The factor that most people who are still using are getting free internet and at least have some source of internet connectivity that way they can still work semi game and things normal people do with the internet the issue is it so old and out dated it's slower then slow because most people get it for free with some sort of other item in a bundle deal

And by slower then slow there are a few stores in my area that use it it for debt card reader and things and you have to wait 2 minutes before you get you card approved

I see this pattern in all classic retro games of the PC era... it fits the topic, but not supported by the OPINIOns of the majority. I don't know where people come up with this so called entitlement but it wasn't never earned.

Well, since there are so many places out there that do not have cellphone coverage and fixed dial-up internet is considered as great as FTTH. It still is a great working option when compared to nothing. There are places where GPRS (not even EDGE) is the main internet access. I had to use dialup over satellite handset myself in some places. Depends on what you compare it to.
