We just found this short announcement on The test bed.

Its official Broadband is now more popular than Dial-up with 50.7% of net users, using broadband, according to a National Statistics report released today. And with pricing so low, there is no reason to still be on dial-up considering the benefits.

A look at the National Statistics report reveals that in January 2001, when the index of internet connectivity started, less than 1% of internet connections utilized broadband technology. In less than 6 years Broadband High Speed Internet Connections have become the preferred method of connecting to the World Wide Web.

May we disagree with The test bed? For those who only use the internet to check email, engage in an occasional IM, and look at a few pages per week, dial-up should do just fine. Many providers are now offering dial-up internet access for less than $8.00 per month. In addition, most dial-up ISP s are seeing a decline in internet access subscribers because of the growth of Broadband services. The result for many may be easier connections and faster service.

Dial-up may be down, but it's not dead, YET.
