Is this an old tweet? Like dialup was still used but not nearly as common only 15 years ago

posted around 2018? maybe earlier? surely not recently.
Or did anyone really use dialup in 2009?
Dial-up was still somewhat common to see in rural areas around that time, but I think most people had broadband by the mid 2000s (in the US, at least). Our family got broadband in the suburbs around 2003/2004-ish, and it was pretty new for our area at the time.

Are people not downloading huge torrents anymore?? How is downloading some large thing overnight a rare occurrence of bygone eras????
My only guess is that kids these days don’t know about pirating and instead stream everything or download apps?
We still are but now we have gigabit service.

This is why I was much more into mangas than animes as a teenager. Each anime episode took more than an hour to download... I could at least download mangas faster than I could read them.

I lived through that, I don’t know why it took 17 hours. It’d take half an hour on a bad day for an MP3 song and there wasn’t really anything else on Napster. I’ve never heard of anyone having audiobooks on there or anything, and it didn’t do movies.

Wait, you didn't have to manually unplug the modem and plug in the telephone to use it?
