Is it true that dial-up is still big in the US?

Not to my knowledge
AZ fag here

Not here, and I live in the Detroit area.

It's extremely rare, but it technically still exists.

Over 2 million dial-up subscribers still in the US, which is about 1% of households. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/05/12/verizon-will-pick-up-over-2-million-dial-up-subscribers-in-aol-deal/

How dumb do you need to be to even consider this as the truth?

No but hundreds of thousands of people still pay for dialup because they believe they're paying for their email address. AOL collects over $100mil from people who use to have dialup but upgraded to cable believing that if they canceled the service they would lose their aol email address even though they're two different services and aol email is free.

Yeah but how many of those are cheapskate small businesses that still use dial up for their card readers?

>>58808015
Yea somewhat, people who live literally in the middle of no where that anything suburban looks urban in comparison

Doesn't help that ISP's don't innovate to improve speeds because of their duopolies

Dial up is pretty widespread for card readers but only as a backup for when the Internet goes down. I've never heard of it actually being the primary connection.

Unless you still live in the year 2001.

I'm going to visit New York this September.
I'm very excited to see NY from the top of Twin Towers!

Also most card readers are connected to the computer. If the business was smart then they would have had used Microsoft Dynamics and then transfer the transaction report to the server during closed hours instead for the dial up to connect before the card reader could be used.
