WTF. I restart PC and check de router all kinda ting. Youtube moving like dial-up. Then I did a speed test

[achillies]

^^^^try a direct connection, and do a netstat -b command to see what may be using your bandwidth

[zcarz]

on speedtest.net it says trinidad and tobago is now 32 in the world which is really good, the highest in the caribbean and higher than canada, the UK , spain and australia and our pingtest value (r-factor) is higher than the US.

I never experienced any problems with blink

Hell I does even play Borderlands and Bad company 2 with torrents running and it works flawless. You can't do that with flow.

What I do however have a problem with is streaming youtube. I suspect blinkT is capping the bandwidth for youtube.

For gaming ADSL is superior. Its dedicated and you always get full bandwidth well I do anyways I guess it depends where you live and all that drama. But in theory it works like this and does for me. Except streaming offcourse.

Also FLOW availability is nothing compared to BLINK. They did this same thing in Jamaica only a VERY small part of Jamaica has digital. Same thing in Trinidad.

Atleast you could get blink behind god back. Some internet is better than no internet.
Also blink is MUCH cheaper $79 for unlimited vs flow $190. Who the heck uses 20 hour again is beyond me.

But in terms of speed FLOW is definitely superior. I just glad FLOW here for TSTT to drop their prices. Even if I never get flow even though I live Piarco atleast I still get free upgrades from blink. BUT TSTT definitely need to do something about their packages.
