Internet Services in Long Island Bahamas:

We do not currently have DSL and local phone servcie available at our villa.
We are however working on it.
Once it is connected there will be a $30 connection fee if you would like this service.
and we must know 30 days in advance if you want it hooked up so we can let the service people know in
advance to put it on their schedule.

For now free internet is available if you were to order a meal at the following restaurants:
Long Island Breeze Restaurant (Salt Pond) - close to our home.
Letta's or Max's Conch Bar - (Deadman's Cay)
Coco's

If you have an international Bahamas card, it would be less expensive than one from a different country.

If you have the capabilities to insert a Simm Card into your telephone,
you can get one at BTC (in Simms or Deadman's Cay) to use while you are on the island.
Simm Cards come in 25, 50 or 100 minute increments.
My suggestion is to first check your telephone to see if it works, if not,
stop at BTC on the way back to the villa - it will save you a 20 mile trip.

You can also purchase a cell phone at BTC for $100.
