With AOL killing Dial Up Internet I was curious what still exists. I've found that there is over an estimated 160,000 people still using dial up in the US as their only connection (there are others using dial up as a fallback)

Earthlink quietly shut off dial up access in early 2024 (best I can tell).
Incredibly Juno and NetZero both still offer 10 free hours of dial up a month (and unlimited subscriptions).

Comcast Xfinity notified me that they changed my unlimited Internet plan to $25 per 50 GB unless I upgrade my plan. I was already paying $138 per month for 1 Gb download and ~100 Mb upload.
I just switched to EarthLink, which is a wrapper around local AT&T fiber optics. I'm now paying $80 per month for a symmetric 1 Gb optical connection with an option to upgrade to symmetric 5 Gb for $200 per month.
I'm grateful I have options here in Santa Cruz, CA, USA.

@mwl this brings back memories of my first real job in 2000 as an SA at #EarthLink which ran e-mail systems entirely on NFS (early NetApp filers with Sun E10K and E15K servers). I don’t think they’d invented therapy back then, so I just read alt.sysadmin.recovery and smoked behind the datacenter with @mrdenny
