LOL! Guess I still fail. Dial-up still costs me only 10 cents per call,
so I can stay connected the entire evening/night, etc. for just 10 cents.
In the lull I'm in now, I don't bring home lots more than your example an
hour, so $16.50 a month unlimited usage, plus 10 cents a call dial-up
compared to over $60 a month DSL costs, is just easier for me. $198 bucks
a year compared to over $720 DSL a year is a big help to me.
With all the speed, I'd still spend the same amount of time on the net,
(maybe seeing more sites, or spending longer on each one), and you still
only receive the info as fast as the places they're coming from can send
it to you. In the future, I'll get there though!
