People should not be on dialup anymore and I find it annoying that some people are still on it.
When sections of areas don't have any other choice - my dad lives in a community on 10 acres - he does not have TW cable (they want everyone to pay multi-thousand dollars to run the cable and keep the service for x years), he is not going to take out a bunch of trees just for satellite (part of the reason they live there is the trees), to far for DSL, only IDSL/IDSN are alternatives but the cost is wayyyyyy to high for what you get.
the ONLY reason they want to go to something other than dialup (or need to) is the heavy flash on web sites and they would like to be able to download kids pictures.
Do not let it bother you - there is no reason for it to bother you. There are a ton of legit reasons people are still on dialup and a large part of it is lack of anything else for a reasonable amount of money.
