Summary

In February 2019, Beaver Island forum participants described buffering and uneven Internet performance. One user reported a 3.41 Mbps download and 0.58 Mbps upload result; another, near the telephone office, said a nominal 50/10 TDS connection rarely reached its advertised download rate.

Evidence limits

These are contemporaneous resident measurements and testimony. They do not establish island-wide speed, cause, provider performance, or service coverage.

One resident reported a 3.41 Mbps download and 0.58 Mbps upload measurement while experiencing buffering. Another, closer to the telephone office, said a 50/10 TDS connection rarely reached its advertised download speed but usually approached its upload speed. These are individual measurements and observations, not provider telemetry or an island-wide performance survey.
