Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) is offering wireless broadband service using CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology to provide internet access wherever there is EV-DO coverage.
EV-DO is the acronym for 'Evolution-Data Optimized.' which allows a maximum download speed of 2.4Mbps and upload speed of 153.6Kbps. The average TSTT EV-DO users will experience a download speed of 400 to 700Kbps, or more than 15 times faster than the average TSTT DSL user.

The higher upload and download speeds will greatly increase interactive gaming and video streaming which is still relatively rare among Trinidad and Tobago home internet users. Further to that there will be no requirement for a phone line. In the past potential applicants had to be either the owner of a home line or be so authorised by the owners to act on their behalf; a system that caused regret to many who rented apartments or homes.
