I'm a Zillenial and my parents were early adopters of broadband, so I was too young to remember the days when internet wasn't broadband (and my parents wouldn't let infant-me go on the internet anyway).
My family did have one holdout for AOL dial-up though-- a pair of family friends who stuck by it until 2008-ish. I remember finding it annoying and wondering why they didn't just switch over to the internet that doesn't need the phone.
They said it was less expensive, but I don't know if that was actually true.
Do you guys remember when the house first got a broadband connection and suddenly people could use the internet whenever without tying up the phone line. Nothing in life has ever felt as luxurious a life upgrade as that did.
