Suggestions To Boost My Internet Connection.

Suggestions To Boost My Internet Connection:
I am planning to move to a very rural location in Jamaica for long-term stays that currently is notorious for losing its internet signal. It is situated in a small valley surrounded by high hills and a mountain or two and even with cell towers in the area(about a mile or two away)the signal is spotty at best and the bandwidth dies at night. Add to it being one of those fine Jamaican CBS structures, that stands up well to hurricanes and earthquakes but also is good at blocking signals even with repeaters. That said I need to be able to get phone calls and data calls not dropping or failing to connect, as I have to maintain constant contact with remote work and clients while in Jamaica. So do you think a pricey signal gain antenna for FLOW will rescue me from the stress, or will I have to face the high cost of a Star Link installation?

I suggest Starlink based on what you described that appears to be your better option.

Have you approached Flow to see how they can help?

What is Digicel’s coverage in the area? Have you approached them as well?

I approve this suggestion.

FLOW and Digicel may not help. If there's some coverage somewhere by one of the providers, use of a GSM/4G modem that uses a SIM card may be another option - and it may be what the providers suggest.

Can Starlink work well enough seeing that he is in a valley? Outside of that and they fact you are saying long term and they type of work you need connection for I would say get Starlink as well.

Depending on how close/high the surrounding hills are, the Starlink dish should pickup most of the satellites. The Starlink app can be used to check for obstructions before deciding to proceed with a purchase.
