Comment on AOL will stop offering dial-up internet service after more than 30 years in business

This is actually a problem for people in rural areas where broadband has not reached (and won’t because it’s not profitable). Cellular will be the best option they have left.

Is DSL not available in rural areas? That still uses the phone line and should be significantly faster. I don’t understand how people can still even use dial up, I don’t see how a 56k modem could load most websites in a reasonable time frame. I should try throttling my connection and seeing if it’s viable.
