for those of you using mifi (5gb capped) on verizon i would highly suggest you look into sprint and an HTC EVO. even though we dont have 4g on this island. The plan includes unlimited 3g and 4g data, and if you (dont root) you can pay $30/month additional and then the phone works as an UNLIMITED 3g access point. and if you dont need it wireless tehter and can deal with USB tether, you can do that with pdanet or easytether and not pay an extra 30/month for the access point feature (or just root the phone). but dont get stuck with those stupid 5gb caps on att and verizon. I dont work for sprint but i just like to use data and i use a lot of it.
to address the DSL issue on the topic, you can get dsl in these areas, the no ports is true, hitel has many microDSLAMS spread thoughout the various subdivisions and they have very limited ports. so it could that one part of the subdivision has available ports and other areas do not. You simply have to call hawaiian tel (643-3456) every single morning when they open and try to place an order. you must do this everyday first thing otherwise risk someone else ordering before you when a port is available.
if you are lucky enough to get Road Runner it hauls ass on this island.
