Yes, 90% in 2002 and 80% in 2004 had dialup.

No, having broadband had nothing to do with desire back then. It was entirely based on availability and how quickly your local telecom/cable monopoly deployed it, being so bad that the government had to step in many times to motivate them. Everyone I knew purchased broadband (some cloning cable modem to get it for free) the day it was available. For broadband users, the difference in browser size was entirely negligible.

Facebook required that you were at a universities to register. Its not a reasonable thing to compare to web browser use.
