Yeah, my parents had this 56K connection in around the year 1997...Being in India, we didn't have access to broadband...And it used to take ages for the pages to load...Rather annoying at time :D

Re: When the internet was young...
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 11:14 pmI run my internet on a T1+ router. It's fastest of the fast.
NOTE: I said FAST not RELIABLE
We might be switching to dialup if our internet issues aren't ressolved (NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
