Here too I think a sociologist might be useful (by the way I am not a sociologist, I disagree with some sociology, but I have lunch with one or more nearly every week).
What is likely to be the population characteristic most common among xDSL connected folk?

I am sorry to have stolen somebody else's words--I did not mean to do that.
