Different situation - you're talking about a single worker without 
proper internet access... they would maybe have to dial up once a day to 
commit their updates (they might have trouble keeping up to date with 
their email traffic though, but that's a whole other issue).  In most 
cases though people in that situation commute to the office where 
there's plenty of bandwidth (teleworking is still comparatively rare).

You simply wouldn't situate a server in such a place.. I could point to 
lots of places in the UK where there's only dialup too - you can bet 
there are no data centres there either.

Don't confuse where the workers live to where the business is situated. 
   They're not the same thing.
