Although I do not want to ignore dial up users, if we want to make a
choice, and we can significantly boost somehow our on-line identity,
then it might be good to have some numbers.
In the old continent (Europe) these are the numbers published by
EuroStat, an official body of the EU.
I believe that I read the numbers correctly when I say that ~80% of
the European households with an internet connection has a broadband
internet connection:

Of course, when we are considering the 3rd world, we definitely
shouldn't make a website that is demanding from a bandwidth perspective.
Nor is it good for server traffic.
Well, I know this is a terribly weak way to contribute to what has been
a very interesting conversation - but one source for usage stats,
including broadband vs dial-up can be found at:
