The case for Argentina is similar. Even the largest city (Buenos Aires)
has no full broadband coverage; some areas are limited to dialup access
only.
ADSL is not always flat-rate; monthly transfer quotas apply. Cablemodem is
usually flat (at least the ones I know of). In any case, speed isn't
astonishing.
One of my team workers lives in a rural area, near a city. But not close
enough; he's out of range for an ADSL connection (signal is too weak); the
cable company won't go that far; so his only alternative is a dial-up
connection. In this case, that's just his only choice.
But that does not prevent him from working well and using a CVSNT server.
