Dial-up; who is still using it and how do you cope?

[Orbital-Fetus]

so i live in a very rural area.
cable is not an option and sometimes power is an issue as well.
probably going to get a generator soon. so we've been rocking
dial-up for the past couple of years and this shyt is wack.
coli pages take 3-10 minutes to load depending on how many
wack ass gifs and pics people post...it's not the move.
i got some signal boosters that go from the electrical socket to
my modem and somehow is supposed to boost the signal.

it ain't working and i get a static shock every time i pick up the landline.

any advice or funny stories from those going through the struggle?

Clicking on a nap thread and waiting for all of those Twitter links to load has to have you

Dial-up is still a thing?

Waiting an hour for a flick to load only for it to be 30 seconds so you gotta loop it and collaborate with your imagination

Not that bad

I have an unlimited plan so I can keep it running all day.

If i happen to get disconnected I just go grab a drink while reconnecting.

Believe it or not, YouTube in 480 isn’t that much different than 4K.

My job was a lil pissed though in the only user on the network with a dialup vpn
