This is somewhat related to astronomy because if I have to go back to dial up I will no longer be able to look at all the nice images members post in Az-Observing. Less than a year ago I always had dial up. Commspeed had a special high speed offer for about $25/month. I just received, and verified with them, that they are going to a new charging tier. It will no longer be based on connection speed, but on gigabytes downloaded each month, hours of internet browsing, and number of email messages received. Up to 10G/month the charge is $44.90 plus $2 per G over 10G in a month. Does anyone know if this portends a trend that other internet providers will be following? I will being going back to dial up and put up with the inconvenience of making trips to the library to download large items, although it is not a complete inconvenience since it will get me out of the house. Being retired has its disadvantages.
