“You couldn’t actually call someone while they were using the internet.”
“I remember my mum began to hate the internet because of this. She has always loved to burn up the phone lines talking to fam. Then me and dad started using the computer and hogging up the phone line.”

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
