Reminder that the Gen 2 Starlink kits are Wi-Fi only and don't have Ethernet. So you'll need to pay extra for the adapter and get your own router too.

UPS or Fed-Ex.

Unless there is a local authorized dealer who doing everything including installation like all other local internet satellite companies here who already did the paperwork for their equipment. Next thing they asking if you have a licence for that and have to get letter from TATT, etc., to clear customs. Because it broadcasting a signal too.

This is an easy install no need for installers .

1.5 million subscribers already. No early user there

At that price, it's a bargain.


Trinidad is a small place we will not have a problem with speed

Routers very cheap that should not be an issue

Positive is no need to deal with out local vendors who constantly increasing price

I ordering and telling Flow frig you

Sending via DHL, got the tracking number today

Also got another email from them stating the expected speeds. Will compare the latency with digicel when I get it. It comes with it's own wireless router, but I get the ethernet adapter so I can connect to my existing network, remember these were made to be a stand alone internet connection.

And these don't require installers unless you mounting it on a wall or something, they have kits for different mounting locations, walls, roofs, poles.

How your screenshot showing $385 monthly for 200Mbps down and 50Mbps up? I seeing $285 per month at https://discoverflow.co/trinidad/internet-streaming And it comes with access to Flow Sports App, Paramount + and WWE. Did Flow raise their price and forget to update their website?

According to https://www.digicelgroup.com/tt/en/digicel-plus/Internet.html, Digicel's lowest cost internet only offering is $305 monthly for 200Mbps down and up.

Amplia lowest cost offering is $260 monthly for 150Mbps down and up. https://amplia.co.tt/internet/

Assuming it's not an error on Flow's website, all 3 of these options are lower monthly costs than Starlink's $365/mth.
