I used to have dial up internet, and it created all sorts of issues for me. For one, I had to use my phone line to connect, so when people tried to call me, they got a busy signal. When they finally got me, they inevitably told me I spend too much time on the internet. If that wasn’t enough to bug me, then the time it took to download web pages was. If you have ever used dial up then you know that many times you can file your fingernails, read a chapter or two of a book and go to the restroom before certain pages download. Now, I have rural broadband and my life has changed for the better. I no longer tie up my phone line for hours at a time, and web pages download so quickly I barely have time to blink.
