Now you’ve deterred me. I went through the whole process of installing a land-line JUST to get blink broadband 4mb ($350/mth). Now I’m wondering if I’ll even get 2mb at all!! & flow hasn’t even “digitalized” my area as yet. sigh…

I’m switching to Flow on the 16th. I have been with blink for 5 years of crappy internet service. I’ve been paying for a 10mb connection ($786.00 per month) and i never get what i pay for not even 5mb. They keep telling me the problem is with the exchange in Mausica, (I’m in Arima) and there is nothing they can do. Imagine a problem for 5 years. They have taken my money long enough, good rid dens Blink hello Flow 15mb.

Hey People,
Hear how I am unlucky.I have signed up for blink since 2007.I live in Preysal.I have been calling non stop for blink.The same answer I always get’the exchange is not ready.No Flow cable is by me,Greendot didn’t work’too many high trees’ around.Anyway I need the speed to complete my on line degree.Sadly ,I am still waiting.I will finish the degree and blink will never reach Preysal.You all think you all have it bad.I don’t even have it.Preysal is cursed by the almighty TSTT!

wel flow will be good, but im frm d bush an wel flow nt comin by me soon. ima avid cod4 player, and playin on a 300+ ping sux ass, esp at night it seems as though blink’s ping was fixed in sando and pos bt not in the penal/ptown/debe area…i smell discrimination…an since we hav no other broadband option in the bush…they have no competition, and hence no reason to fix it

I say tstt does jus screw over every1 , i sign up for a data sim connection as of october,2008 the technician at independence square did not even know how to hook up my computer and my cell phone, on my way out i was stopped by the security guard which he assisted me an installed everything on my laptop. The funny things is why tstt paying their employees for if they can not even do dey jobs, on top of that i ask for my data sim to be disconnected because i had some issues with the connection i was told unless i pay off for my last bill they will not stop billing me. No connection, no internet but i’m still being bill i finally paid all outstanding bills an billing that i didn’t even have internet connection for and close off my account, only to my disbelieve that was not the end of it i receive a bill july stating that i have an outstanding balance. “Boy i’m really disappointed with tstt and on top of that if they ever send me a billing again they will be receiving a letter from my attorney.

this is what i got to say, blink uses 3 gates that your connection needs to pass through to access the internet(not sure how much flow uses) and the latency(ping) between them are high when ppl abusing blink’s network at the same time, usually from the afternoon till late in the night thus the lag in games, slow streaming speeds, even msn sometimes no longer instant messaging where it takes 5 seconds to send a message. There is also this contract blink impose on its consumers in order to get a wifi modem and slightly discounted monthly rentals. my final advice to people that are thinking of getting blink, DONT. terrible customer service, like others before me i applied for blink and got it 4 months later rather than the 6-8 weeks they promised. blink’s network is heavily congested during the day. and nowadays flow 4mb is more or less the price of blink’s 2mb package.

I’m fed up of living here! I signed up for this in 2007 and still haven’t got it, despite sending in the application about 15 times! Waiting for Flow to come in March hopefully if they’re not as lazy-assed as TSTT. TSTT, bmobile, Blink, my school and the whole of Trinidad can suck my dick when I go to either Michigan or Tennessee in the middle of 2010.

I’ve been wating for blink since december last year, finally got the modem in july 2008, and to date 08/10/2008 still don’t have the service, they said that i’m out of range, well if i’m out of range, then why give me the modem and bill me for it?

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.

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!

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.

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