Unless you live in a very rural area or the Alaskan interior. Luckily I live outside of Fairbanks AK and have a cable modem and decent internet access. But there are areas here where cable/DSL is not available due to logistical issues and all there is, is dialup. I'm sure there are plenty of places in the lower 48 that have the same problem.
