    Man, the nostalgia is real. It was Gopher and Usenet via CIX and Compuserve for me from around '88, and eventually “proper” dial-up via Demon Internet (in the UK) in '92. 9600 baud, 14k4, 28k8, 56k and eventually dual ISDN. I still have a 28k8 modem in a drawer in my PC parts graveyard.

      Lol I remember trying to get my parents to get an ISDN line installed back in ‘95 or ‘96 - the price was ridiculous. I was stuck on 56k until 2001 when I went to work for an ISP and was able to get a 1.5M SDSL line and was fucking ecstatic. Used it to run a CS1.6 server from my closet.

      Edit: actually I did have a 1.5/128 ADSL line somewhere in there for a little bit.
