Re: Not even dial-up

I wonder if there are still communities that don't even have local dial-up internet. Back in 98' a friend's Dad had just bought a PC, and was wanting to hook it up to the net. Any dial-up ISP was a long distance call. The next year a small local dial-up ISP setup in a near-by town that wasn't long distance. They might have cable their by now, but I doubt it.
All you can eat long distance plans are inexpensive now. Some Dial-up ISPs offer an 800 number for a price.
