Re: Available everywhere! I can guarentee that not to be the case, where my parents live in the mountains of CA, the nearest dialup is in the next zip code over, so although its close, its not in their zipcode. The odds of them getting one are zero also-the biggest business in their zipcode is the single small grocery store that serves the town of 2,000 people. Luckily the phone company up there allows it to be a local number so they don't have to pay long distance to dial into it.
They probably have the capability but I don't see anyone ever taking advantage of it, just nothing up there that needs that kind of bandwith.

| My aunt and uncle used to live in rural california and the closest dial up they had was long distance. When they called the phone company, they offered to run a t-1 to they're house for around $40k, then however much it was for monthly service. If you have the $, they WILL run a t-1 anywhere, its just not likely or practical for anyone to do so.

Stockton, CA | I'm sure my parents have fiber passing nearby-lord knows that they run it everywhere now for backbone for phone, but I don't see anyone in that town with the kind of coin needed to tap into it
