No actually she doesn't, I do consulting and working with thousands of 
clients yearly, Diane is quite correct in her statements.

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and we have some of the best choices in 
internet service. There's LOTS of competition and lot's of selection from 
cheap consumer connections at $25/month up to expensive enterprise 
connections at $2k-$5k/month for up to 30mb full duplex.  Dealing with lots 
of CEO's and such, many don't even have highspeed at home, heck some don't 
even have computers in their home.

I suspect the non-tv watchin group is MUCH smaller than the non-highspeed 
internet access group.

Well considering that the VAST majority of the human population on this 
planet don't have access to electricity, let alone a computer or the 
internet, your comment on the magnitude of "large" looks pretty small ;-)
