Some, like alt.net offer broadband for a higher price. The thing is, at least for me, there's only so many hours in the day and only so much space on my HD (even off-dumping it to CD regularly!). You'll have the emulation stuff caught up eventually, then just have to keep up with new floods (when new TOSEC or Good dats are released, etc.) or new emulation. The CD stuff is huge to grab (all that PCEngine CD, etc.) or if you go crazy and get into PSX and N64 downloading, or mp3's - gawd, you could eat up bandwidth real quick. But it's not even an option without good news provider!
