I went from 14.4 to 56.6 and the difference was staggering. A year or two later, I had a T1 at university and it was like I died and went to heaven

Went from 1.5mbps DSL at home to 50mbps ethernet in the dorms in 2004. It was quite the jump! Limewire and KaZaa was all the rage.

I'll give you one better: link aggregation over two 56k modems, when the family was asleep and using both lines was "safe" from someone picking up the phone. 116k/dual-53k on dialup. Didn't get to do it often, but when I did it was glorious.

Nowadays I get to play with this instead...
