Older generations remember the sound of dial-up internet from the 90s and early 2000s, but what was once the soundtrack to an era is coming to an end.

On Tuesday, Sept. 30, AOL will discontinue its dial-up internet, the provider stated on its website .

"This service will no longer be available in AOL plans," the company stated. Because of the discontinuation, "the associated software, the AOL Dialer software and AOL Shield browser, which are optimized for older operating systems and dial-up internet connections, will be discontinued."

The company says on the page that the shutdown follows a routine evaluation of its products and services.
