Well, we knew this day was coming: dial-up internet is officially dead—at least as far as AOL is concerned. As of September 30, you can no longer revel in the nostalgia of either the AOL Dialer software or the AOL Shield browser, as both have been discontinued alongside the ISP's dial-up service offering. AOL had originally announced back in August that it was finally ceasing dial-up operations, 34 years after first launching the service. Alongside Amazon's rival Project Kuiper (which itself was awarded $124 million), Starlink will provide satellite internet to thousands of these underserved locations. However, while fibre can deliver gigabit internet, Starlink and Project Kuiper currently only offer speeds between 100 and 400 Mbps (though both companies are planning gigabit levels for certain customers).
