Even doable on very long range ADSL, guess there are still some dialup users.

- zahlman 2y agoNot dialup. Just bad last-mile wiring, as far as I can tell. Apparently such service is still somehow available; I found https://www.dialup4less.com https://www.dialup4less.com with a web search. Sounds more like a novelty at this point. But "real" internet service still just doesn't work as well as it's supposed to in some places.
- mlyle 2y agoThat's 6.5 megabits/second, plus overhead. Many DSL circuits exceed this, but not all.
- Retric 2y agoMost DSL I’ve seen has been way slower than 6.5 megabits/s. If you’re that close to infrastructure you can likely get cable etc. 1.5megabits/s is the still common, but Starlink is taking over.

- ranger_danger 2y agoI struggle to get close to 6mbps on good days... some of us are still stuck on DSL monopolies.
