i dont like the idea of contract services and internet is way too expensive in trinidad and tobago come on tstt this thing is free in american libraries and like 20 bucks for a broadband connection, hence the reason i will never promote anything concerning tstt and i prefer to live in america and enjoy real internet rather than this petty unstable thing tstt call “broadband”

then leave….is people like you who keep tnt back!
I understand qhat you mean but you should demand better not duck and run!

Nobody bar none hates tstt more than i do. seriously. But the fact is…this is real improvement..not as much as we’d like..but improvement nonetheless. Any step forward is a long way off from the current meagre offerings in my book. Internet service is in a good place right now in trinidad…we got flow..which means tstt has to be on their toes (what do you think was the big rush to throw millions into advertising for a service that isnt ready in over half the country anyway?)Actually…both companies are. And THAT my friends…is a good place to be right now. For us jaded consumers anyway.

I am a patriotic citizen, i never even purchased a digicel phone, i was tempted to take flow broadband however i decided against it and was glad that tstt was offering broadband at a very affordable prices. I immediately called and asked for the service, they took my application over the phone and told me someone would contact me in 6 weeks, it is now two months and not a word. I decided to call back only to be told they lost my application and i have to reapply online and wait another 6 weeks to get a activated. that is really poor, i’m sorry to say. i am now considering taking flow broadband since they deliver in 3 working days and i dont have a long hard form to fill out.

i live in laventille and they told e to wait 6 - 8 weeks …. its now week 7 and still nothing .. and because i live in laventille i have no choice to go with flow … i think it sad that the people in laventille made it what it have become today becuase of it flow will come digital in laventille possible LAST …… o and o the 2nd week some other ignorant person cut the phone lines for the copper and it aint fix yet … jeez!

I got Flow 2MB unlimited package yesterday and it works really well. I have a friend who is taking the Blink 2MB package. Once he does we will compare notes and keep you all informed.

i’ve signed up for blink since 2007.they said that my area was part of phase 2 which was supposed to end in january. nobody has come to my house to set my computer configuration like they said would. tstt iz jus a big settup company. bess i continue to theif wireless internet from the cyber cafe up de road yes.

Justin - I feel your pain. Each time I call they tell me that my area is ready but they don’t know “when” I’ll be upgraded - this is since last year.

First I was told to sign up and within a couple of weeks I would be upgraded - I’m still waiting.

I finally got my blink. i got the 512kbps package. The 1st 2 days it worked stupendously and after that it went to dial-up speed. Yes folks, i was getting bandwith results as low as 2okbps. How depressing….after i discovered aol/xm radio. Anyways Tstt said that is certainly not normal and they would be coming to checking it out soon. I hope that day comes real quick. I really miss the high speed.

Im in princes town and i have signed up for 1 mb blink broad band since january 8th 2008. Princes Town is supposed to be blink broad band ready, so what is the problem? Noone has called to give me my internet password orarrive by my house to give me my modem. Last year2007 , December my telephone line was down and it took tstt one month to fixed a simple telephone line so i could receive and make calls. I really blame Gov’t for all his headache and inefficiency that trinbagonians are experiencing today, gov’t fostered tstt(a monopoly)for donkey years shielding them from competition and inturn tstt raped trinis of thier time, and hard earn money with thier unjustly high prices and ridiculously poor quality services.

well i got my blink connection but nobody explained to to my mother what they did… they jus came and put eveything and left. now i have to take time of from my job and go into tstt and find out all the relevent information. come on people try and do your jobs like professonals…

i have read all of the above comments and i have to agree with every one when they say tstt is the worst telephone and internet service provider they should be ashamed to advertise for a service they can not provide for everyone in trinbago and they keep blaming it on your system

allyuh i now seeing on d link application form dat dey chargin real money….activation $552: Technician Installation; $402.50 and Set-up Package costs; $57.50
dis is real crap…..when i signed up in nov las yr that wasn’t there at all……dey had to be mad….so ppl allyuh look out for dis

[...] services provider for the Senate’s suggestion but by all estimates they will either be on the Blink or [...]

Well, i live in the penal area and applied for blink broadband since november 2007. I was told that phase 2 of the project will cover my area whithin the months of nov - jan. well guess what ?? Its march.. I have kept on calling to find out when it will be ready and they said that in the end of april. Tstt has NO time management or prioritization. It fails the country once more … Has TSTT ever been able to deliver a seamless service ? If you can say yes, then i will shoot myselff.. I was also told that i need to sign up online, but the sign up link isnt working..how great is that ? i get to contact TSTT using my telepathic powers to sign up…

[...] Blink Broadband, the TSTT rebranded internet service despite having numerous issues seems to have struck on an ingenious marketing plan. [...]

My Aunt went ytdy to sign up for blink and they told her that they STOP TAKING APPLICATIONS because they have toooooo much. You could belive such utter dotishness???? So they cyah take her application and they don’t know when they could take her application. So we just hafta wait……steups

So the only reason that Tstt introduced blink broadband just a few months ago was because they had to become competitive with trindadflow and greendot or else they would lose alot of thier profits. Tstt was not going to upgrade their services if they weren’t face with competition(they enjoyed screwing over trinis) It is my knowledge that adsl+2 technology was availble 3yrs ago. Trinis surely have remarkable patience waiting this lengthly period for broadband.

Just sign up with greendot internet service they are the best. http://www.gd.tt

I agree with the previous comment by ps240gig, TSTT does enjoys screwing us over, but now that I have BLINK, I have no problem with it, the service is very good and in comparison to greendott, I see it as a better because it is better interms on price… just look at it $79 as opposed to $360 for the same speed, and even the connecting prices are cheaper. Competition is what TSTT needs to offer us come kind of service.. how i see it… bring on the competition!

I understand but Greendot has 24/7 service and that’s what you are paying for, not to mention you don’t have to wait more than a few days for internet.
