Even putting aside the barely-addressed question of whether it's even still possible to sign up for and use dialup internet service, I think we all knew the answer to this question already. Nonetheless, it's sobering to be reminded how much bandwidth we take for granted. (The answer is no, you can't use the internet on dialup. At least not the same internet everybody else is using.)
- shakna 10y agoProviders in my town still offer dialup [0]. Utterly useless considering that a) websites are enormous and b) they're supposed to be shutting down the copper lines in favour of the new fibre. I have seen one or two people purchase it: for long running processes that don't use speed. Like a dedicated IRC bot. [0] http://offers.dodo.com/dialup1_1304/ http://offers.dodo.com/dialup1_1304/
