I'm getting broadband soon (i'm using horrible AOL right now (good riddens)) with SBC. The reason I switched, was both because of the cost (SBC was offering $30 DSL per month for a year) and because I like nix* based operating systems. So I download distributions constantly when I can find a computer with a cd writer and a speedy link.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I know that one appeal of broadband to many people is to use P2P applications. I doubt many people will admit it, but i've seen people go and use broadband just to use it for P2P. The speeds are what draws people, and generally a more enjoyable experience.....Because downloading FreeBSD 4.8RELEASE disc 1 can take a week on 56k  instead of 3-5 hours on DSL or cable | |
