Actually flat rate dialup is quite rare (used to work in telecoms so I 
used to be able to run comparisons of these kinds of things.. at one 
point I could have given you the break even point for Brazil down to the 
nearest second :) ) and where it exists there are often cutoffs eg. 
maximum 60 minutes per call.  ADSL, Cable, etc. are normally flat rate 
so the maths work out the same - above a certain usage (quite low 
normally) you're better off with a broadband connection.

Brazil has one of the fastest broadband adoption rates in the world, 
btw. so it's hardly a backwater...  it's behind the US and europe but 
like every other country in the world realizes that internet 
connectivity is essential in a global market.
