have to comment. The facts are simply not in their favor.
Their smaller player had 73% population coverage at November's end with most places getting access to not just LTE but LTE-Advanced, which Digicel hasn't even in Kingston fully. Even more incendiary was the "fastest data network" claim which is objectively inaccurate as according to
Ookla. Heck, those stats were before FLOW turned on LTE Advanced. With FLOW now pumping speeds of near 400 Mbit/s on the downlink and up to 100 Mbit/s on the uplink, it makes my blood boil to think that Digicel won't do right by its customers and provide comparable uncompromised service.
WHY does Digicel insist in hiding behind falsehoods to sell Jamaicans a service that's frankly DoA?
Marketing plain and simple. Everything in the statement doesn't have to be true.
