Summary
The April 2008 Beaver Beacon published an early user report on TDS DSL, which had been active on Beaver Island for about two weeks. The writer described self-installation as quick and the connection as unusually fast and glitch-free, while the notice also directed readers to TDS and mentioned Central Solutions’ broadband service.
Evidence limits
This is an individual early-use report, not a speed test, service-availability map, outage log, contract, or representative survey.
