A closer look
Some people simply refuse to let the 90s die. Despite broadband, fiber optics, and 5G cellular data being available globally, AOL still reports hundreds of thousands of active subscribers paying upwards of $15 a month for literal dial-up internet access. Whether it's elderly people forgetting to cancel a 25-year-old auto-draft, or rural users in extreme telecom dead zones, there is still a demographic willingly listening to the screeching modem tones of 1998 just to check their email.
