Spot on this is normal. I work in the financial services sector and stuff still arrives on dialup and ftp from mainframes regularly in all sorts of odd formats. SOAP is what is in the executive bathrooms and JSON is the cleaner's name and that is it :)

I ordered a part at the local franchise of a major auto parts place (I forget which one). The guy acted a little embarrassed as we stood there listening to the dial-up modem connect to place the order with the corporate system. That was in 2012 when even the small corner bookstore down the road had free wifi.
