19% Of Dial-Up Users Say They'll Never Use Broadband
35% of dial-up users say they'll only switch when prices drop...
According to a new report (pdf) From the Pew Internet & American Life Project, even if a broadband stimulus plan brings broadband to the un-served nooks and crannies of the country, many still might not sign up for service because of cost. The survey of 4,254 people, done last year, indicates that 35% of dial-up users (representing just 2% of all adults) want the price to drop before signing up for service. 19% of dial-up users say nothing would get them to switch. 33% of non-Internet users (8.3% of adults) say they're not interested in getting online at all, while 13% say they don't switch because they can't get access.

10% AOL users

Those 10% are probably the AOL users who enjoy riding the "short bus" of technology.
