just lie to them. tell them you used to have to get the internet by plugging a cable from your PC into your TV and it picked it up over the same waves that analogue TV signals were sent out using your TV antenna, and to go to different websites you would have to change the channel on the tv to try to get a clear picture. and the reason it doesn’t work anymore is because the signals switched to digital
it sounds almost real enough to possibly be true and they might repeat it which would be funny even if you don’t see the payoff
Back in my day you had to choose between the internet or the phone because it all came along the same cables so you couldn’t make a phone call while someone was using the internet and vice versa.
remember when you had to use the remote to go to a different website? you’d have to manually key in the IP address by using the channel number buttons on the remote.
then “webrings” came along and you could just channel surf by using the channel+ channel- buttons

This was the absolute worst thing about dialup, and early dsl/cable was very expensive and how to justify for families that weren’t doing pretty well.
