I’m still surprised AOL was offering dial-up internet in 2025. It’s a relic of the past, a reminder of the early days of the internet when connecting to the web was a slow and painful process. But it looks like AOL has finally decided to pull the plug on its dial-up internet service.
I have to admit, I’m a bit nostalgic about it. Who didn’t love the sound of dial-up connecting, the anticipation of waiting for what felt like an eternity for a single image to load? It was a different time, and AOL’s decision to discontinue its dial-up service marks the end of an era.
But let’s be real, it’s about time. Dial-up internet was slow, unreliable, and just plain frustrating. The internet has come a long way since then, and it’s hard to imagine going back to those days.
So, what’s next? For those still clinging to dial-up, it’s time to upgrade to something faster, more reliable, and more secure. The internet has changed, and it’s time to change with it.
