posted around 2018? maybe earlier? surely not recently.
Or did anyone really use dialup in 2009?
Dial-up was still somewhat common to see in rural areas around that time, but I think most people had broadband by the mid 2000s (in the US, at least). Our family got broadband in the suburbs around 2003/2004-ish, and it was pretty new for our area at the time.
It's still "broadband" by those standards. For most people that was dsl and something in the 0.5-5 Mbps range. Like 3g speeds essentially. Average family wasn't even getting 4g speeds at home until late 2000s.
