“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.

AOL became the nation’s largest internet provider by 2000 with a net worth of $125 billion. AOL merged with Time Warner, but the companies parted ways in 2009 and AOL continued making money off its dial-up internet service, Time noted.
