In 2011, Midcoast Internet Solutions setup a 105 home fiber-to-the-home network on Squirrel Island off the Maine coast. This was done using standard SM WDM fiber ethernet equipment to provide up to 100mb ethernet to each home. The Internet backbone connection is a 100mb wireless link to a Midcoast.com tower a few miles away. There are no landline phones (or cable tv) on the island. Many happy netflix viewers after this project was installed. With new transceivers and switches, the network could be gigabit to the home, but the current wireless backhaul options don't yet make that sensible.
