AOL 1998 Dial Up internet connection

A dial-up internet on WIN98. This is how you got internet back then. Nothing wireless. All through telephone lines.

[@curtisallred7250]

Back when you couldn't use the house phone!

This was a fast connection, sometimes it took longer or a few tries 🤣🤣

This reminds me of when i was 8 years old

[@cookmymeat]

This reminds me when I was 80 years old. I'm OLD.

[@byeimgone7867]

it surprises me how few people know what the sounds actually are. Just computers talking to each other in series of beeps and chirps instead of code.

[@RandomActivities]

It was converting digital signal to analogue signal, and back.

[@professorpenne9962]

when my parents pooled their money together to get the family computer and my dad first dialed in, it blew my mind. sounded like it was something from a science fiction movie. then actually surfing the net. cable internet was a huge upgrade but I cant deny dial up had a charm, maybe I'm just nostalgic and miss my childhood haha.

I wonder what it would sound like post connection instead of when it's dialing up just listening to each response over the internet.

[@mackenziewachter2508]

I remembered this during the early 2000's

[@geneland]

Then within 3 minutes, AOL would kick you off again! lol

[@crackpipejoe3508]

YOU HAVE MAIL!!!!!!!!!

[@BradiKal61]

Can you kids imagine a time when you WANTED to hear that YOUVE GOT MAIL? Back then BEFORE SPAM if you got mail, it was from someone you actually knew and wanted to hear from.
Today I dont even want to look at email not even the legitimate stuff.

Very creepy sounds

[@WordUnheard]

You think it sounds creepy at normal speed, listen to it at 0.5 speed.

Does this still work?

[@SinKiDzz]

Freja are you serious? Really !! Wow

[@aerotimesofficial]

Yes maybe not with AOL brand but Dial Up connections still exist for things such as ATMs.

[@xjcrossx]

Just watched a story about the Welcome youve got mail guy is an Uber driver in Cleveland. He did the voices for some people. Good ol dial up.

[@gamernomad3]

nostalgic....

[@SixDrops]

It isn't connected until ya hear the "Welcome." at the end. ;)

[@cunexttuesday2023]

And good bye!

[@professorpenne9962]

if you only heard welcome and not you got mail after, that was a bummer

[@siskavard]

"Sorry I can't come tonight, I'm going ONLINE!"

[@randomsanwhich2]

Where’s the busy tone and endless re dials

[@Delta-rj2sw]

also, the sound was recorded as I connected and added.

[@acgaming1932]

Ah sweet childhood memories
Oh wait...

[@chevfan88]

Back than busy single until connected

[@94proof92]

Damn.....got kicked out the chat room cause someone picked up the house phone🤣🤣🤣

[@jaydenr246]

My mom said “this is exactly what it was like back then” by this noise Im convinced the internet sucked back then

[@j_c_93]

Dial up was slow as hell but the internet was a cooler place. the average intelligence level was much higher

[@pepperroni4016]

It was the wild west, it was amazing. Today it's been ruined by government and big tech, spying. It's all controlled now. Not good

[@girafster]

Ahh, the sound of the future. -1998

[@AldoSchmedack]

Darn it dad I'm on the net! Get off the phone!

[@JamesJennison]

GET OFF THE PHONE! I NEED TO MAKE A CALL!
