Today Vodafone is making fuss-free internet even better

About 1000 customers were still clinging to the 56kbps service.
Vodafone will turn off its dial-up internet service on Monday after telling the service’s final 1000 customers over past the few months that it is probably time to move onto something better. Dial-up internet was the norm, if people were online at all, until about 2007. Most will still remember the distinctive oscillating tones, followed by a sound like static, that dial-up modems made when “handshaking” to establish a connection. But with a maximum speed of 56 kilobits-per-second, dial-up is about 18,000 times slower than gigabit UFB connections that are often the preferred choice of home users today.
