Still on dial-up
The eMarketer reports on research into why 37% of US households still choose dial-up over broadband. Whatever the reason, if you’re designing a site for universal (US) access, be thoughtful of your page rendering times. This portion of the market is apparently satisified with email, IM and simple Web browsing. So think about offering a simple or low-graphics page format, at least as an option.
