Choosing a Digicel 4G Modem

Ok guys, there seems to be a shortage of information on what exactly to get when you go to the Digicel 4G Store. Being the good person I am I can no longer leave this blog dormant, I must inform the people. *done with the self praise*

So if your like me, you're not very satisfied with LIME, you can't get FLOW and you're not really looking in the direction of the small wireless carriers. In addition, you don't want to pay any line rental fees or what ever other fees LIME wishes to force on you, you desire a no hassle internet connection that's on when you want it to and off when you don't, something flexible, like your prepaid phone, the answer lies in the image to the left.

Once you're in the coverage area your good to go, getting speeds *in reality from my experience* up to 4 Mbps rarely more, but that's good enough to watch YouTube, hang out on Facebook and get some work done at the same time. But of the 3 modems currently being offered which is best for you?

USB Stick Modem - If your thing is being on the road all the time with your laptop, maybe for business purposes or otherwise the USB Stick Modem is the thing for you, not for indoor use, perfect for the outdoors. Nothing else to plug in, just put that thing in and you're good to go.

CPE WiFi Modem - This is a pretty one, and works really well if your getting full coverage, otherwise you'll be having a lot of little browsing issues. Its expensive, however for the price you get to connect wirelessly via WiFi *my dogs name* and also get 4 Ethernet ports.

CPE Standard Modem - Now this is my favourite one, this is cheaper, no WiFi built in, but it gets the 4G signals where the beautiful WiFi Modem can't. Its easy to set-up and position and is just all round the best choice for home internet usage. If I were to recommend a Modem from Digicel this would be the one, if you want WiFi the get the Standard Modem and Wireless Router bundle.

So there you have it, information for my people. Talk to you next post.
