Broadband vs Dial-Up

So I was just reading an interesting article about whether you should buy broadband internet or dial-up internet. The issue would be cost of the two vs speed. This article claimed that if you were to buy broadband you would save $30 a year in electricity because you would complete your searches quicker, type your emails quicker, download everything quicker and get off the computer quicker. The key to this was also turning off your computer quicker. So you save money by getting the better product. I'm not going to argue with how much money you would save because that would be different for everyone. However, we can all agree that we need to turn our computers off when we are done with them and are not going to use them for awhile. No need to leave them on all night long or while we are at work.
