I do have broadband, so that's not the problem but I'm used to quickly scanning a story before bothering to read it to see if it looks worth taking the time to read.

With a video you have to sit through a commercial and then watch quite a bit before seeing if it is worthwhile. I do like having the option of doing video but I think it is a poor replacement for the written word when it comes to getting a lot of information accurately and quickly.
