Luddites, absolutely not! Some of are in the Internet 3rd-World called
the USA where broadband is absolutely *not* available. Only option here
aside of dialup is satellite that is only recently drop from a stunning
$900 setup fee to $500 and a near $80 per month subscription's and
that's asymmetrical, upload speeds and not that impressive!
BTW I have a fairly good dialup and and an excellent USR V-Everything
modem and at 44-48K connections only produces max 5.x Kb/sec transfers.
Highly doubt anyone could get 10Kb/sec!

Take care,
