I tried bmobile, Amelia , green dot and flow. No success

Digicel has an unlimited MiFi postpaid service for around TT$400/mo
There is also a one time cost of the MiFi device and SIM card for it

How does the house get electricity? There should be a pole close by to you.Ravi Roxx wrote:platinumedition wrote:I am moving to a remote area where bmobile signal is almost nonexistent.

I have similar problem, I moved to a remote area which is being developed. It is a main shortcut used by thousands of cars per day. I have tried multiple internet providers and so far they have all refused.
To the west of my house 100ft away on a pole is the Flow Junction Box and Digicel Junction Box and yes a road connects that 100ft to my house but there is no pole in between. My neighbour to my east whose house is 15ft from mine has Digicel serviced from a pole on the bound between both our houses. The other neighbours in the Circular I live in got connected the long way around the Circular as poles were erected there for electricity. So even though I am 100ft away from the junction boxes, everyone else was connect via approx 1200ft cables the long away around.
I had Digicel at my previous residence. Requested a relocation from Digicel. They said ok. Their process made me disconnect the service for like 5 days before it could be reconnected at a new location. (In this age of connectivity, that is a long time to be disconnected). Anyway, Digicel showed up to install 5 days later and realised I am too far the long way around 1200ft or so and there are no spaces available in the Box (with 8 slots I believe). Solution would be to plant 2 poles for me to get service but they might not do that for 1 customer. Mind you, the area is being developed, 2 brand new houses will be completed in weeks. Tech said if they run the poles I can get service the next day. 2 days later, Digicel calls to say they won't do it.
Moving on, called up Flow, guy on the phone told me, bring utility bill, ID and 2 passport sized photos. Got my passport sized photos taken and went immediately. Got there, the CSR don't need passport photos. Who told you that. Ok whatever. Paid for Flow to install, etc. At 4pm. They showed up the next day 8am. Excellent. Actually no!! Same story. 1200ft cable to run. They have to push the request to Construction unit. He said probably a week I will get through. I called Flow hotline. They explained, they have to send a crew to survey, design a plan, approve a budget before proceeding if it is approved. Minimum a month.
Moving on again, called Amplia/ Blink. No service in the area.
And again, called Greendot. Took my info to check the availability in my geographical area to see if I can get fibre or wireless. Called me back hours later. Neither service in my area.
Called up AirLink. Very polite and willing but no service in the area.
Called up Lisa Communications, pending Site Survey on Monday to see if they can provide service. Fingers crossed as the saga continues....
If you have a solution or another provider let me know. Open to anything, even Elon Musk Satellite Internet. Signed up for that waiting list a long time ago. Now is the time Elon. Link me up.
(Mifi devices won't work properly as I am using bmobile data which spotty and my wife is using digicel data which is generally worse here.)
