   In the UK, a lot of dial-up lines ("landlines") are used to carry broadband   
   singles. We have a microfilter and splitter which gives you a traditional   
   telephone line and a port for connecting the broadband router.   
      
   That said, a lot of households have additional cable and fibre connections.   
   Asking for a 'broadband' line after a recent house move was met with some   
   incredulity, as we have one of these said cable points too. The assumption was   
   I would of course want faster and faster internet, for faster and faster what   
   I'm not sure.   
      
   So a lot of dial-up lines are sat unused here - ripe for dial-up   
   BBSing..should there ever be a mass revival!
