AOL is finally shutting down its dial-up internet service
NEW YORK: AOL’s dial-up internet is finally taking its last bow.
Yes, while perhaps a dinosaur by today’s digital standards, dial-up is still around. But AOL says it’s officially pulling the plug for its service on Sept. 30.
“AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet,” AOL wrote in a brief update on its support site – noting that dial-up and associated software “optimized for older operating systems” will soon be unavailable on AOL plans.
