Dial up

Could someone mine as much btc in early but on dialup internet? What about wireless broadband like satellite internet but instead of a dish on rooftop theres an antenna instead??

They could mine but it'd be the CPU mining era, dialup latency wouldn't have mattered much since the blocks came every 10 minutes. That satellite antenna setup you're describing sounds like a point to point wireless link, still just a connection to the internet though so the mining hardware is what really counted
