Re: if you can get dsl or cable in your area

Keep in mind that DSL still has a relatively small footprint (particularly in more rural areas) compared to cable and dialup. So for many people it's either dial-up for ~$20 or cable for $40+. For casual users it's, I imagine, had to justify the added expense of cable.

Re: if you can get dsl or cable in your area

My parents live out in the boons, but do have DSL as an option. They stick with dial-up though, because they log on a couple time a week to check e-mail. The bad part is they are on AOL. I've been trying to get them off, but no dice. I don't blame them for sticking with dial-up, but wish they'd get off AOL. It even makes there computer run slower than constipation.
