Hmm, I think it was 99.

Around 2000, 56kbps modem. Internet costed 1 dollar per hour : DD

1993 using Prodigy on a 2400 baud modem. Those were the days.

~2004-5 on an eMachines POS connected through AOL. Ragequit and waited for DSL.

Early 1996. One of the first things that I did was download a patch for Front Page Sports Baseball. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world that I could actually *download* a patch instead of having to send a request and wait to receive a floppy in the mail as was the norm back then.

1995 at work with a very fast connection speed (at least T1). Then sometime later that year at home with the ever so wonderful 28K modem.

Around 2003 at work. At home I got connected on 2007.

I think sometime in 1997 when my dad got our first dial up modem

A few days before I learned how to use a shotgun.

^5 ;)

Okay, I did use internet before that sometime around '97, but once I moved into my Mom's place in '98 I had my own computer and an already somewhat dated 56k dial-up connection. Thankfully there was always time after I got home from school before she returned from work, otherwise it was "get off the damn internet, you're tying up the phone line!"

Hadn't joined the ranks of frequent broadband connection until early '07 though, and right now I probably have the worst connection I've had since then - it's quite adequate for everyday net use, but not good enough for streaming video/big downloads. I'll actually have to do something that I haven't done in close to a decade: go to the library to download the big stuff. Well, at least tomorrow I'll finally find out how good/bad our library's Wifi is.

I started using it in 1995 at school when it became available and we got a home connection in 1997. Broadband in 2000.

The broadband service was available before 2000 in our area but the ISP had to actually retrofit the cabling on the lines to our neighborhood and that took a long amount of time.

Not sure, mid-to-late 90's I think it was when my parents got me a new Windows 95 PC with an in-built 56k modem, it was a long time later when I ended up getting broadband, and even then it was pure crap. Goddamn Australian internet is the worst ever.

Think i was 12 (around 1981) on BBS. Remembered playing a fab game Baron Realms Elite - and sneaking on at night when everyone else was asleep just to play it...
