Funny, you left off the most common answer (and one that I use too).. Why? I
pay about $9 a month for dialup, and cable is about $50 a month.... Why
spend about $40 a month, just to get junkmail/spam faster?

Or how bout I travel a lot, and the broadband will only work when I am at
one place, not the 50 weeks a year I travel....:)
