100% of poor coverage is still poor!!
Lol! I’m usually very critical of Digicel but I can’t help but be impressed with their service during the storm. I never lost voice or data service. And in visiting friends/family in areas that had no service after the storm, I can say that within a day or so, those areas had service. I’m sure its no small task. I think they should be commended for once.
Service was down on my BB before the storm even hit.
My calls keep dropping out – especially in Town. Anyone else?
My service is terrible i must be apart of that 5% not fixed, especially in town as well!
