Not sure what I am more surprised about, that AOL still exists or that dialup still exists. Internet was painfully slow last I used dialup shortly after the turn of the century, can't imagine what it would be like today, a poor connection on my phone is enough to make many sites unusable and a poor connection on my phone is still faster than dialup.
