Oh joy, another attempt to make your shiny new #Mac run old #games that were groundbreaking when #dial-up was cutting-edge. 🖥️🎮 Apparently, some people enjoy the thrill of playing pixelated chaos on hardware capable of rendering near-photorealistic graphics. Because who wouldn't want to travel back to 1997 and virtually run over pedestrians for fun? 🚗💥

#AOL is finally shutting down #Dial-Up #Internet.

After 34 years of connecting users to the Internet through phone lines, AOL recently announced it is shutting down its dial-up modem service on September 30, 2025. The announcement marks the end of a technology that served as the primary gateway to the World Wide Web for millions of users throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

https://help.aol.com/articles/dial-up-internet-to-be-discontinued

#internet #web #history #media #tech #news

AOL's dial-up service launched as "America Online" in 1991, when the Internet consisted primarily of text-based content, although its dial-up roots extend back to a service launched in 1985 called Quantum Link for Commodore computers. For the next few years, as the World Wide Web emerged, websites were measured in kilobytes, images were small and compressed, and video was essentially impossible. The service grew alongside the web itself, peaking at over 20 million subscribers in the early 2000s before broadband adoption accelerated its decline.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Link>

Along with the dial-up service, AOL announced it will retire its AOL Dialer software and AOL Shield browser on the same date. The dialer software managed the connection process between computers and AOL's network, while Shield was a web browser optimized for slower connections and older operating systems.

⁉️The September 30 shutdown date gives remaining dial-up users just only weeks now to find alternative Internet access — a challenge for those in areas where alternatives don't exist. Some may switch to satellite or cellular services despite higher costs. Others may lose Internet access entirely, further widening the digital divide that dial-up, for all its limitations, helped bridge for 34 years.⁉️

AOL confirmed the shutdown date in a help message to customers: "AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet. This service will no longer be available in AOL plans."

According to 2022 US Census data, approximately 175,000 American households still connect to the Internet through dial-up services. These users typically live in rural areas where broadband infrastructure doesn't exist or remains prohibitively expensive to install.

<https://www.reviews.org/internet-service/how-many-us-households-are-without-internet-connection/>

⁉️The gap between dial-up and modern Internet connections is staggering. A typical dial-up connection delivered 0.056 megabits per second, while today's average fiber connection provides 500 Mbps [nearly 9,000 times faster]. To put this in perspective, downloading a single high-resolution photo that loads instantly on broadband would take several minutes on dial-up. A movie that streams in real time on Netflix would require days of downloading. But for millions of users who lived through the dial-up era, these statistics tell only part of the story.⁉️

👾AOL's shutdown doesn't mean dial-up is completely dead. Several providers like NetZero, Juno and Dialup 4 Less continue to offer dial-up services, particularly in areas where it remains the only option.👾

⁉️The Sound of the early Internet.⁉️

For those who came online before broadband, dial-up meant a specific ritual: clicking the dial button, hearing your modem dial a local access number, then listening to the distinctive handshake sequence — a cacophony of static, beeps, and hissing that indicated your computer was negotiating a connection with AOL's servers. Once connected, users paid by the hour or through monthly plans that offered limited hours of access.

The technology worked by converting digital data into audio signals that traveled over standard telephone lines, originally designed in the 19th century for voice calls. This meant users couldn't receive phone calls while online, leading to countless family disputes over Internet time. The fastest consumer modems topped out at 56 kilobits per second under ideal conditions.

👾AOL didn't invent dial-up Internet access, but the company perfected the art of making it accessible to non-technical users. Where competitors required users to understand concepts like PPP settings and TCP/IP configurations, AOL provided a single software package that handled everything. Users just needed to insert one of the billions of CD-ROMs [I got dozens of them, in the late 90’s] the company mailed out, install the software, and click "Connect."👾

Screenshot April 11, 1995 at 21:48 of the desktop with a Filemaker window (•Brieffile, correspondence) on my Apple Macintosh PowerBook 160. A PICT file image that I recently gained access to.
Desktop shows icon (renamed) SLIP of the InterSLIP application I used to get modem access (phone line) to the Leiden University gateway to internet, email, news, gopher, ftp etc .
I wrote the protocol (two scripts) required by this SLIP application to get access to the Leiden University gateway to the internet.
From May 1995 Leiden University distributed my scripts to the other Macintosh users of our University.

Rotary phones were in use long after that in Canada, and probably other places, but touch-tone was also available. In the late 80s/early 90s I still had a line that would only do pulse dialing, because touch-tone dialing was an add-on charge with the phone company where I lived.

It was a significant amount; just adding touch-tone support increased the monthly bill by almost 10%. Yes, this was a BS charge, because it was just a flag they set on your account. It didn't cost them anything to provide tone dialing. They still do the same thing with caller-ID, so I don't have it. "We don't care. We're the phone company; we don't have to."

At the time, many (perhaps most) phones you could buy had push-button dialing, but there was a switch on the phone to choose pulse or tone dialing. If you set it to pulse, you'd push the 7 button, and then you'd hear 7 clicks, etc.

So kind of "hybrid dialing".
