     @mattl @ernie Maybe I'll try to dig out my old WWIV Turbo Pascal source code and see if I can get it to compile and restart my college BBS.

     @samiamsam @ernie yeah that’s tough. Other ISPs exist for now but many people in the US can’t get a phone line now.

     @taatm @ernie @VioletPixel A fair chunk of rural America relies on dial up (often in combination with satellite)

     @taatm @ernie @VioletPixel yeah I used to live in rural UK and ADSL seems to be mostly ubiquitous now, albeit still pretty slow in places but still much faster than dial up.

     @mattl @ernie @VioletPixel
     Yes, I figured when I thought it. Living in a relatively small densely populated island (the UK vs the US), we tend to exclusively have no internet or broadband as the minimum.
