    I think the last time I used dial-up was about 15 years ago. Yeah, 1997 sounds about right - that fall, I went to college (hooray for dorm ethernet!), and haven't had anything slower than DSL since.

    We still had dialup in the mid 2000s. Then, went to satellite, which was a major mistake, then to this wireless system that..Honestly isn't much better. I keep calling to complain but nothing ever gets fixed.

    No way. Even the farm houses around here have been updated from dial up. I do use a satellite style connection. You just put a modem in the window and it picks up the satellite in the area. They aren't wide spread in Iowa yet, but they are nice if you are in a spot where internet is difficult to get.
