I didn’t say much about it, but for the past 10 weeks I have had a new ISP at home, a newish telecommunications company in Jamaica name Flow Jamaica. I wanted to have some time to test out and evaluate their service before I posted about it as I didn’t want to be influenced by my excitement of having a super fast internet connection. Well I have a special bundle of telephone, digital cable and internet. I get 300 free minutes per month to call anywhere in the North America and the UK and that has come in handy for calling my older brother and sister (by my father side) and the hordes of friends I grew up with that are going to school abroad or migrated. I am very satisfied with the phone service, it is crisp and clear and have had no problems with drop calls and such and I can all any other phone network available in Jamaica at reasonable rates. I have 175 digital cable channels with all my favourites such as speed, history, discovery, Starz etc included but I must admit that I am a little short on movie channels but they can be added along with high Def channles and more at a cost.
So far I have had only a few problems service-wise with FLOW and all of them have been sorted out with no problems, so what can I say but I am happy and relieved finally some of the so called “progress” in this country is affecting me….beware though FLOW I am watching you.
FLOW is a nice company… things can only get better. U must be living large though a jump for 96k to 4mb!!!!! How do u sleep @ night?!?! hehehehe
If u never had a DVD burner before I bet you have started to look into one now 😀
I recently got flow too.
As it regards space management, I too have had to make some adjustments.
Now instead of working on my collection of music for songs/albums that aren’t keepers, I’ve taken to dling them then deleting them when I’m finished listening to them a few days later. The same goes for movies too. Infact, now I watch those online.. without a hitch thanks to sites like ssupload and apps like Joost.
I’ve also moved a lot of my old desktop functions completely online too. Things like email, wordprocessing and even project management are all done with online applications now so less desktop requirements.
welcome to the flow club ^_^ and thanks for the tips.
I have put my name on the waiting list and all now I’m still waiting on them to contact me. I only want their broadband service and from what I hear it seems sweet.
flow is no good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant wait until flow gets to my area.Cable and Wireless sucks.The only time i got my full download speed was the first week i got the service.Im on a one megabit per second connection.My average download speed is 30-40kb per second.Im sure its not my computers fault-it has pretty good specs.
Oops forgot to mention-the download for 1mbs should be 125kbps(but no service provider gives the max speed,always behind by like 5 or so kilobytes).
nice thanks for the heads up on this company, trying to sort out my grandma some internet. any info on the prices. actually shocked tho at the ultra slow connection speed your chuffed with. 20meg is a standard for me. [smile]
this was over 3 years ago. Speeds are much faster now. Check out http://www.flowjamaica.com/ for info on speeds and prices for your Grandma
