We were just reminded in another thread that many users are still using 
dial-up services. I think we should also keep this in mind. It would be 
nice to know, even if you are just speaking in terms of your knowledge 
of your country, if dial-up service are prevalent in your country.

The update or do a rolling update may have a huge impact on these users.

In Canada, dial-up is still used but high speed hookup is the norm.
