I'll have to say, needing to deliberately "call" in for the internet was kind of nice vs today when just about everything around you is connected doing almost whatever it pleases all the time.
Although it sucked so much if you were downloading something like a large (for the time) game and had call waiting or someone picked up a phone in another part of the house. 3 hours down the drain.
In the 2000(s) messengers used to warn you not send phone numbers to your chat correspondents. now without giving out your phone number you can't use those messengers
