Wasn't it if someone phoned you when you had dial up you couldn't use the internet, or something like that.

In Mexico people pay less than $30 bucks a month for TV and Internet faster than the one in the US. US sucks in terms of communications.

[claudrapoza]

90% are old people that dont even know what year we in.

Most of y'all will never know the struggle of not being able to use the internet because your mom was on the house phone. 😢

[assasinweasel]

I didn't even know that that AOL was still around.

[JohnathanMahones]

My mom used subscribe to AOL when I was young and remembered hearing the dial up tone every time I entered AOL desktop.

I thought their service died off.

some people like listening to dubstep when they log on

[protectorofillinois]

I confess it's very crazy that there are people who still use AOL dial-up for Internet access instead of opting for DSL/broadband access, but whatever works best for them.

[IbldGrnLife]

remember when you had to hear dubstep while it was connecting?

[gamernomad]

I can still remember the sound of the modem dialing up, good times...

[LucarioDXAuraStorm]

Ahhhh the memories of having AOL & screaming "Get off the phone! I need to use the internet!" I miss my childhood.

[AsianManGV]

Its the dial up sound, people just cant get enough

[iKhanKing]

Wait, you mean there are OTHER ways to go online besides AOL?!

[abcdefg]

I know a lady that still has AOL dialup. She's afraid wireless routers are unsafe. I told her you can disable wireless and just use a wired connection. She didn't believe me.

Still faster than ps4's internet.
