dial-up

Slow medium for connecting to the Internet, which some people STILL use because:
1. They can't afford broadband (understandable, unlike the following)
2. They don't know about other ways to connect
3. They've been brainwashed into thinking AOL is number one
4. Don't have broadband in their area.

I'm surprised dial-up isn't free .
