TL;DR Summary

AOL is discontinuing its dial-up internet service after 30 years, marking the end of an era for many Americans who experienced the early days of online connectivity, characterized by the iconic modem sounds. The service, once dominant with over 23 million US subscribers, declined with the rise of faster broadband options and modern web technologies, and will officially shut down in late September, leaving behind a nostalgic chapter in internet history.
