Because there is nothing else that can be had where I'm at. Nothing, I've looked into all options, only dial-up. I live on top of a mountain in rural Western Maryland. I can't even get Satellite because I have to many trees obstructing the view. Well, I COULd get satellite, but my regular Dish goes out every time it rains or the wind blows, so a Satellite dish connection would be just as bad, if not worse. At least with dial-up, I have a steady connection.

And no, moving is not an option, both because of money, and because I love where I live, it's one of the most beautiful, scenic places a person could see.
