Everyday Digicel raising their blasted prices and nothing you or anybody can do about it.

Thank god Flow come out with this yes

Digi actually have a great offer now 10 days unlimited data for $35

This is a lie I asked them and they said that no such thing exist.

In any event good thing for this free wifi on the go, no need to spend $300 a month, just need Flow land line is all.

Digicel has/had targeted promotions for 10 days/$35 Unlimited. It simply wasn't available to just anybody asking about it.

Basic or TV Essential many of the channels on that package on their website are also not available.

Same here

I check last night and said channels were still there

Postby **Dave** » August 21st, 2019, 7:09 am

Wow. Haven't noticed but will check. I am considering Amplia not so much for content but for price and the fact that many nights my flow internet has literally no speed whatsoever.

redmanjp · Postby **redmanjp** » August 21st, 2019, 12:44 pm

My router is an old arris. Prob over 6 years old

That needs an upgrade.

A 6 year old router which gets moderate to heavy use is at the end of it's life.

Been having major issues with flow this entire week.
Paying for 100mb but only getting 1 - 2 mb and ridiculous ping on speedtest even using their server. Many times the speedtest times out because the connection drops.
Websites frequently can’t load and when they do its worse than dial up

Chaguanas/Montrose area

Looks like Flow making some changes, the 100Mb packages appears to be changing to:

Essential to 50Mb/s down:

Well hopefully thats the cause of the problems. A quick reset of my modem seems to give the upgraded speed.
Although whole week I was resetting it and it gave only temporary improvement.

guess I have to call them and see if they will give me a replacement. :/

Yes, they will and it's easy. Just call them and tell them you have the old modem, and make sure you tell them that your internet giving a lot of trouble, like slow speeds, dropping connection etc. The first thing on their list of troubleshooting is to change the modem to the new white one.

Most likely they will send a technician to do the switch, though it should not require a technician because they can activate the service over the phone, and you would just carry in the old bundle to a head office and receive the new package and plug it in yourself. That's how it works in USA/CAN, buy your modem in a sealed box at Best Buy or other retail store, connect it to the existing cable and activate a service plan over the phone.

I have the same one and was wondering if there is any advantage aside from it being newer. I get my 100 easy and consistently.

dean_spleen09 · Postby **dean_spleen09** » October 10th, 2019, 8:06 pm

that modem could handle up to Download Speed (Internet) Up to 343 Mbps , so unless it giving trouble , i'd keep it . have the same one as well.

Newer modem has Wi-Fi 802.11AC and 5GHz, so if you live in an area with plenty wifi router you'll get less interference as well as faster file transfers over your network.
