This gave me flashbacks to my own Internet struggles as a teenager in rural Pennsylvania in the 90s. AOL was exciting and new, but the nearest dial-in number was in the large town ~30 miles away, which meant it was a "long-distance" phone call. My parents were not happy with that $700 phone bill.
Internet was carefully rationed after that, at least until our small town got its own local ISP.
