I feel dial-up may still be used when faster internet connections are down for some reason.

Given how heavy the internet is these days, I doubt it be any faster.

I think dial-up may only be good for sending text messages, and it is not much faster these days.

[Skeithex]

text based emails would work best with dial, so long as no attachments added or images.

Low quality MP3 audio files which are a few minutes long maybe able to download to a computer at an acceptable speed.

[Skeithex]

128kb mp3 files could be downloaded like that, but still take an hour.

I think people used to use 96 Kb WMA audio files fo share online because they are small in filesize, and the quality of the audio is okay.
