A little off line, but that list of legacy domains for Earthlink was depressing....
I used to support about a third of those domains, the ones from the failed Volaris/Duro Communications experiment (several for over 5 years).
Dial-up support was the best, especially the midnight shift...

I know a ton of people who are exactly as you said in your post. They don't want broadban, mainly because they do not need it. They only user the internet for e-mail or IMing. They are not interested in gaming, downloading (legal or illegal), or mass internet usage. Most of them probably still would not want broadband, ever if they had a free trial period.
