This is worst ever internet package i've seen, beats aol..
I really can't agree that dial-up internet is better for anything, unless cost of service is absolutely critical. We are not heavy users. The vast majority of our online activity is browsing webpages. But the speed and reliability with which we can do that now we're on BB easily justifies the extra cost IMO. Even if I never wanted to download an app, a patch or a high-quality video stream ever again, I would still have BB just for fast page browsing.

There does seem to be an assumption among some (and this is not aimed at anyone in particular) that BB is all about high bandwidth useage. I don't believe that is the case at all, and I would not be surprised if the majority of broadband users said they only use their service for reliable web browsing, not heavy downloading.
