    I went from 14k to 56k to dual ISDN 128k to 1 megabit DSL in the span of two years. My dad's company paid for the ISDN lines they were like $400 a month way back when.

    It was a helluva ride.

      The first time I experienced high speed internet was at a friend's place whose dad had one for work (I forget what kind exactly), we were up all night, and I remember the moment when for the first time in my life I ran out of shit to do or look up online.

      Boy howdy, have tech companies solved that problem via endless scrolling on your feeds.
