If not, when? 2026? 2030? Later? Does anyone here still use dial-up? Is it even possible these days?

Or, is it just used as tradition/joke?

Only one poster does it though. I've asked this poster a few times why, but never got a response.

It is not dial up, but it is still relatively slow.

My only other option is satellite.

There is no cable where I live.
