Dialup Internet Access
- Generally thought of as the oldest and slowest way to get online, dialup services allow users to access the internet over a landline telephone network, using a modem.
- Still used in many rural and underpopulated areas, dialup lacks the speed and performance benefits of broadband, but is generally sufficient for email and basic web surfing.
- Most dialup internet services currently available offer bandwidth speeds of 56 kbps, or slightly lower.
