Tessa Jno Baptiste, a social media user, stated, “Digicel, stop talking nonsense about good service for money. That’s the worst service on the island. That’s why everyone is going to flow. Trust me, I preferred SAT AND MARTIN.”
Craige Francois, another user, stated, “So all the bills are going up. When is the salary going up to surpass these bills? Must be people will have to choose between eating and technology sometime soon. This is madness. Domlec then Dowasco, now digicel, flow next? And the more u pay, the worse their service becomes; where’s the money going?”
“There is not enough competition in Dominica, and that’s why the prices for internet and cable packages are so high. There are places where internet is $25 USD (currency conversation) per month and that includes cable and data for up to 5 family members. Just saying.“ Onezerofour Thom another user added.
