I can certainly believe that. A while ago my family was thinking about the USVI (probably STT or STJ) for a vacation villa. Naturally, what I was concerned with was internet connectivity. So I researched what is offered there and I was appalled at how expensive it was and even worse, how slow it was for how much it cost. As you note, getting sufficient backhaul there will likely be the biggest challenge. Hopefully, they already have some kind of plan in place. According to their map, AT&T claims to have "4G" HSPA+ there. I wonder what they're doing for backhaul.
