    Make an independent request to have the wiring checked.

    They need a stiff hand to get results. Very inefficient.

    Using the 10mbps package. The download speed varies a lot. Sometimes I get sub 100KB/s and other times I get up to 1.5MB/s. That's using Internet Download Manager. I noticed from about 6PM to about 11PM it's very, very slow. All we need is one good provider, no compromise.

    I had friends with blink and they seemed worse of than me. From what I know flow is better, not necessarily good, just better. Youtube videos above 480P don't load on time for me but at least I hardly get connection problems. I just treat it like really fast dial up. Anything I want to download I put it to download overnight.

    Oh and also remember that the speed rating you get is the max speed, they don't have a minimum. I normally get about 2-4Mbps on a normal day and 5-8Mbps on a really really good day.

    I had to switch to Blink for price reasons. Got a better package on an overall phone/cable/internet deal. At the time Flow was nothing but headache and torture for me.

    I hope when Cable and Wireless take over they provide a more reliable service. Still not working good, everything loading so slowly.

    Don't expect any better. Its T&T , until we begin to use our power as a unified body and start cutting off and fussing about these things, it will continue.

    Yeah, I see it somewhat working better right now. It's a waste to be paying for an unreliable service. Any news on what going on with Blink and their service?

    Blink has been working much better since they had the major outage. They had one problem since and all talks about rebate just went out the door after they fixed it. Some customer service.
