[Neptexian]

And here I was on my high speed internet thinking dial-up died 10 years ago...

Poor old people being robbed by this horrible company with there long term contracts someone needs to educate them and help them get off the contracts.

WTF? I didn't know Dial Up still existed.

[azntigerpimp]

Brought a family member an tablet, only to realize that they can't really use it because they have dial up internet.... I cannot believe we still use dial up internet.

[PlayActionGaming]

Some out there use dial-up Internet as their secondary connection in case DSL fails.

[maddhatter]

I didn't think aol was anything more than just a website and email like yahoo and google. I didn't know there dial was even still possible to get. Wow

[CME]

I try to explain to her all the time why she needs to get rid of it smh

[ColumbiaThink]

Finally got rid of Aol dial-up last year. I know have satellite but internet still sucks. (Hugesnet had me in a 200mb daily cap)

[GloriousKev]

I didn;t even know they still offered internet service. Worse they still offer dial up. They must have sold it to senior citizens
