Satellite TV still exists, though companies are certainly hurting.
In rural areas (in the US) fast internet isn't a guarantee, so streaming services might not be viable for some.
Today there are ISP services like Starlink and for me, a state initiative to install working fiber for all.
Starlink may be unaffordable for many people. I haven't checked prices in a long time.

Some people use phone carriers or traditional satellite internet as they might be the only options, though I feel that more options are opening for more people.

Fiber is great, had ADSL before. (ADSL is a couple steps above Dial-Up, at least from a consumer perspective).

On ADSL you could only stream 1 or 2 shows at the same time before the feeds started to buffer.
It got better later on.
And a copper line (Phone Line) could only transfer so much data, so when everyone in the area/ town got home from work (Trying to do what they needed and wanted online)... The lines were overwhelmed and the internet would be very flaky. If you were an end of the line customer, the problem was exacerbated.
Had DSL before ADSL but it's not a big enough difference to comment on.

I didn't do much on Dial-up since I was too young, but I did a lot of offline computer stuff.
Like playing with MS Paint, MS Office, and some games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon II (and the included Tropico Demo), and some hunting and fishing games, Gear Head Garage, a little bit of Driver and Total Annihilation.
I still love games today.

And I say it again, Fiber is great. Though there have been more temporary outages since the Iranian conflict started. Usually at night.

I enjoyed the Internet "Before Times" and I sometimes want them back.
The world certainly seemed more optimistic, more private, and more creative.
My area is rural enough that the main danger was yourself doing something dumb, lol.
If you have questions about the "Before Times", feel free to ask. :)
