my grandma has a house phone

my grandmas internet: *DIAL UP NOISES*

My mom said we had dial up when I was little, but I was too young to remember it. By the time my memory kicks in, we had cable internet. I remember thinking the DSL at my mom's work was slow, but even that was fast compared to dial up. I am overall glad to have had broadband throughout nearly all of my life. I get 10 free hours of NetZero a month and if I have access to a landline, I love to dial in and see how slow websites are over dial up. Nowadays there is not only cable but also fiber in a lot of my area, which I am thankful for living around one of the larger cities in my rural state.

watching this video while throttling to 56k

2:45 That’s about as real of a picture of a satellite you will ever see. It’s all CGI and cartoons.

I was on dialup and there’s no way it took a minute and a half for search results. Maybe 10 seconds.

come back!

2:43 12 hours? I know your exagerating because your parents would not allow you to block up the phone line for 12 hours, nevermind the huge cost for a 12 hour phone call

There might be people who wondered how we could bear with using the Internet at dial-up speeds. Well when dial-up was king, Internet content was very low bandwidth. Your typical webpage is basically all text with a couple of small low-res graphics. Photos were a rarity. Online gaming consists of MUDs (multi-user dungeons) which is all done in text (with sometimes brilliant ASCII art to set the mood) The problem is that the Internet content scaled up with the availability of broadband, so now the simplest website will take ages to load, and oftentimes the ads alone will choke the connection. So for those who are left behind without broadband access, the Internet has become unusable. Chrome used to have a low data mode for people with slow connections, but they dropped that feature and it's no longer available.

We need more videos,,u explain nicely

The good thing about dial up is that when you decide to go to a website and then it starts loading for a very long time, you can have enough time to do other things like making dinner spending time with friends or family or even cleaning up the house to name a few things!

whoa dude did you know like, I lived in that EXACT house in your video dude? Whoa we must have a connection of some sort that’s so rad dude

It would be funny if Firefox had a dial up emulation at browser start and speed reduction fown to V92 Modem ISDN speed. 😊

Even these days in 2024, if you're on a 5g cellular data plan that has a soft cap, the speed is reduced to 120 kilobytes per second or essentially twice the speed of dial up

Amazing

My internet fluctuates. Sometimes it'll be in bytes per second, a lot of the time it'll be in the kilobytes, just like using dial-up. Let us say our little mobile hotspot is mediocre. Lol, I was downloading 60 megabytes and it took over 14 minutes and it said that to download 600 megabytes was going to take over an hour, like multiple hours. Well, we do use a mobile hotspot that uses mobile data, so...

here is a fact,the sound the computer makes for dial up is your modem chatting what it can do to your isp,then the modem and isp plan how much data,and then check the phone line,then send what you were loading

when u gonna upload again 🥲

Here in Post-Soviet Russia, we had the other stuff in mind, this one was called "lokalka". Basically, some computer nerds (usually a bunch of people in their early 20s living in a single or neighboring apartment buildings) decided: wouldn't it be nice if we'd arrange a local network, of course, with a fair share of services within it, like, file server, message board, game servers, probably something else, and let anyone interested use it, usually for some kind of favor. Sounds boring, but some people who actually been there these times had A LOT of fun with them (as long as maintainers knew what they were doing, which they were not sometimes).

I grew up across the border in the burbs of Northern Illinois!❤

XD im doing now experiments to watch this video on dial up on 144p its work with some lags:D

bro u don't remember the dial up the dial up sound played just when u connect to the internet , not every time. if that modem noises annoy u , can just press mute on the dial up modem

Dude is 2G faster than dial-up? that was my first internet on a cell phone?

We managed to score a 150 GB per month data cap with our satellite internet and STILL went over two or three times a year. The arrival of fiber internet was 100x more bandwidth and a 100x lower latency; that meant games could update in minutes rather than hours, and multiplayer games could be competitive with the lower latency. While not as big of a leap as dial up to satellite, fiber was a big enough improvement that I'll never consider living somewhere without a wired connection

im watching this video but i have satelite internet 😅

The library had a number you could call through your modem and it would bring up this text based interface where you can search for books in their catalog to request one to be sent to your local library branch, or you could renew books you had previously checked out. Eventually it was replaced with a website, but for years you could use the text interface (I think it was telnet). I still remember some of the commands, like "f su science" would find books about science, "f au clemens samuel" would find books by Samuel Clemens, and "f ti enders game" would find that particular book by title!

I remember downloading a 200MB game development tool in the early 2000s and it literally took all day. Back then you'd use a download manager so if your mom picked up the phone you could resume the download later. Now I download 1GB game updates in minutes!

*sniffle* come back!

Try using internet on the 90s

Ded channel

and Lord help you if you didn't have a "phone splitter" plugged into the phone jack and someone called while you were online with dial-up

it didn't had dial up but i remember that even after this era internet was still slow i couldn't watch a TH-cam video without it immediately begining loading for 5 minutes then 2 seconds after load again for 5 minutes then the quality of gets worst and 1 minute later is loading again

So here’s something… dial up internet still exists today! Just the other day, I got my ps2’s modem to connect to a server, but there’s nothing to do, because ps2 servers aren’t up anymore.

What about DSL

Aerial fiber runs along the same power lines FYI

dead channel welp

I Have Charter Spectrum Wi-Fi IT'S FIBER OPTIC!!!

I have a certain fondness for dial-up, noisy as it was. We got our start with dial-up and when our relatives came by and made some noise, the phone would lose all cohesion with what it was getting, so gramps would have to start all over as garbage filled the browser's window. We soon got broadband and I toasted the family laptop playing Shockwave games on the daily.

How old are you?

I remember dail up I was born in 1993

Sounds like you grew up using dial-up past when most people had already stopped using it. It was driving me crazy even by 2004. Hughesnet is the worst and the data limits were so low it was almost criminal. It was 250 MB/day at one point when I was looking at getting it. Satellite sucks compared to cable or fiber, but without the data limits it would have been a usable alternative to dial-up.

nice animation love it

Thank You for the Memory🖥️ I just finished watching this video with my 12 yr-old Son🤓

I grew up with dial-up, but I'm 30, so when we had it the internet was boring for kids anyway, and we didn't have to use it for homework or anything. And then... Ask Jeeves arrived!

This is awesome

A Google search did not take 90 seconds…. Maybe 30 at most. Because sites were not massive web applications. They were just HTML

Can someone help me write about this? I really need it for my school,im the one to report what dial up is and i suck at explaining so...please?

Even though I didn’t have dial up, I still relate because of our terrible internet. It took about 5+ hours to download minecraft alpha or something, and it took 4 MINUTES to boot up. The internet was pretty slow but, some of the site’s data were sent to RAM so if you used a website more, the faster it got. All of that pain, when we realised that hard drive C: was busted and ran at full speed ALL THE TIME….

Main thing that makes the internet slow about it is the modulate demodulation the modem does to turn the data into audio tones tbh
