Dial-up is going away almost as fast as the Slants are going on that final barge ride.As Cable and Fiber continue to add speed, modem sales are becoming a lost commodity. A recent visit to both Office Depot and Staples, only 1 brand of dial-up modem for a computer was available. Baltimore County Public Library, at one time a dial-up ISP (they did not advertise it, but applications were available at all Library branches, no longer offers it. Current customers can continue (for a while, a drop-dead notice has not been issued yet) but most customers went to broadband.) Just downloading an upgrade to an anti-virus program on dial-up takes several hours. |
