It is the only Liberty brand modem capable of D3.1.

    As for the speeds they offer now... they're paltry. Seriously paltry. Your top-end is at 150 Mbps?? In 2020??? It's a crying shame... their newer modems can do up to 1000 Mbit/s! This is a crime!
    Trinidad Paying for those speeds though. I think Flow probably has a distribution problem as most of their modems should be at least Docsis 3.0 now so higher uploads should be possible. The minimum upload should be 25Mbps in this day and age.

    Regular consumer internet seems optimized for watching tv. I watch everything is 480p. I would watch it in black and white if I could find some.

    Not sure if network not back 100% or maybe Flow did some Torrent streaming optimizations... but I'll monitor and see what's what...
    OK, Streaming seems to be back to normal... Watch bout 3 4K movies (10-40GB) lastnight into this morning, no issues...

    My speed still has not increased, i called flow today and the agent told me i probably have too many devices connected thats why im not seeing the speed upgrade lol. After some back and forth about how i determined my speed was not upgraded they did some checks and then came back and said the upgrade is still pending on some accounts with mine being one of them so i just have to wait. Guess is next year before i see the extra 5mbs.

    Upgraded. All packages should be getting 5Mb up. Since the upgrade I've been getting nothing past 2.5Mb. Downloads are fine. Account is fine according to tech support. Level 2 claims there should be no issues. More than a month of issues. Only good thing is - latency and dropped packet issues now resolved. Oh - and they removed my static IP after it took them 3 weeks to give it back since the modem replacement. Good stuff. This is how we SLOW.

    Here's hoping the network will be more stable when they finally fix everything and roll out to all users.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    I was on the Essential package before at 25Mbps download and 1Mbps upload.
    On December 1 2019, FLOW upgraded me to 50Mbps download and 5Mbps upload.

    I'm happy.

    As long as bill nuh increase then I will take that free upgrade. Not even sure if I got it already cause was already ok with whatever I was getting. They still need to get some competition though so those prices can come down.

    Looks like Flow recently bumped up the down speed again... should be getting 75mbps down on Fire bundle now getting close to 100Mbps down over the past few days... now getting confirmation via email:
    "The enhanced TV Max and Fire bundle will now provide:

    37 additional channels filled with exciting content for you to enjoy!
    A complimentary speed increase on your broadband internet services.
    "
    dem still not touching the up speed, remains at 5Mbps
