HELLO! Good Day!
DO YOU KNOW?
WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
Flamingo TV CABLE internet or TELEBON wireless internet?

Too early to say. I just got my FTV Internet connection installed Wednesday, and it certainly faster than Telbo's Wireless service, when it works (it's flaky in my neighborhood right now). However, the Telbo Wireless service was pretty flaky the first few weeks we had it running too.

I'd wait another month to see how their services develop and stabilize.

Jake,
Have you done any testing to see how the heavy rains we've been having interfere with your wireless link? Does it stay up, change data rates or QOS? We've had some rains at our place lately that were so heavy we couldn't see to the road in front of the house. And that's when we go online the most. Also, have the rolling power outages shut down service at all?

The heavy rains over the last few days have not really affected the wireless link. However, I have seen other unexplained outages, but at times different from the times of the down pours.

And no, the power outages have not shut down service - they have UPSes and generators at all key facilities (at least I know we continue to be able to connect to the outside world when we are on battery power...)
