Flow Internet Thread

[redmanjp]

So is a modem replacement required in order to receive the new "bump" in speeds? Or a modem re-start should do it?

I only heard this on the radio this morning and decided to research it at the office here. I haven't done a speed test at home yet...

reset should do it

[Rallyfignis]

Depends which package you are on, I was on 25 and they needed to change the modem.
I believe everything below that a simple reset should suffice.

[Aaron 2NR]

Flow been messing up all morning in San fernando

[snypaz]

They're coming to install the net service at the house. I'd let y'all know how it goes.

[Ted_v2]

i know this is the internet ched but anyone in south getting cable service interruptions?

[stev]

no interruptions in central. lol

first time in a long while my internet givin trouble.....from 30 to 4 Mbps. lol

[M_2NR]

I did a restart a while back on my old modem and got the speed bump. However, noticed my speeds all weird and ping to google is 107ms which is usually 68ms. I think I'm gonna schedule a modem upgrade. I assume I will be able to disable the DHCP and wireless on this newer modem right? I have never been able to go into this old modem and edit settings or view SNR etc...

[Soul Collector]

It very up and down. My ping to certain servers have increased and I'm having major latency issues. They need to sort their crap out soon man.

[M_2NR]

^apparently I'm supposed to get the "upgraded" modem. The 502G model one etc. But my batch hasn't been scheduled yet or because i called this hour he can't confirm it for me but as is, I'm not doing much online gaming so ping for me is a minor thing and I still have a ton of bandwidth to play with thankfully. I thinking of downgrading too! 10mbit is more than enough to stream 1080p.

You got upgraded already?

[Kronik]

Don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I was using Google DNS in the modern settings, overriding flow original one. I went in and set it back to flow DNS and immediately my torrents went to full speed and everything stated working like before everything gone to hell.

Would be interested to know if this works with anyone else. Been a few days now and it still problem free

[maj. tom]

yeah I'm having real trouble accessing some Torrent sites using Google DNS, especially the Bay. Switched back to flow and it loaded in a snap.

[M_2NR]

Update on the appointment. Men call this morning and want to schedule one for tmrw

Edit: men come and change d modem just now (Sunday). No call to setup yet though. Any idea what is the IP to go into it?

Got mines working within 1/2 hour.

Not the one with the wireless router though which is cool for me. WBM760

[snypaz]

Well they're scheduled to come today so I took the day off. No sign or call from them yet.

[snypaz]

[brickman]

Net down for half hour so far in p.o.s.

[r3iXmann]

I have the one with the wifi router..I've noticed that my network throughput (not internet) drastically slows down once more than 2 devices jump on...anybody else having this issue?

[Kronik]

I have about 15 devices total connected to the modern via wireless and hub etc and get close to full speed depending on which devices I transferring between. But this is 100mb network cards not 1gb

[gastly369]

ohh yes goin with flow
internet, tv and phone let see how it goes :\
atm have blink and directv

never had a problem with blink 2mbit just price for $$ atm 10 vs 2 :\
i just notice a trend in this thread that have me worried always seeing that flow net is either down or at some dead horse speeds on a daily basis. hence why i dont have it yet but getting tired if the 2mbit

Yuh never tried using your own router? I was thankful in a way that I got this kind. May be the DHCP is chit on it.

[snypaz]

Yeah the net was down around 2:00am this morning. And so far, I'm having no problems. I hooked up my own Belkin Wireless Router to the Arris and I'm good to go. Wasn't feeling to put in new settings into all the devices in the house.

make sure and n use OpenDNS or Google DNS or a mix....Flow DNS was always crap IMO....but lately im seeing people having trouble accessing certain sites with a public DNS.

also enable encryption in ur torrent client

[Kronik]

^^well recently flow DNS working plenty better and giving me my full speeds vs Google DNS which I was using all the time

Had blink before flow for about 5 years.
Have flow for going on 3.
Flow has given me more problems than blink ever did.

[Ted_v2]

My blink don't give any trouble. Might just need a reset after current cuts and return. Which is expected.

Gastly I'm getting flow on the 27th. I took Internet, phone and digital cable. I'm still pondering about the flow Internet but for the price heyyy

Was watching CNC3 morning brew this week and a guy from tstt said they pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy.How much money does flow or digicel put back into our economy?Flow money goes to Jamaica and Digicel to Ireland.Money drained from our economy.
I'd rather put my money into a local company even if there is a 0.01% chance it'll be reinvested locally rather than a 100% chance it will never see Trinidad again.

That being said, I'd rather have 4M 100% of the time(and I do mean 100% for about 4-5 years) than 50M 70% of the time.
