Remember when AOL was like the only way to get online?

[Tupin]

I also remember when we got a computer that had a 56K Modem built in, I thought it was amazing. We also had that computer installed with a CD burner, which I thought was really cool.

Of course, none of that could compare to the day we got DSL. I was so glad I didn't have to get offline when someone was on the phone or take two hours to download everything.

So yeah, when did you first get AOL before abandoning it?

[えっちーせんぱい]

2003 I think, we got rid of it because they charged us 89 dollars for some reason, which we never paid.

[Gwen Khan]

yes, it was the first time I ever used the internet, used one of those disks that came in the mail, took forever to load

Got it around 2001 and left it that same year. I remember how long it took to download games. Oh god, it took like 12 hours to download something that's usually like 1 hour.

Oh, we still pay for AOL because my parents are used to it.

So we pay for basic Internet AND AOL.

Remember the 4 billion CDs for free internet they used to send you?

Remember the 4 billion CDs for free internet they used to send you?

Remember they actually worked?

[Syncopathic]

2001-2005 was all AOL.
I hated how long it took pages to load, download something, what I hated the most was
when I was midway through a download, my mom would make me get off because she needed the phone.
I was so happy when I got DSL.

[Super]

AOL was my first ISP.

I intercourse ing hated it.

[Daft Pink]

AOL was my first ISP.

I intercourse ing hated it.

I think it was pretty much everyone's first ISP.

[Totla]

The only time I used AOL was at my friend's grandparents house (he was with them on weekdays), and we intercourse ing hated it.
There was dial up at my grandparents house for a while, but they got RoadRunner eventually.
And here at my house I've always had RR.

[Kilroy]

Since AOL and Roadrunner are like bestest buddies, my mom uses the AOL explorer thing. You know, AOL minus all the poop that isn't a web browser.

[Riosan]

I used some local dialup ISP until like 2 years ago. I switched to Bellsouth for like a week, and it was terrible. The connection crashed every 20 minutes, it was impossible to do anything, because I had to restart to get it back up and running. So then I switched to Roadrunner, and now it's all good. <3

[sonicdude164]

Yeah, I remember that. It was really annoying until we finally got our first cable modem.

[ME86]

Hm, I think we got it in 2002? We killed it in 2004.
