When we switched from dial-up to broadband, we reduced the monthly phone bill by 90%.
It makes no difference here; dial-up is a local call and so no extra charges.
Also, once you're on broadband, you'll use the internet far more than you do now, because it's always-on, and there are no bills ticking away, per second, as on dial-up.
I have no inclination to spend more time on the Internet. Life is too short and there are many more interesting things to do. That's also why I don't have cable/satellite for TV – I'd wind up never leaving the house, ordering in pizza every day, and gradually wind up looking like Jabba the Hutt. No thanks.
