On the other hand, dial-up is really the low-end of the totem pole
these days.

Cable modems and DSL access are quite common (and well-proliferated
around the Philadelphia area). I'm a bigger fan of (and subscriber
to) the latter, myself. Both DCANet, a local company that Bill
mentioned already, and Speakeasy.net (my ISP) provide quite reliable
DSL service in the Philly area. There are probably others.

(Speakeasy, btw, now has their Philadelphia POP open. My
connection's much better than when I was formerly routed through the
NYC POP and a whole lot better than when I was re-routed through the
Washington DC POP after the September 11 attacks broke the power
grid in lower Manhattan.)
