As a family of four Internet access is very important to us. DSL cost is modest, about $30 per month. We'll give up lots of other stuff before we give up Broadband Internet access.
I maintained backup dialup account for a long time after we got DSL. Finally dropped it several years ago. As web sites optimize for broadband with image heavy content using dialup becomes too painful. Besides services like: Youtube, Netflix, Hula, and Software updates don't work with dialup or take hours or days to download.
If Broadband ISPs start seeing a significant decline in subscribers they can always come out with entry level packet to compete with dialup.
