Ah the good old days of dial up. Just the noise alone is amusing. Remember being online and then your parents getting pissed because you were hogging the phone? Anyways does anybody still use dial up?

I've still got a 300-baud acoustic coupler in storage if anyone wants to try. Nostalgia?

Of course, AOL depends on many elderly users that haven't updated their accounts since the 90s.

About 3% of users as of 2013. Most citing costs and/or unavailability of broadband services.
