As of a few years ago, my friend's roommate was receiving nastygrams from the ISP for this same thing. My friend refuses to purchase a broadband connection for the house, because she says she believes that her roommate would violate copyright on a massive scale. She uses her iPhone for everything and has no desktop/notebook. So she keeps her roommate on a dial-up modem line. And the ISP does become upset when roommate is online for long periods of time or downloads a lot of data or something. Apparently the roommate is into RPGs and forums of whatever kind. I've encouraged her to give in and get that broadband. Her wireless voice calls are spotty and sometimes I can't understand her. But she's good with the status quo.

what geographic region are you (or "your friend") located with dial-up access?

    I feel like I've stepped back in time with conversation of dial-up and being presented that website

    That's for an active company? In the USA? Wtf is going on in Arizona? (Or perhaps _not_ going on)

I checked the big ISP in my area and I can't even find a way to book dial-up. Is that still a thing in places? edit: Oh, apparently there's still a handful here? https://www.teltarif.de/internet/by-call/einwahlnummern.html https://www.teltarif.de/internet/by-call/einwahlnummern.html
