@sabi Ok so here's the thing
My parents had dialup up until about 2009 or so, when they got a cellular modem, which was their sole form of internet until about 2014. It was _worse_ than the dial up was, and more expensive, but we were moving a lot
However _I_ didn't get internet until 2014 when they got free ethernet, and didn't need the cell modem anymore. It would only work in one room of the house, before 8 AM, and would still only load text most of the time
I got LAN a year later, luckily
@sabi Funny thing about that free ethernet, it was a small ISP that worked with line of sight WiFi repeaters, and they needed to put a repeater on our house to reach the rest of the neighborhood. So it was WiFi _to_ our house, but we only had ethernet inside our house.
I got ethernet because they realized it was _much_ cheaper to buy an ethernet router than continue paying for the cell modem
Alas we moved and our internet isn't free anymore. We have satellite right now, but we'll have DSL soon
