What was that site that had a list of free dial-up services in your area you can connect to? Most of them were run by universities and schools. Can't find the website anymore. I remember it was mentioned somewhere on Lifehacker (before they went to shit like 5 years ago) and I never saved it. I still have my modem and a PC capable of using dial-up.
Yes, this is important to know if they ever try to cut off access to the internet but forget the phone lines, which usually work well after the power goes out too.

All I got was this. The website they list is gone, but the number list is still available: https://web.archive.org/web/20101124051726/http://budgetdialup.com/html/usa_canada.txt

kek, this would never happen in my country
first they cut all phone lines and recycle them as copper getting sheckels and then put some fiber optics with POS chink terminal powered off your local powerline

can you describe a scenario where "they" cut off access to the internet but leave ISPs active for you to call, and how that would work

Well, sometimes the phone lines are above ground, while the internet lines are below ground. If an earthquake strikes, the phone lines may still work.
AT&T in my area still utilizes the phone lines but is trying to get everyone to use their VOIP box.

Not the cable-based internet access in the inner suburbs. They're strung from the power poles.
