I've had speeds drop as low as 2.94Mb down and 4.27Mb up. And I can't hear anything about the upgrade from HFC to GPON regardless of which person I speak to. Customer service says talk to the store. The store says they are not rolling out GPON at this time. And technicians I know say it should be available in my area since other communities close by actually have it available. So....yeah.

Quick Update: FLOW's launched 4 new bundles under the brand "DO IT"
I decided to take the plunge and move from the Flame bundle (60 Down/5 up) to the Do It More bundle, which tops out at 100 Mbit/s on the download & curious vacillations between 5 to 10 Mbit/s.
Here's are some screenshots.
Both tests happened on 802.11ac (Wave 1) devices. Peak speeds were observed hitting past 120+ Mbit/s. For the upload, I'm seeing peaks up to 35 Mbit/s; very heartening! Let's see what comes in the run down till Christmas!
For added clarity, I'm located within the boundaries of the city of Montego Bay.
So 100 down and 10 up. Not bad
I have been on the Blaze bundle for nearly a year now. I guess they renamed it to Do IT ALL? I test my speed now and again to check that I get what I'm paying for. Nothing has changed

I'd say to stay tuned. Based on what I'm hearing, there's a lot of work happening to move above the 150 Mbit/s mark, as they move to full IPTV on their new TV Product (compliments of Liberty Latin America's new Arris set-top box). It just launched in Panama, which has speeds starting out at 150 Mbit/s up to 1 Gbit/s. Given that the Panamanian market & Jamaican market are equally weighted (from what I see), I see linearity coming soon in that regard.
That's one good thing which came out of COVID. The problem now - it still takes a number of days to upload 50GB. And that's little to nothing if you do video editing.

Did anyone listen to the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister? Maybe I should start a new thread for this if I can find details anywhere.
They claim they will build an all-island fiber network owned and managed by the government through which ISPs will deliver service. I'm always skeptical of anything government managed; however, if it's anything like this:
I'm all for it.
OK I added the video link to government speech. Maybe I didn't hear ~fiber~. But they did say broadband network
