What I always found amazing about the internet was how quickly it became high speed. I was doing internet support back in the mid 90s supporting 14.4k (and up) dial up modems. Back then a T1 (1.544 Mbps) was so amazing - only business had them. Now there is Gig (1,000 Mbps) fiber coming in to our houses.
“Emailing my cousin and asking my mum when it would get to her and she said, ‘well, I think it’s probably already there.’ We just looked at each other like it was the most bizarre thing.”

That's 30 years ago...
remember that the fastest dial-up modems (56k) would download around 8Kb/s
