To all those that say that broadband internet is a commodity, I say... "Well, so was running water and POTS service a century ago, too."  Internet access now is about as crucial to business (and personal use) as delivery of clean drinkable water was back when this country was being first settled. And nowadays, in order to be able to access (or share) the types of content being shared on the internet nowadays, you would need broadband level internet access with which to be able to just keep up.
I still remember how painful it was just to even download Service Pack 2 for Windows XP when that came out, since at the time I was suffering through still on just dialup. In short, nearly a full week of lost productivity because of time-outs in mid-download and having to restart the download ad nauseum every time the phone was needed for something else. In all that time, the line was pretty much open to get any other kind of nasty surprise along the way as well.
