Ok. this was made in the Sig rules2 thread. I would like to point out, that if you have access to a telephone line. You can get broadband. DSL and ADSL supplies this ability as i&#39;m sure you know. DSL and ADSL are considered a form of broadband. If you mean that they wouldn&#39;t be able to earn enough for broadband (and if so i&#39;m being very ignorant for which i apologise for), then i can only wonder as to why they are surfing at all? For it is in fact more expensive to support dialup, than DSL or ADSL in todays standards.

(EG: In the UK. A 56k account per month is about £10 per month. Or for Pay as you go, it&#39;s something ridiculous like 10p per minute. whilst a a 60k [or around?] is also just £10 per month on DSL, and pay as go is not an option. But then, if they were using pay as you go and had to spend less than £10, i doubt severly, that they would be at this website, seeing as this website is mostly associated with downloading anime/manga one way or another. Even if they did happen on this site, they wouldn&#39;t bother signing the forum with a limit of cost like that, because they wouldn&#39;t have time to mess around with that sort of stuff.)

Also, i would like to point out that in actual fact, the majority of people are on broadband. It&#39;s now a statistical fact. Ever since the release of the first P2P application (Wasn&#39;t that Napster? I don&#39;t really know but as far as i know?), there has been an increased demand for faster internet capabilities. With this demand came faster services, which resulted in the slower services, becoming slightly cheaper with each new release of broadband technology. Seeing as DSL and ADSL now cost practically the same as Dialup, the majority of people who can&#39;t afford broadband like Cable connections, etc. Pay for broadband such as DSL or ADSL, which for the same cost as a 56k is 10kbits faster in speed. Even for the poorest of countries, if they can afford 56k, then the majority of those that can afford a 56k at all go for DSL/ADSL because it&#39;s the most economical thing to do with cost and access. It&#39;s now the Minority of the worlds population that uses a 56k, and that&#39;s only because they don&#39;t realise they could get better service for the same cost.

just to prove my point here. I would like everyone to state if they have Broadband (DSL, ADSL, Cable, T-Connection, Satellite, etc), or if they still use a dialup modem of some sort (excluding DSL/ADSL, because the modem digitises the information before it is sent out, it therefore counts as broadband.).

I bet the majority of ppl here use broadband. I&#39;m confident on this matter, and if i&#39;m wrong, then i&#39;m a very very stupid, ignorant, and overly confident.

[Prays to god he isn&#39;t wrong now, and sweats it out a little.]

(Please don&#39;t take any of this personally btw. I just feel like there is misinformation roaming around. If i am incorrect, please feel free to flame me and make a total idiot of me. Mocking is also allowed, but only if i&#39;m wrong =P )
