You're right Dany...at this point cost is the issue because a lot of folks like youself don't use the net much, but without exception, everyone I know that does use it frequently is "salivating" for broadband. I can surf through all my investing info and SI posts in a fraction of the time that I could with a 56k hook up. Ever had a friend send you an e mail attachment that is so huge it takes 15 minutes to download, only to see that it is some stupid cartoon joke, etc. ? now it loads in seconds. This gives me more time to do other "real life" things. I think that the difference is that 56k modems are a product (one time purchase) whereas fat pipes are a service (monthly cost). This may be why the grass roots movement isn't there.
