For years I had a four party line. In 1992 I got internet with a paid line to a city twenty miles away. I used the internet mainly at night to not disturb the other parties. I joined free republic shortly after that. Now I live in Alaska with a good AT&T internet but it was a 350mg for years. My son works for AT&T so I have it all...iPad, watch, TVs. The watch is great to call my husband when I’m stuck in the snow with my snow machine.
