Looking for some advice for longterm internet access on the island. We have had a family home on the island since the 1960's and have strived to keep it a place to detach from work. Over the years we have had a phone line with dialup internet in the 90's-2000's. Once our Cellphones could roam on the island that has been sufficient and we have not looked to add an on island connection. During the last hurricane we lost our landline that was rarely used except to place reservations for dinner. We're now looking to relocate for the fall and will need reliable high speed internet to connect the kids with school and us with work. Talking with France telecom it appears I would need to be on the island with my passport to get the process going of a new line and an ASDL modem, this could take months and ultimately could be a good option. I am wondering if Orange or another cellular provider has a cell to wifi box and a nearly unlimited plan that could be purchased upon arrival. I have looked at oranges website however it was not clear whats offered on the island. Your help is much appreciated.
