web When did you get your internet connection?

[zerox 1,135]

Well I got my internet connection way back in the year 1999. I remember having an US robotics 56 modem. My dialup connection was a whooping 20-30kb/s. Since the summer of 2004 I have a broadband connection. Going from dialup to broadband was incredible.

I really don’t remember.  I remember having dial up forever. Then in 2007 we finally got DSL ran to my house (we live in a rural area we are always last to see good internet) and it was great, until the internet got even more powerful like it is today.  Then it sucked and my company just didn’t care enough to keep it maintained for us.  
 

Now I’m on satellite waiting for my power company to bring that fiber optic out here like they say they are.

The farthest back I can remember is in 2005 when my parents used dial up haha.

I remember having dial-up a long time ago, probably in 2000, though I am not sure, I know I still had my PC with a 100MHz CPU and Windows 98). Then I got a LAN connection which was awesome. Later I moved and went back to dial-up for a while, then to DOCSIS, then DSL, then fiber.

I guess when we got out first computer with dial up I was quite young then probs around 1999? or 2000

My first home internet connection was my mum and dad's portable hotspots on their phones in around 2012 (when I got my first Android enabled device), however that wasn't a consistant connection, (my video consumption on it, and my phones until I got a modern smartphone, and even past then mostly consisted of Tubidy and Vuclip .3gp files),

I later got my first consistant internet connection in 2014 (after taking about a solid month to get set up cause of our shitty ISP at the time)

Same year for me! Had dial up tho I remember the speeds being around 8-9kb/s. Our landline service was terrible. Didn't get faster internet til around 2006 with an AT&T 2G card and even that sucked.

I dunno, like 2003 or something? Visit B5 and Digimon fansites, looking up cheat codes and reading Sonic fics on FanFic.net.

Around 2006, it was really slow and I only used it once a week or so. Got a broadband connection only in 2009.

My parents had dial-up when I was growing up. It was the worst! I already got kinda addicted back when we had dial-up. It took the phone line and that was an issue.

It was sometime in the summer of 2004 that we got high-speed internet. I also got a PC in my room around that time. High-speed internet felt like such an immense luxury back then, and TBH, I'm still not over it. Lol.

I had dial-up for the first two years my family had a computer in 1998. We've had Optimum Online since 2000, and even back then we were amazed at how fast it was.

My family has had internet for as long as I can remember. So maybe 2001 at the latest. I have vivid memories of my parents having dialup AOL back in the day.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'm not actually sure, I always remember my family having some sort of internet....

[Here No Longer 5,276]

The farthest back I remember having consistent access to the internet was around 2010, though I'm pretty sure we had it a ways before then, like I'm sure now we probably had it back in the 90's. Was probably spending too much time watching TV and playing on my Nintendo DS/Game Boy/GameCube/whatever console at the time to notice.

 

Although my dad's house hasn't had internet in 2 or 3 years now.

I can't remember, but it was sometime when I was just a kid.

2008 I think, though with dial-up I didn't use it for that much.
