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 .

worse than dial-up

Something that takes a long time and is not enjoyable.

Harkens back to the early days of internet when connections were made over 56k or dial-up telephone service

I hate waiting in line at the DMV, it's worse than dial-up

Dial-up

Related to the past. Out of style. Something outdated.

on dial-up

Like the annoyingly, slow dial up connection for the internet only in use against someone.

Guy 1: "What's up with him? Why is he pushing on a door that says pull!"
Guy 2: "Cause that dude's on dial-up."
