So I'm an IT Professional and I must say I was very impressed with how this was delivered.. Ire basically lectured a crash course in networking and telecommunications right here.. love it ☺️
Believe me a lot of so-called professional or IT technicians are learning how to explain this whole thing from this video. They do the work but can't explain how it's done. Thank God for your level of education and patience in doing your research. You are the best in my opinion....respect all the way from the USA
I work in IT as a web developer. Very impressed by this video. This channel consistently shines for quality of research and its ability to transmit and explain it to where everyone can understand. I really think this skill is underrated and underappreciated so I wanted to show my appreciation. Great work, as always. I am in the US but lucky to have you in JA.
I'm in the technology field myself and am up on Starlink. Even ordered it last week for my father living in the hills of Clarendon, Jamaica. I was impressed with Irena's knowledge of the topic and her deft way of explaining it in simple terms. Well done Irina.
Cable and wireless is an old throwback to the way that cables were sent under the British systems. In fact AT&T model their system from the cables and wireless systems in Jamaica 🇯🇲
This is the only program about Jamaica that I really watch steadfastly. And every time when I watch, I'm increasingly impressed with your presentations. It is so extremely well put-together and superbly professional, that it often left me speechless. While I send your links all around to my friends and relatives - who live both in Jamaica and abroad. People with interests in Jamaica, who are not watching your videos, are losing out big time!
Wow I felt like I was in a class. Was vary attentive as to what you were saying. I now have a better understanding about internet and the way it really operates. Thank you again always informative.....Miami in house.
For me Digicel and Flow is out because no cables pass my house not even JPS. I have to use Solar and Satellite Internet. The internet I have now is so bad, mobile data is worst. I am interested in Starlink. The price is not bad for what it says it is offering. Thank you for the information.
Competition is good for the citizens. Thank you Irena, this was beautifully delivered. Now some of the monopoly will end, and some of these companies will begin to value their customers. Flow customer service, and the services they provide overall is the worst I've seen. Can't believe they stay in business with such poor service. Some people in the rural areas said to me "its better than nothing ". I can never understand this saying when you are paying monthly fees for a service that you can't use. My sister didn't have usable service for almost a year, she puts service from the same company flow, on to her cell phone, and still couldn't make a call through what's app. She had to spend more money to make direct calls. She was promised compensation, and she's still waiting for that months later. I do hope that they reduce their high monthly price and in addition, deliver good, consistent and reliable service....otherwise they will definitely lose customers
This is really great news because that is what is needed in Jamaica competition flow treats us like nothing because they know they are the hot shot in town so I hope their service will improved you don't have to stand up in line for 4 hours just to get some service
This is the second best news I've heard today. Absolutely wonderful news, and about time too...Thank you Irina for this great piece of news. Absolutely welcome news.
We pre-ordered ours almost 2 years ago when it was still in beta. They told us end of 2022 for our location. they finally shipped it,it's in customs right now..we are very excited. We are located in Portland JA. We are running a business that rely on internet . Flow seems to drop service every time it rains...so this is why we looked into star link . Let's see how it goes once we get it.
Irene you are a gem. Every time I watch your videos I learn at lot. Your videos should be on TVJ and the Jamaican Government Information Website. Stay safe and bless.
From I switched to Digicel I never look back at Flow. I live in Spanish Town and Digicel is in St. Catherine as well as Kingston. Starlink is something I have been following for awhile. Great video.
🇯🇲 Thanks again Irene for untangling the unknown & the complex bits of analog/digital $pace. Crossing my fingers & legs for the day third & fourth parties brave enough to venture into the energy secter to make JPS a footnote of our history.
Yes, I agree with this. I want to see green renewable energy in Jamaica, something that does not rely on fossil fuel to make electricity. Utility scale wind, solar, combined with battery storage. Only then energy prices will come down in Jamaica and that in itself will be helpful to the local economy. Energy independence.

@@ianwint2292 I have a video on my channel mentioning this. It's in the 60 years of independence Part 2, Did Life Improve (I talk about solar and wind farms in Jamaica, but very short info on them)
Boy am I glad to hear this, Flow has had the monopoly on the Internet for far to long, all you are saying is so true, I've lived here for 15y and in all that time not a lot has improved, At one stage we had no system for 6mths owing to the fact the cables had been stolen for the copper, I spent so much time complaining at the office, i had a season ticket (joke) so thank you so much 😊,
Irina, stellar presentation as usual....I learnt a lot. Also, kudos to my fellow subscribers for providing additional info on this topic. I was particularly interested in donating a starlink to a communuty and will check it out.
Thanks Irena, for bringing StarLink to my attention! Excellent video. As an IT Pro, I am anxiously awaiting your UA-cam review on its performance when your kit arrives.
Well researched and well delivered. This has been a game changer for rural areas where it’s available, just be realistic and know that weather and congestion will be a factor in speeds to end users. Some service beats no service every day of the week so the net benefit for Jamaica will be great.
Thanks a lot for a very informative and timely well researched production. I agree with the majority sentiment here. You're doing a great job and I look forward to the follow up.
Irina,I learn't so much about the internet and how it works in this video. I'm always telling people how well researched you are in your videos. I think that it's really great that Jamaica has been able to connect to Starlink an reap the benefits of the latest in communications technology.
I'm a big fan of spacex and tesla, I always knew about star link but I didn't really look if it was available in Jamaica. This was awesome to watch thank you
I’d been considering Starlink and so this video is very helpful. So well presented. You’re videos are always so great. Thank you for doing what you do.
Your video was great. It was filled with valuable information and it was presented in an excellent manner. I live in Spanish Town and I've been using Digicel since 2016. I have found them to be second to none in terms of their internet products. I used to be a C&W customer (before they bought FLOW) and I fled to FLOW because of shoddy service. Unfortunately, they followed me, and my business suffered as a result of this. I doubt if I will ever use Starlink but I am excited to have a new player in the market, especially for the benefits stiffer competition will provide. I'm also intrigued by their technology and what they may become in another 5 to 10 years. Thanks again for the info and all the best.
I would love for you to do a video on the OUR (Utility regulations) and how they do nothing to help citizens that complain about poor utility services. I have had no internet with Flow for a year now as you've said, their customer service sit around a desk telling you that the internet is showing active on their system and if I've rebooted the modem... I am so fed up of them...
Thanks so much for this information, I will be looking into this for our St.Elizabeth house in the mountains. That house never seems to get any service until you're at a certain spot 😀, 😀 and you can not move or else you will lose connection. 😀
I am very impressed with this explanation, Love watching your videos. I use to be in IT in Jamaica ,very impress .lots of Hours went into this . Please appreciate it !!!!!
Irina, very informative video following on from the last one. I am happy to see Jamaica getting Starlink as an option. I think tho' that fibre is the way to go but, still, the gov't should incentivize this roll-out as much or more so than highways. Just my 2 cents. It could only benefit more people more people have access to reliable internet and the prices come down more. PS. One of the best "normal pe'ple" explanation of internet speed and latency I've heard.
Thanks Irie. Well informed video and the possibility of getting more affordable options in Jamaica. Would like to see a video about possible, safe online jobs you can do in Jamaica. All the best
Thank you greatly for the info. But with the set up and running costs of Starling it's going to be a long long time before it becomes mainstream. Those prices will need to come downhill. Fast.
Irina, thanks for the information. I now have second thought has it relates to the internet in Jamaica! Again thanks and keep sending us great content as you always do.
In my area, there was installation of fiber by the original Flow company along with expansions to the surrounding areas. This however changed when Cable and Wireless purchase Flow to use there name. The Fiber expansion by the competition stopped and we were only offered Cable and Wireless service and no exceptions.
The problem is that local companies had only the ownership of the cables, but were still getting the internet from C&W. When Lime (owned by C&W) joined with Flow and C&W retired the brand Lime and started using the brand Flow, the internet supply didn't change - there had never been any competition, since all internet was coming from C&W submarine cables anyway. The only real competitor on telecommunication market is Digicel. Everything else is either owned by C&W or small local companies buying from C&W or Digicel. By the way, C&W was bought by Liberty Global and now belongs to Liberty Latin America, so now it's owned by an even bigger company.
Hey! I've had flow at my house in Montego Bay for $5,800 Jamaican for about a year now. I am very interested in the starlink, but since I'm not there full-time I'm not sure how I can get it build correctly if you have to be there to pay for it. We can only get back three times a year for now. However that upfront fee for starlink is a little rich for my blood. Also I had one problem with the cable box that I believe got hit by lightning and their customer service was fantastic and it was replaced in one day. This video was fantastic I appreciate all you do
Payments for starlink are all done online, you can be anywhere and still have it running in Jamaica. I'm not sure if Starlink can be "paused", but this should be the option, so you'd only pay for it when using it.
hey Steve would you like to add IPTV channels to your internet here in Jamaica?fact that you're not here all the time ,you can take or use the service overseas with you,it comes on a device so you can basically take it with you anywhere you have internet access
I love ur videos. They come with so much facts and not assumptions. You make it clear to us, what to do if we are interested in something you say. You’re a little investigator😂😂😂
Irene continue the wonderful work you are doing with Jamaica. You are definitely an icon and have many respects from Jamaicans...many thanks Irene....big up ☝
Amazing presentation as I have come to expect Irene. Just got Flow but I am concerned about its reliability and have been looking for a viable alternative. This is perfect timing for me. Thanks again.! You are a National treasure😁 My next stop is Patreon. You earned it
I hope you realize these are Jamaican Dollars. The $60,500 (roughly $400 USD) is a ONE TIME FEE for the Equipment; which is CHEAPER than I pay for a Phone that lasts 3-years before I have to get a New one. The $8,450 (approximately $55 USD) per month is Cheaper than I pay for my Internet Service here in the States. As a Jamaican from Rural Jamaica, and knowing the difficulty with Internet Service in my Hometown (I go back home frequently), I would readily consider this Starlink Option, if I were to move back TODAY....But who knows what Options might be available in 10-15 Years (the Time Frame when I hope to move back), and the costs accordingly.
Irene good information. You didn't mention that Cable and Wireless bought Columbus Communication/Flow infrastructure and merge as one company. Columbus Communication/Flow at the time had good Fibre Optics infrastructure in Kingston, Portmore and some parts of St. Andrew. Flow/Cable an Wireless now had early start with Fibre Optics internet than Digicel but failed to capitalize on that advantage and timely upgrade of their infrastructure. For the short time Digicel has been in Jamaica they have come a far way thus have the better overall Broadband/Mobile internet in Jamaica 🇯🇲 💯

Hi Irena, as an electronics engineer i am very impressed with your knowledge on internet. Also, I actually learnt a few things from you. Thanks.

Looking forward to seeing your practical video..I did not know that Starlink was already here
Thanks Irene for this good information. Not every thing is bad in Jamaica as some would want us living overseas to believe.
Thank you so much for covering this, very exciting news. Once again you hit it out of the ballpark!
Wow I felt like I was in a class. Was vary attentive as to what you were saying. I now have a better understanding about internet and the way it really operates. Thank you again always informative.....Miami in house.
Incredible information, and not just for Jamaica! Thank you, again, for your research and adept delivery!

Payments for starlink are all done online, you can be anywhere and still have it running in Jamaica. I'm not sure if Starlink can be "paused", but this should be the option, so you'd only pay for it when using it.

hey Steve would you like to add IPTV channels to your Flow service?
I love star link ...hope they reduced the price to access it...that way more people in Jamaica can afford to use starlink
DUE FEE IS $60,500.00 AND MONTHLY SEVICE IS $8,4500.00
I hope you realize these are Jamaican Dollars. The $60,500 (roughly $400 USD) is a ONE TIME FEE for the Equipment; which is CHEAPER than I pay for a Phone that lasts 3-years before I have to get a New one.
