Probably because their wireless equipment is the bottleneck and they are utilizing a mesh network topography which means bottlenecks impact other customers. The article stated that their backhaul uplink was on 70Mbps for the whole island.
Seeing as they're using Ubiquiti equipment, I'm not sure why they are not using of their Gbps setups for the backhaul at least.

They run a hub and spoke topology. Each repeater has multiple radios. Even so, they have serious problems if they can't sustain their 30 Mbps peak usage with their wireless equipment.
