I remember in 1993 my uni had no uplink. It was UUCP only (so just polled mail). In 1994 we got an uplink which was 256kbit shared between all sites. Luckily it came in to our facility first (the IT/Tech branch) and was cascaded further so we basically used it all 😜

Guess I’m a bit too young for that still lol. We got a pair of ISDN2 lines in 1994 (so technically also 256k lol) at home, but I was too young to remember that. With cable internet coming in 97, that was technically still slower than bonded isdn at the very start.
In a way I was very privileged growing up when it came to Internet. My dad’s company at the time paid good money to get all the latest (often testing phase) stuff to his house in return for being available 24/7.
