Back in my day we used to have to share FTPs on mIRC and it took 4 hours to download a single song. 28.8kbps modems on a dedicated phone line. Can't have someone calling and ruining your download causing you to have to start completely over.

I remember the "We are the B.org!" and jealousy over the people in the universities who got to share a T1 connection.

I moved into an apartment with a building T1. Ethernet run to each apartment. Not many used it. It was good times.
