What is it? I've heard a little about it. Is it legal and how fast is it?

O_o

The internet dial tone, if I am correct in what you are referring to, is an array of buzzing and crackling noises you hear when connecting through a dial-up modem. It is probably one of the slowest forms of an internet connection that is still in use. Many, many people now use broadband connections, like DSL or Cable.

Doesn't matter. If you're still on dial-up, time to upgrade

Suicide would be justifiable.

When we got rid of dial up I teared up.
