“Showing my age here, but at work we had to take turns dialling in to get online. If we needed to send an email or look something up, we had to arrange with the head of IT to do it. If someone was online too long, they were called and told to get off.”

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.

#13 what a fake download window. downloading from a local network address, at a speed of around 60Mbit.
remember that the fastest dial-up modems (56k) would download around 8Kb/s
