As an in home tech I think 99% of people that I saw paying for aol didn't actually use dial up. Most of the time it wasn't worth trying to explain why they were essentially throwing away $25 a month, until I told them that my services would pay for themselves after only 4 months.
I think the limit is around 60x, although I have seen many older cd's or cd's that are well used fly apart in a 56x. I suppose you could probably go a bit faster than 60x, but you'd need specialized media.
