I'm sure there aren't that many left, but they are out there. I know of one, for example, who lives an hour from Atlanta, Georgia, who posted in 2015 of their getting under 1kBps at times. For others, usage limits may be a problem. I don't know: I'm just warning. Interestingly, Australia is more urbanised than the US. Another factor may be the politics of how broadband is being rolled out. Internet access, while good, seems comparatively expensive in the US: another issue. How awful can it be? https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/aol-dial-up-a-relic-of-the-past/ though that's probably not the best methodology. In any case, the archive.org link was a useful one as it seems to point to the 2.19.81 versions that are good. > On Thu, 23 Aug 2018 at 09:57, David Wright <lily...@lionunicorn.co.uk> > wrote: > > > > > The bad news: ~155MB download currently.
