[matr1x]

Oh goody! More money for their shitty internet speeds

[sekhar_777]

Oh goody! More money for their shitty internet speeds

And as if on que, outage in the Cunupia area since 9am.
I actually switched from Flow to Digi a few years ago and Digi has really been a disappointment but what else is there?

[sekhar_777]

Ampila was driving around the area a few days ago but I know switching cost will be high and I have security with Digi as well after hating the service from Blink Vigilance. LOL

There routers have a weak range. I set up a mesh network to handle the range issue

Most people only need basic internet at a low price, $320 might be too much for some.

Anyone ever tried using their phone as a hotspot? Does it work good? I'm a light user so never noticed anything out of the ordinary and only really use it to listen music. Very rare I use the home network or anyone network for that matter.

[eitech]

Dat price ain’t making sense for internet alone na

lol this is a meme already oui

digi doing that to? thought it was just bmobile when the plan expire and PAYG at $2/mb goes into effect but doesn't digi turn off data when the plan expires?

The trottling is ridiculous tonight.... I can stream properly. Anyone else having this issue?

It depends. Unashamed I pirate so if I have issues I usually change links and it’s not a problem. What services are you using and what’s your speed? With the kinda speeds we have access to even with 200mbps we shouldn’t at least theoretically get buffering unless maybe you have 4 tv’s running 4K at the same time, gaming and with heavy network congestion.

[ShadowtheUnknown]

The justifications ISP’s are using to increase prices are insane and in my opinion sounding like a bit of a fib. The timing is suspect.

Amplia tries to be Netflix middle man they get blank. (That approach was embarrassing) they whine and complain about not getting their “fair share” in profits whatever tf that means lmao

Now ISP’s basically giving we an undercover Netflix tax to “recoup” losses

The current fibre infrastructure we have is better than some places in the states and they complaining about Netflix “straining” the network?? I’m confused. This level of bandwidth should be designed to handle this load. And if there isn’t enough bandwidth to go around, how are they able to re-introduce (because it was available in the earlier days) a gigabit package?

Internet packages are supposed to level out in costs whenever they get more subscribers. It slowly feels like many people would be out priced

It honestly feels like local ISP’s like any local big business want to squeeze excessive profits by any shaky justification.

[jehusaunders]

Not to be devils advocate but as a business person, the local isps plans and pricing models are silly. If for example they offered 60mbps for $150, then 200mbps for $350 more persons will likely go for the faster speed. However because the lowest tier now is more than fast for most persons, fewer persons are paying for the higher tiers and thereby these companies aren’t getting the revenues needed.

[dean_spleen09]

saw them walking around my street looking for signups , tell them bring back the 25mb for $200 plan , not everybody need 200mbit
:/

[daxt0r]

i find they should have a 50Mbps plan for like a 150-200.
I love digi internet for local mesh S2Ss as their latency, jitter and uptime for local traffic is great and rivals and even beats some local MetroE providers its only their IPTV throttling recently is a killer as they doing it during the day now too
Does any ISP offer any sub $200 plan with symmetric speeds (no flow)?

You may need to pay a little more for that.

But can confirm Digicel is throttling streaming constantly. It's very frustrating. They better fix by June 1st

Does streaming works fine with VPN?

[redmanjp]

^ VPNs also limit your speed - not intentionally but depends on what their servers can handle. expressvpn can only handle between 15-30mb but that's ok for me- can still get a 1080p stream with that. modern codecs can get 4k with that 30mbps.

internet ballsing for you guys?
