For broadband, it really is like the microwave analogy - it really depends on what you use it for. Me, I couldn't live without DSL. I run a webserver, have multiple computers almost ALWAYS browsing the net at the same time, play online games, watch streaming movies, download music, watch flash movies, etc. etc. etc. I am truly the epitome of the DSL user - take me up on that one, I dare you :P I have a constant use for DSL. It's faster, cleaner, easier to use, and much easier to fiddle with for a techie like me. If I want to set up something else (i.e. nameserver), I can. (Bear in mind - home network here, not business stuff :D) My parents, however, use the internet for their own website, (which they have nothing to do with - I run. All they supply is content.), e-mail, a newslist, and random internet browsing. Hell, they could get by with DOS and a text browser, that'd be all they need. Bringing this back to ovens (why? WHY??), if I was used to cooking proper, full, healthy, classic meals, I'd use a stove, or an electric oven any day. If I was to live of pizza pops and Swanson stuff, I'd stick with a microwave. I want something fast, and not much thought into it - I'd go broadband and microwave. Plus, Dial-Up bills by the second. Ewwy.
