Depending on who "your" visitors actually are. About 1/6 of US users are 
still at 56k or less. (Silly me. I think there's a substantial 
difference between 17% and "nearly none." Would you give me $100 every 
time I rolled a one on a die if I gave you $10 every time I rolled 2-6? 
If you wouldn't, you must also think there's a difference.) Among 
industrialized nations, we're near the middle of the pack. Also, it's 
not only dial-up that's an issue. Last month I switched from cable to 
DSL and took a 75% speed hit in the process. There are now pages I visit 
that take so long to load that Safari 3 (on 10.4) times out. I can work 
around that by using a different browser or OS X 10.5, but the practical 
reality is that I don't go to those sites as often as I used to. In that 
sense, not taking slower connections into account because users with 
slower connections don't come to your site is more than a bit circular.
