It's stupid for people who have ADSL. But for people who have a phone modem, it allows to show the pages more quickly. Many people are still using "old" modems in the USA for exemple because local communications are free, allowing a free access to Internet, while ADSL would be far more expensive in comparison.
I wasn't thinking only of ADSL. Why download images that might not even be needed? :huh: Some pages already take so much time to load with an "old" modem.
Local communications are free in Canada too. Well, as long as you pay the standard fees to the phone company each month, of course.
