My grandparents lived in rural OK and had dial-up until 2018 when they finally were able to get a 2mbps DSL line. It really wasn’t much faster than the dial-up.

You mean it wasn’t able to be saturated?
As slow as 2MBit/s is, relatively speaking, it’s still magnitudes better than dial-up.

Yes, I mean it never hit its rated speed. Also that many modern sites didn’t work any better than they did on the dialup anyway.
