even that is not happening all that often anymore since everyone has DSL these days

No they don't. I can't get DSL at my house. We are too far from the central office.

Guess where I live?

*waves to Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Adobe, all of which are within a few miles of me*

oh the irony.

We are surviving on the local free wireless with dialup as a backup, but being free, the wireless is not the best thing in the world (I would estimate about 75-80% uptime with certain recurring problems).

In the event of internet catastrophe, I can download stuff at work, but still, it's annoying. Website design these days often assumes everyone has broadband, and a significant percent of the time, I don't.

Broadband coverage is better in Canada, Europe, and even parts of east Asia than it is in the US.
