In the late 90s I moved to an area that did not yet have broadband, so my choices were either 56k modem or pay out the nose for ISDN or similar. I got a 2nd phone line, and went the modem route but left it connected 24/7. I kept getting banned from the local ISPs for this exact reason. Luckily I moved out of the area before I ran out of ISPs available without paying long distance charges!
