The new lower tiers are priced such that they could get a large number of users to switch from dial-up. And the price drops on their faster tiers could get some users to switch from cable as well.
I'm willing to say no. The dial-up users don't want to "spend that much money" on internet access. If they can find something for $9.99 a month, they'll stick. Trust me I have an Aunt and Uncle like that, they won't spend the extra $10 a month and get basic DSL, oh and you can throw a rock at their CO from their house.
Yea, lots of these people still have Win98 machines, because 'this one works just fine!'. I put some old parts of mine into my mother-in-law's machine, enough that it would run Vista, but she still won't switch from dial-up.
