In 2007? Damn I feel sorry for you
yeah....I had to earn by gigabit fiber.
Oh I got my fiber last year. But in the meantime I at least had ADSL starting 2004 or 2005. In a post-soviet nation at that
I've been using a cable modem or better since the end of the 90's.
My grandparents still had dial-up in 2016.
What made them decide to quit dial up?
They died
The company that provided service finally had a DSL option at their location. Though 2mbps/.5mbps wasn’t much of an upgrade over duplexed 56k in modern Internet terms especially since they were the furthest house from the node.
I had dial up when using the music sharing software napster/limewire but I think it was like 2002. I had moved on to just torrenting albums by 2007. 2007 seems like a meme for late adopters.
I didn't get Internet until 2011 or so in the home. Then it was dial up for another few years. There was no other options where we lived since it was in the country.
Edit: we did have a second line because landlines were so cheap
