I don’t know, but if I had to guess: email, bank, & government sites are probably the bulk of their use. Those pages don’t change all that often, so once they’re in the browser cache they’ll probably still load at reasonable enough speeds for their use I’d imagine. Those people probably see it as a tool to get certain things done, and that’s about it. They’re likely much older, and so never had much interest in being terminally online.
