I'm sure it costs Fairpoint more than it makes to supply and support (plant wise) DSL on islands and at remote points. I could give you 10 megs on my little wireless system, but there would be no way to even break even with the ongoing support, never mind recoup the investment I would need to make.

I hope some magical breakthrough happens in technology, or Bill Gates decides to become an island dweller, but I'm not holding my breath.
