  My kids actually complained that the internet is slow when he was getting 24 MB/s on a Steam download.

  I remember images loading one line at a time and I get irritated at less than 40Mbps.

  We were also loading 30kb webpages. Try to load anything from the last 10 years over 33,600

  Limitations of available technology at the time =/= limitations generally caused by shitty ISPs and/or IT teams not maintaining their infrastructure and equipment properly.

  Dialup noises still give me tingles. Like I’m about to experience something fun, new, and crazy soon.

  Sorry but the image has no effect on me due to a lack of grating/screaming machine noises.

  I had to deal with this shit until 2007. Then we got a shitty WISP the was marginally better.

  I remember waiting half a day for a youtube video to load, then leaving the computer on until the evening so I could show it to my brother when he got home.

  Never had that because it was too expensive to be worth the trouble.
