Wow! That's crazy late to have still been using dialup. Did they ever get better than 56k baud?
no idea, I just remember a dramatic increase in my online time around that period. Also my dad going around drilling holes everywhere so that we could run a cable to everyone's room back in the days when you assembled a PC from parts you found at a car boot sale
I remember occasionally seeing a 64k connection speed on the dialup at my parents' old place before they finally got broadband. No idea if it was accurate, as I understand 56k to be a physical limitation on phone lines, but it's what windows would claim at least.
