Indeed, but I guarantee that if you had DSL or Cable for any length of time, you'd never go back. Now that they have airplanes, no one takes a horse & buggy from New York to L.A.

Coming from Mishawaka/Northeast Indiana area, you should know that's not true. There's still lots of horse and buggies being driven around by the Amish. Sure they may not take them from New York to LA, but that doesn't mean that a dial-up user never uses broadband either.

Personally, some form of high-speed internet would probably be the LAST "luxury" I get rid of. If it came down to eating, having a roof over my head, etc and broadband, sure broadband would go. But anymore and it's almost as much of a "necessity" as gas and electric.
