Thank you RSS feed, does this actually have a direct impact on you or are you posting for the fun of it?

It's 2012, yes there's some people who still can't get broadband but they're used to making do, I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Well if they can't get online, chances are they already do.

Lies.. they have just removed the GUI tool to setup PPP, its all still doable if you know how.

People still use dial-up, surely its pretty much unusable nowadays?

Link and run *yawn*. And yes, dial-up is pretty much dead now right? Surely every website is too content rich.

"It's also still in Ubuntu, only not on the CD!"

and who cares as mobile internet is better than dial up anyway.

There is no need for dial up anymore, the speeds are to slow and it isnt supported much by isp's anymore.
