch dept they do whatever they want and end up causing a sheit load of problems plus of recent alot of outages taking place because the fiber optics are being damaged

[fred1266]

it showing up but the only allowing me to format it can't get to see any of the files

[Anton]

It works, but only for pausing live TV, not for recording.

All true, but you could try to update your tracker (right click on torrent and its there) there would be a drop in speed initially and then a probable rise, run tests in the setup window (for location personally bogata works better than miami-most of the time-) and well new torrents take a while wrt seed/peer ratios
if I learn anything new I'll share it

Is flow doing mass-throttling for summer or something?
I'm not a heavy downloader or anything, but I don't usually have issues with torrents using Flow.

Lately my 60mbps package seems to be pulling 5-15KB/sec on a torrent. Downloading over SSL seems unaffected and I can pull max throughput. Streaming via YouTube and sites like Putlocker etc also seems affected and can't play without excessive buffering.

Same situation...i never had to leave things long long to download. they'd be up to 4mb-5mb per sec in a few minutes..with the 60mb package....now...pressure...experiencing the same and I have stopped downloading for a few days to see if it would change or reset.

[The Paleontologist]

Hmmm. I have the 3mb pkg and my downloads are around 250kbs

[Mariachi]

Have no problem pulling 5-6MB/sec on a Digicel 100mbit package... Giving flow a month or two then I'm just going to cancel if things don't get better

[christopherwilliams2]

did a download this morning ...came at 2mb...

[wheelbarrow]

[christopherwilliams2]

Good thing I am on their max promo 60mb package. Internet only!

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Only reason I am with flow is because of their $200 a month 60MB package. Hopefully this cost wont pass onto internet access users. I have 0 use for cable TV

yep, one must admit...this is a pretty sweet deal considering the other prices available.

especially if you live in an area where FLOW doesn't go down that often...

What's the typical speed though? I'm on the legacy 15 and just wasn't upgrading because I experience seemingly random speed drops/limitations. Also "cost won't pass on to Internet access users"? And what area? I hardly get disruptions in Chaguanas area. Considering if an upgrade might be worth the couple dollars or if I'll be paying more for speeds I'll never see.

[Morpheus]

Ok time to check those packages. I real sticking. I still paying $559 for 15MB and Basic Digital

[Ted_v2]

I in the same boat. Cable TV is toots these days. I torrent everything.

My net connection dropping badly tho. Barely could load a 720p YouTube video.

[iarmd1]

Since last night no cable or internet in Lange park and they not helpful in when it's coming back only saying soon when I call now they saying they hope before the day is over

[maj. tom]

A cable was damaged in the area last night. They were repairing it. Internet now back up.
