Yes! My parents are, and I can't stand it! I told them that when they move, they are forbidden to get dial-up! I NEVER use the net when I'm at their house. It's too stinkin' slow!
Also my friend just moved to a rural house, and she has to have dial up because the phone company won't run a DSL line to her house since she's not close enough to the nearest switch box or whatever she has to be by. The cable company said they'd do it, but it would cost $1200 for them to dig a hole under the street and feed the wire to their side of the street. Then it will cost extra money to attach that money to their house and activate the service. And satellite is just too expensive. So she's stuck with dial up.

I wish I could get a dial-up service that would connect to at least 48bps instead of 28bps because this expensive high dollar directway/hughsnet satillite internet access that I have now sucks.
Download is OK but upload and just browsing is really, really, very, very, slow, slow and plus it goes down all the time.

About 49% of folks on the internet. Not me though. I could never go back to dial-up.
from msnbc:
Sixty-three million Web users connected to the Internet via home broadband links, which include high-speed connections over cable television networks or upgraded phone lines using technologies like ISDN or DSL, it said.
That amounts to 51 percent of U.S. residential users, up from 49 percent in June and from 38 percent just a year earlier. Sixty-one million, or 49 percent of residential users, us narrowband hookups, down from 62 percent last July, Nielsen//NetRatings said.

Last year i was using, coz broadband is quite expensive and i'm using internet alone so cannot afford. But by the end of last year, i upgraded to broadband for free, due to a promotion at that time. So now i have 512 broadband which in fact is quite fast! And per mth only S$26

I would say no, explaining why AOL just pink slipped 300+ people in their "retention department" in Tucson.
