don't know about IDSL for residential use (that's my interest) and the pricing...but Marina Village (on the main island vs Bay Farm/Harbor Bay) actually is some distance away. the important distance is that between the installation site and the CO plus the factors related to the condititon of the copper enroute so even being within the desirable perimeter you may not have a viable service - as I understand it. PacBell said it wouldn't work for me but then neither does the pricing nor the benefits - all skewed the wrong way! Probably 56K modem service isn't viable either for the reason of the condition of the copper and the distance to the CO. Dee Jay
