Summary

In April 2007, Grand ISP advertised accelerated dial-up service for Beaver Island residents at $7.95 per month, claiming speeds up to five times standard dial-up. The thread describes a compression/acceleration product rather than true broadband service.

Evidence limits

This is a provider advertisement, while the technical limitations come from participant discussion. It does not establish measured speeds, subscriber numbers, or reliable island-wide availability.

The provider advertised accelerated dial-up at up to five times standard dial-up speed for $7.95 per month, using a local Charlevoix number. Replies correctly note that this was an accelerator rather than true broadband and that the number could be a toll call; no performance data are preserved.
