Most would be thrilled with 3 MB
We get 1.5, very reliable and we were very happy. We are very far from the CO in the middle of the broads side of the island. Friends on the north end get 3.
Snake Eyes has been running through DSL all winter.
FairPoint office has no clue what is and is not available. They send the wrong modems, tell you you don't need an installer, etc. You need to make sure you get the modem or modem/router, and you do definitely need the installer to come to the island. Most of the older island homes have corroded phone connections and these need to be replaced. The installer is terrific, knowledgeable and will do everything needed to get you going. The FairPoint office on the other hand, needs to be coaxed into giving you what you need.
For those spoiled by cable speeds, don't expect much. For those of use that had mobile broadband and dial up on the island... you will be very happy.
