10. LOL, he's actually 18, so I'm pretty sure he will.
That's one of the things I love about him, he's an 18 year old football and rugby player, yet he loves sloths and koalas. :)

"According to the FCC, about 93 million Americans don’t use fast, broadband Internet, citing cost and complexity as a factor in their refusal to enter the 20th century"

12. a lot of people can't afford anything else
A lot of people can't afford any internet at all.

Believe it or not, there are MANY places where dial-up access is all there is, too.

I had dial-up for financial reasons until only about two years ago or so.

14. It is a courtesy. Be thankful you don't have dial-up. Some
folks don't live in an area where DSL or cable are available.

Nothing particularly sad about it.

Welcome to DU :hi:

not only am I on dial-up, its freaking SLOW dial-up - I get between 19 and 24 kbps. That is with a K, not an M

70 year old phone line, very rural.
