Here in Maine, Adelphia has already offered a "tiered" approach. They are eliminating dial-up, and since a couple of the providers they have purchased were dial-up primarily, they decided to offer a comparable ($19.95) connection by cable. The offer was just made last month, and I believe dial-up ends the 31 of May! Don't know about the success of this, Adelphia has been busy trying to peddle through finnancial troubles and the rumors that go with that!
