Honestly I'm still surprised they offered their dial up services. I know some places don't have access to fiber or even broadband internet so they have to rely on dial up. It's the end of an era. Also back in 2006 I was able to get online due to AOL, I ended up using a Yu-Gi-Oh card number when it asked for a routing number and was able to get a free trial for a bit lol. I was 16 and I didn't have a job nor a banking account at that moment.

Dial up is so 90's!
I don't miss the beep at all.

Dial-up is better as a meme than real life. But when it was new, it was probably the goat.

Hopefully, most of AOL dial up users will be able to find affordable internet to use.

It was absolutely mind blowing to be able to connect to the internet with ease. I can imagine the nerds who knew how to access the internet before AOL came to the market was also blown away lol. It was really boring having to wait around for websites to load though I don't miss that!

They could have ended it much earlier.
AOL’s claim to fame wasn’t because it made the internet easier to access, it was the free trial CD’s they plastered all over the place.
