Why put it there then ?
If it's not needed then make it go away ! And voila ... you just turned a "broadband only" into a "everyone everywhere" page. :)
I think that using images to beautify the page is questionable but not necessary wrong. No client wants a huge page where the first thing you see it's a giant forest, nor do they want a text only version. There is some degree of balance between content and visual composition elements to be desired, i think. There were like 5 links 20 words and a 800 by 600 pixels image of a forest ! And it's not the forest that i don't see fit in that page. I liked the forest ... I'm gonna use it as my ... oops, not gonna say that :)

Wow,
I don't care how much it costs I WANT THAT TECHNOLOGY that will keep my site being accessed, for all eternity, by anyone else but who I want to ! It will make an incredible spam filter ...
Pardon my joke but why make a website if all they need it's a brochure (of course I know why, don't you ?).  That's more likely to obtain the desired effect ... don't you think ?

I know  these posts become an exercise  in free  web thinking  and  i guess it's time to move them off line.
