The last time I used a dial-up modem was...

Right this very minute: I live in a rural location, and I'm at home.
Within the past month: I live in a rural location, but I'm posting this from work.
Within the past year: My parents live in a rural location, and I wanted to check my email while I was visiting them.
1 to 5 years ago: There was that one time my cable modem went down, and I had to use the free dial-up that came with my account to get on the internet and look up the phone number for my service provider.
5 to 10 years ago: I moved into a city and never looked back.
10 to 20 years ago: I moved into a city a while ago.
More than 20 years ago: Does anyone else remember those AOL CD's?
  I'd say it was abouY!@#*ZNO CARRIER: Shit. I guess I just hit my bandwidth cap, and now Comcast is injecting RST's into my stream.

if you tried to say watch netflix on your 300bps modem (assuming it worked) you will be better off walking to your nearest red-box and getting a CD.

I think you might still beat 300 bps if you walked to your furthest red-box.

Hmm, let's see. Assuming we're talking continental United States, furthest average walk would be maybe 2000 miles (since coastal population is higher than central). Average person walks 2 MPH, so 1000 hours each way, call it 1500 hours with sleep, or 3000 hours round trip. DVD contains 2 GB of video. 2 GB / 300 bps = 16 billion / 300 per second = 53 megaseconds = 14,814 hours. Yup, better off walking -- even coast to coast and back, with a solid 8 hours of sleep each night. :)

Why wouldn't "Right this minute!" be your choice?

Oh irony, thou cruel mistress.
