How long have you had Broadband? 1999 for me

I live on a dirt road, 5 miles from the nearest town. I was on dialup until 2005 when I went to DSL -- which had been available for some time but I never knew it (Frontier). You'd think they would let their customers know.

Spectrum made a deal with Cuomo to bring fiber to all of NYS in 2019, so I got hooked up to that in the fall of 2019.

Not a big difference compared with DSL on the laptop, but it's better for streaming via Roku on TV, which is about all I do now.

I got it about the same time I did in the other thread about this.

what thread?

my email address ends in 2002, which is my comcast account. Before that, I had multiple ISDN lines running in parallel, and then switched to point-to-point commercial wireless (had big ass antenna on my roof). I've been working out of the house since 1997, so I'll guess that's the year, but knowing me, in all likelihood, it was 1995.

"You've got mail" .. that was the broadband back in the day :rofl:

I had DSL service (and I was at the very end of the line) until 2015. Got Wave Broadband (now Astound) since. 500meg service

what thread?

I think he means my thread about The Lung Guy urging all of us to breathe harder than we normally would.

That will easily be TTOTY. Take it to the fuggen bank! :smash:

Ha, that reminds me: I was nearly at the end also. But it was still way better than dialup. :seasix:

Got Cox@Home when it first came out in 1997. Before that I had 2B+D ISDN. And before that, starting in 1987, I had fiber Internet access at the university campus where I worked.

I was one of the very first people to play DOOM over the Internet. :D

one of the most technological states in the nation and we were only pulling around 4-5 mbps download (1.5 mbps upload) until a few years ago (from 2006 to 2022)...dial up was faster

Mid 96 I think. Plymouth Michigan was the first coax broadband in Michigan, Dearborn Heights was next where I lived.

I had the first documented affair that started online in 1995 with this little hunk. It spanned three states and 2-3 years:
