    But if the poor have Internet connections they might start to communicate with each other and learn and ORGANISE, leading to a revolution. And then who the hell will clean my toilet, weed my garden and empty my bins?

    Bad idea, Mr Roll. Baaaaad idea.

    yes, a 128k NATed ADSL would be much "easier"

    you'ld have to put 30 hour/month caps on the dial-up to make it managable

    It'll happen sooner or later.

    As we rely on the interweb more and more, access to it will become a commodity.

    And when the machines take over, I'll be there, waiting to lead the human race into the AI wars. The earth will be littered with their soul-less bodies.

    Dial-up? Ah yes, I remember those days... switching on your computer, opening the dial-up window, hearing your computer dial a number, an Internet connection that was insultingly slow, being cut off after 2 hours... nowadays, I don't know how I ever lived without broadband Internet.

    A workhouse with broadband, that's a good idea.

    Yeah, I used to be on X-Stream...

    The idea is good, but what about poor people who do not have a phone line?
