In absolute numbers yes, but in relative, I wonder if not most people have or are moving to ADSL? Many countries have 95% or better coverage, and the cost is now _almost_ negligible. (the cheapest here is CHF9/month plus CHF2.40/hour).
That "many" countries means the first world only, and then only cities in my part of the first world. They are thinking some kind of radio link instead.
I would still maintain many countries have it, but of course you're right that it doesn't apply everywhere. 5 years ago I was also told "nope, ADSL won't work where you live", but that changed 1-2 years later. We've recently been upped to 5.6Mbit downstream.
Cable is not viable, they say, although it lies 30 meters from my door.
You'd probably have to pay for them digging in the cable - that's what usually happens around here. /Per Jessen, Zürich
