A Thread 1/x
As a customer in rural Jamaica, (St. Bess) internet has always been difficult. So Starlink ticks many of the boxes for our situation.
I’ll be giving a breakdown from order to setup, so other persons can know what to expect.
One of my proudest achievements is the number of people I have converted to
@Starlink
in St. Elizabeth.
For every person I turn away from
@FLOWJamaica
I smile. Truthfully I have a vendetta against them for the way they’ve treated me and by extension rural customers.
Whether her decor choice is my taste or not… I’m thoroughly impressed.
House clean, and well appointed.
Inspiring, cuz she’s obviously comfortable and proud of her space. I feel everybody should get to experience that.
Also curious is no 100 medalist made the 200m final. (Fred didn’t start)
Until you can run them times after running the 100m thru rounds….
St. Leo will always be in a totally different league.
Also! shameless plug and announcement.
@Starlink
mini is now available in Jamaica.
It’s portable, and plans now even start at $5500, monthly.
Never a better time to switch to Starlink!

I smile. Truthfully I have a vendetta against them for the way they’ve treated me and by extension rural customers.
My sole purpose is to snatch every single customer I can.
I don’t need to benefit materially…I sleep well knowing everyone one of them will experience good speeds and a seamless experience.
I’ve made the world a better place and that makes me happy.
Ryan….. bawled tears last night when me see roofs just flicking off into the wind.
I haven’t even been able to clear my drive way to make it out, and trust me. It’s worse than imaginable.
Me a hear that Treasure Beach, Flagaman, Southfield 😢, Billy’s Bay mash up. Can’t reach the family but bwoy I’m stressed out in a big way. Roof gone. Shop gone. Oh boy. Should have further word tomorrow 😶
Jamaican Agriculture- a thread.
Jamaica needs an Agricultural Network with huge warehouses and linkages.
Warehouses in key produce regions. 8-10 across the island Farmers have a place to carry produce, higglers have a means of access to produce to then carry to their local market
I’ve not recall seeing this in country. So big up
@kfcjamaica
in Santa Cruz.
Lengthy delay, but orders taken in the line via Tablet. Not too shabby at all.

Be responsible with its use, clear your balance each month. For large, out of the ordinary purchases, learn about Scotia Select-pay and how it may help you with manage that month’s balance.

With one key distinction ! NEVER try to draw money from it at an ATM.
This is classified as a cash advance and attracts a steep fee.

Man between a rock and a hard place....
He feels deeply for you...and it's hard to turn those feelings off...
So you behaving like one of the bros at least kinda helps him to somehow lock those feelings away .....mostly.
@BrayForJade
Vices. Women, bar, gambling.
I know tradesmen’s who earn twice my salary, without a decent roof over their heads, reliable mode of transport.
I wonder about it too often.
@PinkGia7
Many parts of Treasure Beach are swimmable.
Locals are knowledgeable about which parts to go and critically WHEN.
Olde Wharf is notorious for undercurrents…
Frenchman has many trenches…
Calabash Bay, Great Bay and Billy’s bay all have their nuances.
Local knowledge is key

Ms Kelly ...I know I'm but the lowly in SW Saint E. But I've been without service near a year. I've grown tired of promises. And fibre? In rural Jamaica 😅. Pigs will sooner fly. I'm beyond frustrated.
@Mellumjr
I was flat out in a Mark 2 on the East West ..180 on the clock....and a saw a light just drawing up on me rapidly....felt that same buffet as a Audi A7 pass me and disappear...
It was on that day ..that me finally know my place.
18/ Bro I hope you guys appreciate this enuh. I’m currently stuck on my roof, after forgetting that this was the tall side of the house, and the view down looks scary… and I remembered I hate ladders.
On the bright side I can stream Netflix here, and the view is nice 😅
19/ Ok. Last post before bed. So I finally made it back from the roof, and after settling decided to a speedtest from the an ipad in the same room as the Router.
Colour me impressed. I’m happy and can go to bed now.

The cost of 60k is all encompassing.
It includes the kit itself, with cable, and router. The cost of shipping it to JA, clear customs and have DHL delver it to your door.

@Goffeman
You missed out the word more.
More resistant.
As is the case of every variant since the parent virus.
And that still doesn't make the vaccine moot...it means even more so why everyone should. Each variant becomes increasing more deadly.
Starlink Mini $200
Advantages
Portability - About the same size as an A4 paper.
Low power consumption
Idle 20 - 30Watts
40 Watts when running a speed test
@GregyShao
The issue has always been customs duty. The duty on a vehicle for import and associates fees ....is basically the same as the value of the car.
@DavidSconce_
It's literally the car mart capital of Jamaica. They should really capitalize on that. Make Mandeville the place to be if you wanna buy a car.
Complete like heck, and offer all vehicles, heavy trucks, pickups, Germans, everything.

Fully agree. The model was flagship killer, at one point. But they must grow and evolve. Happy they have chosen not to forget their initial customer base.
Also happy we finally seeing expandable storage. 😅
I think we need a

. Major developments should be mandated to have a percentage of their square footage in green space. Doesn’t have to be on the footprint, can be vertical as well. Give rebates for those that meet the standard. Protecting the future, a tree at a time.

Had Flow for a very long time. But we had cable problems… trucks tore down the cable, and took a year to fix. Then started suffering cable theft issues… again without them for over 8 months… till eventually they pretty much said… them nah fix it back.
Brain 🧠 Drain.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 ranks 2nd Globally. Narrowly loosing not, to Somalia, Palestine, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan ….not to a war torn, Civil war having regions.
No we beat all those. Samoa, but their population is only 200k so the math makes sense.
Flabbergasted.
3/ I downloaded the Starlink app, which also allows you to track your order. ( this app should also apparently help setup your Dishy in the right place, speedtest and config and contain account details and stuff)
2 weeks later I received a text message from DHL with a tracking #
It’s shocking to me to realize how many people are hugged deprived. Not by choice, they just haven’t been hugged in a while.
Hug a friend today. Just ask first, if they’d like a hug. You’d be surprised how many say yes. It makes life just a lil better.
5/ DHL gives several options for delivery that you can choose from. I feel for the sake of security, I’ll chose to collect it from a service center.
Only two DHL facilities seem to make this possible- one in Mobay, the other in Kingston.
2/ I placed my order on Oct 24, 2022 and filled in all my details. Since we don’t really have typical addresses that make door to door shipping possible, you may have to select a town that’s closest to you to make it accept your address.
@DatTallUteWes
Yup... It would sooner crumple than split.
Fraid a dem car deh outta US.
Same way me see them "install" a sunroof in a mark x... And all I could think of was the structural integrity is now compromised. Death trap.
You know what doesn’t get enough credit?
Flash Drives.
I remember being in high school and felt like king of the hill with a 1GB flash drive. Could how 3 episodes of my fav series.
Now same size. 1Terabyte. A whole hard drive, but same size. Unbelievably cool.
@mspleasureesq
I doubt it...I use 3 different shipping companies and have USPS issues just the same.
@rocketshipja
is the only one who give me decent updates thou
Munro/Titchfied in terms of location. Naturally beautiful. Hard to choose-Seas vs Mountain.
MC boys raved recently about the IMCH campus too, so I know Immac got some great things going on.
Teaching opportunities overseas in USA end up being a nightmare for many who have not been prepared for what is there to greet them
Here is a an example that many don't want you to be aware of.
Its not easy.
@makeit_rainUH
Imagine being in a car with a nigga....and him beefing with a next nigha...only to hear him beg u pass the bible fi him...
And u feel he was doing conflict resolution.
4/ Based on the tracking info, the shipper is in California and the package has departed from a Long Beach, Miami DHL facility.
Estimated time of arrival is one week later on Nov. 15th. Will see how that works out.
