vmaxphil Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 my parents have been using dial up for the Internet for the last few years and it has stopped dialling out, am I right to think that bt has stopped the dial up service?, I know they could go broad band but they are in their 90's and not into technology and it's been like giving a hand grenade to a 5 year old for the last few years. so any thoughts on this would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Dial-up, truly nostalgic and bought a tear to my eye. No matter how much technology has changed I still fondly remember back to those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehb102 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 my parents have been using dial up for the Internet for the last few years and it has stopped dialling out, am I right to think that bt has stopped the dial up service?, I know they could go broad band but they are in their 90's and not into technology and it's been like giving a hand grenade to a 5 year old for the last few years. so any thoughts on this would be appreciated BT stopped doing dial up last year. I'm surprised they haven't been cut off before now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23877364 You can get dial up from PlusNet according to the article.
