"It hurts when I move my arm." - "Don't move your arm then." No one who uses dial-up wants to use dial-up.

  It's still possible to be reasonably productive on dial-up if you're working in a screen or tmux session over ssh. But the modern web is hopeless on slow connections. Some sites are pretty bad even at standard cable internet speeds. Site developers who work with gigabit fiber connections should try their pages at 10Mb or slower and 3G speeds out of courtesy to the real world.

    With mosh instead of plain SSH, working with a crappy connection becomes pretty fluid. The copper cable bringing ADSL to my house broke and it is prohibitively expensive to fix. I haven't had this bad Internet connectivity after 1999 but I can still work alright with mosh + tmux. Browsing the web isn't very nice, though.

    10mb? I celebrate anything over 100KBps. This is anecdotal but in Uganda(Third word) most personal connections(MIFI/modem) are way slower than that
