Analogue internet!
#11
RE: Analogue internet!
In some parts of the U.S., dialup is all they can get (other than satellite, which used to be expensive, though I have not priced it recently).

I have a brother who lives where he cannot get cable or DSL, and his only options are dialup, satellite, or go to the library or other place to use someone else's connection.

While you are thinking about how bad that is, visiting him and staying at his house is a nice vacation.  It is peaceful and quiet there.
