Very good indeed.

The fact of the matter is that Blink will continue to bleed people like me in areas like Moruga and Manzanilla where they know that Flow won't get to anytime soon with the low $79.00 package.

Consider this ten customers in Manzanilla on the $79.00 Blink package will bring in more income than ten customers in Curepe on the $69.99 Flow package even if the 79ers are treated like crap with low speeds.

Business is business and I recall Eurpoean telecom regulators investigating claims that some mobile operators were fixing prices in a cartel-like manner.I wouldn't put it past the operators here to milk the market and share the profits under the table in an 'interconnection agreement'.

Just my TT$0.02

but keep in mind that $69.99 flow package is limited by time... 20 hrs i think.. yuh cant dl big files with that.. that is less than a day! and yuh have tuh remember to disconnect else yuh bill go b sky high and yuh go b looking at d usage all d time

Alpine...in my many years of using Blink for lack of choice (and believe you me i'd go flow without thinking twice), I and many of my friends have NEVER encountered a 4GB cap. on average each of us download 18GB of crap daily (99% of them being torrents) and at full speed (in our case 2Mb blink...) and do not encounter any decrease in download speeds (which fluctuate between 250kBps and 270kBps...this 20kBps in my opinion is insignificant)

i have also accosted blink with concerns to this in person (at a TSTT branch in port of spain =) where they tell you there is no blink representative present until u start cussin at which point a blink manager comes out who is quite technologically sound) and there exists no 4GB limit (as yet)

but in any case i would switch to flow as soon as they reach in my area mainly because of their lower rates. i really don't see the practicality of anything more than 2Mb as i struggle to keep up with finding 18GB o crap to download. i tell u it had a point in time i download everything dat used to show on TV6 an TTT back in d days (ting like first wave...7 days...viper...invisible man...dexters lab...tom and jerry etc etc etc) just to have SOMETING downloading.

i agree with everything else said tho. TSTT only have power over FLOW for the while because they can service much more people. if TSTT was smart they would run fibreoptics to the neighbourhood pole and use copper for last mile and do away with POTS. i honestly believe that all forms of DSL on a POTS network is doomed to fail

Yeah exactly good point.

I believe personally that DSL won't be able to compete with cable net in a time to come cause for some reason DSL is always limited. With companies like Flow and Comcast you never have to worry if you take 50MB you getting 50MB. With DSL you lucky if you can get 4MB and stuff. My Uncle is a IT professor in the US and he says his College has officially discontinued DSl service from AT&T and they took a 50MB from Comcast. I also believe They gonna upgrade to a 100MB in the near future if necessary to.

Seriously anyone else here sees DSL as a failing technology? Save for VDSL which is 100MB but even that has distance limitations aswell.

I believe by the year 2020 the US will be using 1GB internet connections for residential use.

But apart from that I also believe by the year 2020 I would not be living Trinidad and also I would not even remember the word Trinidad or 3rd world for that matter.
And this place here would just seem like a bad dream.

just my $0.02

Just a word of warning eh folks. They starting to Jail people for downloading from p2p now eh. They cracking down hard on it in recent times. Both torrent sites and people who download it. They also prosecuting people who have illegal stuff on rapidshare accounts now to.

where u get your info and how can we protect ourselves from being caught

Certainly not in Trinidad. If they were to enforce piracy laws here they would need several new jails to accomodate, say upwards of 100 000 people.

They could just put a fence around the island and done
Hear is the thing, when you use Torrents and P2P, your PC connects to several "bad IPs" on the internet because they trick you into believing they have sources for the file you want. Those computers are just there to monitor and log files that you request and download and that is what the RIAA uses. Now it is true that they can't touch us down here but there are 26,000 and counting bad IPs on the internet that just waste your bandwidth and download crap that ends up in hash fails. You must understand that 26,000 bad hosts can really waste your time and bandwidth. For this reason there are things called IP filters built into most Torrent and P2P applications. I use wget to pull an 18MB ipfilter.dat file manually which I use on my uTorrent but for people who prefer simplicity I suggest you use a program like Peer Guardian that automatically gets the IP Filter list and puts them in all the major P2P and Torrent Apps you have installed so you don't have to do it manually.

If you have eMule, just enter the Options, Security and type

into the IP Filter URL and click LOAD. Else use Peer Guardian.

lol yeah well they Jail people in North America and Europe.

So I think we safe in the 3rd world.

But the illuminati is real thats a fact. And yeah by 2020 or before 2050 we will have global citizenship and single world currency.
That what the whole New World Order is about.

But people get scared to fast and stuff. Its not like any satanic crap and someone trying to take over the world.
Its just that we take a while to realize we are all share the same biology regardless of ideology.

I agree there should not be differences of one thinking they better than the other we are all the same human species. And one day the planet truly will have one single government and international ID card.

Same way next wars will be among planets vs planets and then galaxies vs galaxies.

Its just evolution. To be honest its the best thing we may even eliminate things like VAT and stuff and have better standards of living so we can all afford original stuff and not have to pirate. Reason so many people in the 3rd world pirate is they can't afford it. And I think world leaders realizes the inequality that differences causes.

The future sure does look remarkable I bet you soon the planet will have an entire fiber optic network with fiber running straight to your PC room. There is something called Terraforming mars and Colonization. NASA plans to set up a base there and turn the planet atmosphere safe for humans to breed and live. They even already started planning on getting internet access to Mars!! The Latency will however be 3 minutes pings as light takes 3 minutes to reach mars from earth so the are planning on getting around that latency problem.

Yeah folks the future is indeed bright not just for Trinidad's technological system but for earth and our solar system.
If you guys do some research on it, its truly amazing. Not to mention the future internet will have no speed caps!!
