Who still has dial-up?

Do people actually still use a dialup modem? How is AOL still even in business?

I switched to cable internet like 8 years ago.

Dialup sucks

My folks house still has it. The one thing I don't like when I visit . They live in a rural area where its about the only thing available. Not too mention they are not too computer savvy and rarely use it.

There are still tons on dialup, can you believe it? Just look at United Online (formerly NetZero and Juno) [stock symbol UNTD]. Their stock is up almost 50% for the year. They still have a huge dialup base, but they are finally moving into the broadband market.
