As hard to believe as it may seem, a new study released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project suggests that many dial-up customers do not want broadband. Huh? There are people out there happy they are on dial-up? Surely they must be joking!
Only 14 percent of dial-up users say they're stuck with the older, slower connection technology because they can't get broadband in their neighborhoods, Pew reported Wednesday. Thirty-five percent say they're still on dial-up because broadband prices are too high, while another 19 percent say nothing would persuade them to upgrade. The remainder have other reasons or do not know.
