Where the heck did he get his numbers? All bet I know; how many people with broadband connections also have a dialup modem with a small number of hours allocated to a dialup account each month. They never use it but it is there. I was asked a one point by Qwest if I wanted to set up such a dialup account, for back up, and the lady seemed surprised when I told her I wasn't interested that I had not dialup modem installed in my computer for years.

| Re: 55% using dial-up ...I'll bet you're right.
There's a deal like that here. Pretty sure SBC does it, but I know for sure a smaller outfit near here does this for their customers. Even though it's there, nobody really uses it, let alone knows that it's there. A friend of mine has the option of using the dialup from this company, never has, but they set it up as part of the included deal.
Good luck Qwest. I bet tons of people would pay for turbo fiber connections. | |

@gatesfoundation.org | He's assuming that anyone not using Qwest DSL is on dialup. | |

Bollocks to the cures... maybe we can get Bill to kick down for some fiber in PDX and Seattle :-D
(ok, kidding, we need cures for disease far more than fiber broadband) | |

| No dial-up around here either. It's a poor 4 or 6? whatever Comcast or 1.5 QWEST with no 7s here on my block. If I were to move two blocks East or Southeast I could get the 7s. This is ridiculous!
We need and want choices. I call every once in awhile and bug them (QWEST)about upgrading here! That is how this apartment complex got cable (Excite@Home), I started calling every two weeks for over a year!
Just start calling and telling them you are very interested in their services. | |
