Slow medium for connecting to the Internet, which some people STILL use because:
1. They can't afford broadband (understandable, unlike the following)

I'm surprised dial-up isn't free.
an internet connection that doesnt allow the people using it to talk on the phone at the same time, if you call someones house while their on dial-up internet you will recieve a sound so horrid that it will make your ears bleed.
it sounds like a robot being tortured.
