In my area, there are something like 100k in the city, and 300k in the
county.  Not every place has DSL or cable service, but most places
do especially in the northern and western part of the county.  The
southern end is surprisingly highspeed capable since the southern end
is the beating around the sticks redneck end (and also somewhat Amish
country).  A number of people that I know in very remote parts have
DSL, and the ones I know who don't, they just don't care to get it.
