Digicel 4G/HSPA+ Thread

[ismithx]

yeah.... so anyone could actually find out the tech specs of the network and post them?

[redsupra101]

any chance you guys can post handset type and location when you post the speedtest? easier for the digicel ppl in the thread to track those high latency areas.

I'm posting mine from Valsayn area. The super fast ones were closer to the Butu Rd cell tower in Valsayn south. I see I'm getting data from an el socorro tower and that tower so... I will sort of always get crappy data always because it keeps switching back and forth. But 2mbit isn't so bad. It just eats my battery because it is at 2 bars all the time.

I want 3G

[fouljuice]

Soon man. Doh hut up yuh head.
At least when they finish 'testing', you won't have to have to wait for them to come and run lines on your street, etc.

getting 5-8Mb on my phone in freeport....service running smooth...i movin faster than my desktop...
for some strange reason google maps not loading however the preloaded maps GPS software works also i'm not able to do the speedtest on speedtest .net i using flow website to do the test.

EDIT: google maps not loading - however it loads over a wifi connection. and also when i switch back down to 2G ( EDGE)....strange....

getting 5 - 8 down and close to 2 Mb up, popped my digi sim in a 4S, set up personal hotspot and streamed 1080P youtube on my laptop easily

thought this was interesting, my blackberry plan expired tonight and the trial extended that also

no..they don't NEED to step up their game for anything because trinis will always rush to buy whatever they have to be 'in de game'

look at those ridiculous 4g devices..you'd be amazed at how many fools rush to get that nonsense. if people boycotted, then TSTT would move to suit

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

One question to be asking, how many peeps here are post paid and how many are pre-paid? Also is Digicel doing for both or are they giving preference for post paid customers at this time?

up to last week it was only customers with post paid or unlimited data package... not sure if it changed this week.

[mojosodope]

I'm pre paid and I got it yesterday

U can roll out a 3G network, but still have confused customer reps lol!!!

I'm heading south today, would like to see how the service performs there (if any)

[Damien]

must say it is working good, how much for the packages though? i am already paying $200 a month for data

[nemisis]

$350 for 500mb for existing post paid customers

[src1983]

I thinking a structure like the US...

1g plans
2g plans
And
5g plans

I highly doubt a unlimited plan....

[brickman]

From what ive heard it will be in mb packages & for post paid only,believe only corp will get a unlimited option.That $350 up price range sounds about correct.

to me they said that it will follow the rest of countries..... so far all digi hspa+ islands have the same price and data quota (GB)
