That's pretty inaccurate these days I think, certainly in the UK anyway.

People using dialup modems can opt for many different unmetered systems, 
one of the most common being FRIACO (Flat Rate Internet Access Call 
Origination), or SurfTime a service offered by British 
Telecommunications for flat rate call access to any participating ISP. 
And that's before you get into ADSL and cable modems, both of which are 
of course unmetered.

Unmetered voice phone calls are also now available for a monthly fee 
with most telecoms companies.

Andrew.
