Let's hear your worst dial-up internet experiences. I'll start:

Downloading a 200MB game demo on 56k. 8 hours in, at 87% completion, my mom picks up the phone to make a call. Connection drops. Download lost. No resume support.

I didn't speak to her for three days.

Downloading a Linux ISO over 3 days using GetRight. Power went out at 95%. I nearly threw my computer out the window.

Trying to view a single JPG on a forum and watching it load line by line for 45 seconds. Then it turned out to be someone's blurry vacation photo. Not worth the wait.

Getting disconnected every 4 hours because my ISP had a session time limit. In the middle of an EverQuest raid. In a dungeon. With a corpse run penalty.

The modem handshake sound at 3AM when you're trying to get online without waking up your parents. ERRR SCREEEEE KKKKK BONG BONG BONG. Stealth mission failed.
