It's because 1-2% actually upgrades to the full accelerated dialup service. It's very difficult for NetZero to get new customers. A lot of people (I know some) still have a $20 compuserv (or even the $25/m month AOL) dialup connecton they use a few times a month since years.
To attract then, they have the free offer and then when the user realizes that it works they might cancel AOL and go for the full accelerated dialup for nearly half the price.
I've used their accelerated dial-up and it's really faster it's nearly like DSL for web pages. Any person still using dialup as their main connection should be using the NetZero 3G offer.
Many users actually have cable/dsl so they use free dialup as a backup solution or if they want to look at something from a different ip or even see how their site loads for dialup users.
