If nothing else is available, what are the other half on? Nothing?

  No. There is (some) DSL and Comcast availability, but no fiber anywhere. To be more specific: "I live in an area (not far from Sacramento) where, of the residents that have internet access, roughly half are still on dialup because they can't get anything better." And, of the dialup subscribers, many have problems every year because it's old infrastructure and the aerial lines have a tendency to fill with water in the winter. I only point this out because I suspect that there are a lot of people living in metropolitan areas that really have no idea what internet access is like in rural areas.
