I've watched this video before, but I didn't notice the subtitles!

YouTube - Dial up Modem Sounds from 300 bps to 56K

#Modem

Yesterday #AOL finally shut down #dialup. No more bee-bzz-brr-chrrr.

In 2019, 265,000 people in the US were still using a dial-up connection¹ (at 56 kbps!). Before the shutdown, this number was in the low 1000s².

What were they doing? An average website probably takes 10 minutes to load with a modem. Still eternal-septembering the #usenet? ;)

I'd be interested in numbers from other parts of the world.

AOL stellt nach über 40 Jahren den Dial-up-Internetdienst ein
AOL hat seinen legendären Dial-up-Internetzugang endgültig abgeschaltet. Mehr als 40 Jahre prägte der Dienst die Internetnutzung und war für viele der erste Kontakt mit der Online-Welt.

Das Ende einer Ära bei A

For those of you old enough to remember dial up internet connectivity with modems over analog telephone lines, then this episode of 'The Serial Port' might be of interest:

https://youtu.be/LZ259Jx8MQY

They investigate Multilink-PPP to see what speed improvements are possible when multiple individual analog modems connection are combined into one overall connection.

They then attempt to see how many simultaneous PPP sessions over multiple modems are possible and what speeds might be achieved! There appears to be no documentation on the upper limit for Multilink-PPP.

Can they stream YouTube 144p or 240p video over an analog connection? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Earlier episodes cover the telecoms hardware in more detail so don't miss those if that detail floats your boat 😁👍
