Summary

In April 2011, forum participants compared TDS internet tiers for email, Skype, and streaming, and discussed an AT&T MiFi portable hotspot. The discussion concluded that the MiFi depended on working AT&T cellular coverage, which was unreliable in some Island locations.

Evidence limits

These are resident experiences and product explanations, not a provider speed test, contract record, or island-wide coverage measurement.

Beaver Island Forum, "TDS Internet speed ?" and "AT&T Mobile Hotspot MiFi 2372," April 25–29, 2011.
Residents discussed 1 Mbps versus 5 Mbps TDS service, seasonal billing, practical Skype and streaming limits, and an AT&T MiFi device. Participants emphasized that the MiFi required an AT&T service area, so these are household observations and product guidance, not a speed test or carrier coverage survey.
