What I didn’t like was taking 20 minutes to download a tiny video, anyone picking up the phone instantly killing your connection including the software download you’d been watching download for the last 15 minutes and the cost per minute and unreliability that taught me to connect, download my email, open my messages page, on the forum, disconnect, write all the forum replies in notepad and email replies in my client, then dial up again, hit sync on the email client and paste all my replies back in the forum.

I do not miss dial up.
