2012!?
Holy Smokes!
I thought I was late by 2005.
Stop?
screeching telephone noises
I just flirted with your modem.
I hope you use Zmodem so we can pick up where we left off if we lose our connection.

Somewhere around 2005
Early 2000s , xp was still out and you wore an onion on your belt as that was the style at the time.
2002/2003
2001/2002 I believe we got DSL.
2004 or 2005, because my mom started working from home and got cable. Once I left home, it was fiber pretty much everywhere except the year or two I used DSL. I’m currently on a weird fiber backed Ethernet network (Ethernet to the home), and we’re rolling out real fiber over the next couple of years.
March 2000. Bigpond Cable. Such a step up in speed (although I can’t remember what that initial cable speed was) and suddenly we were always connected.
I had a faster connection than anyone I knew at that time :)
And you could play Ultima Online faster than anyone connected. You’d get on top of your steed, and run off 3x faster than anyone else. Then they’d be like “HEY! HE’S CHEATING SOMEHOW!!!”
No bitch. I just got DSL!
2002~2003 We got a glorious “high speed cable internet” of 1mb when we were kids. My mom got pissed off that we were waking up at 4 am to play Tibia on school days and hired it. In my country, dial-up was free before 6 am and past midnight, and after 2 pm past saturday, so we had to play while it was free. She got really mad at us, but instead of taking the pc away, she realized that the game was helping us learn English and decided to hire cable internet. I bet my home was one of the first ones in my city to have “”“good”“” internet back then. None of my peers at school had it until a couple of years later.
2001, when I got DSL.
I got ISDN from work in 1995. MSN was my ISP for some reason. It was glorious! In FPS shooters I had a 30 ping while everyone else had 200. I was a beast !

1999 - DSL After that, cable was pretty much everywhere I lived.
Pretty early on. 2000? Cable Internet was only slightly more expensive and it made so much more sense, given dial ups limitations.
2008 I think.
