    Default No more Lime internet?

    So I just refreshed the tab I had opened in firefox for lime speedtest page and am being directed from lime.com to this link: https://discoverflow.co/jamaica/

    Every since Lime bought out Flow I've been having bandwidth issues when streaming especially. I am on a 8 meg connection and have been able to stream 720/1080p youtube videos after letting it buffer about 10 seconds and then play video right throughout without it needing to buffer again, but lately it seems, especially in the afternoon to in the night that I can't even stream in 320p without having to buffer for more than 5 minutes to watch without it stopping.

    Have a bandwidth reader widget and only have youtube streaming and seeing my download fluctuating between 60+ kbps to about 500+ kbps and my cap should be 800+ kbps.

    Not to mention online gaming, especially League of Legends who just moved their servers closer to us, so now I'm getting pings as low as 70 ms. A while ago I just went in a match and was at 374 ms constantly and multiple modem reboots never helped at all.

    I am not sure what's going on but I'm about to call and find out and can anyone using Flow mention if they are getting the same service or not?

    Can't seem to do a speedtest on the Flow site Lime have up now, but doing it on speedtest.net provided this result that I am not surprised about:

    KMT and to think I used to look forward to getting Flow, now I'm wishing Lime never bought them out as seem they taking up Flow practices which affecting their long time customers.

    I have LIME 8 meg connection, not having any bandwidth issues, hope it remains that way.

    I gather they will be rolling out this week their revamped packages including their quad play services (+ Wifi). It would be interesting to see what changes LIME will make especially to prices now that they have total dominance of landline and broadband internet services once again.
    Any insight into weather Flow will soon abandon their residential DSL service?

    I want to know the same thing cause every time I call them they ask to do bandwidth test and it showing I getting my full speed, but when i start streaming it buffering as I mentioned. I know it not an issue on my end as I'm able to ping google and some other sites no issues, so think I'm going to call them again, cause not my connection at 1 mbps, sigh.

    When they have you those speedtest, aren't they testing the connection between your modem and their server? Or if they are more devious they ask you to use the their speedtest link so that they can prioritize connections to speedtest.

    Honestly they've been a joke for a while. Hopefully with this merge and what not they can start doing what they should've done a long time ago. At late nights I get my proper speed outta the 8mbp/s ( around 885kbps ). But during the day? Garbage. With Flow this never happened, but then again that was cable... when I used it lol... I am just hoping I can switch to flows 20mbp/s plan and call it a day... (You know being that Flow = Lime)
