It really is great for DSL (I remember 300Kbps DSL days), but 2.5 is marginal for video streaming which is what you need if you don't want to have to buy Dish/Direct yet want some TV on the island. Yes, once upon a time I was thrilled with 75 Kbps acoustic-coupled dialup teletype, but Internet demands keep ramping up the threshold and if you're gonna have teenage "guests" you're gonna hear some whining.
