I'm not going to bore you with my first taste
there's more than enough stories here from my vintage of usenet, text-based irc and telnet. Even if I could remember accurately. (Mind you Mosaic was a fucking good browser compared to some of the shit that's been doled out since then!)

This story is about when I finally got ADSL.
For many years I lived in an area that was too far from the nearest DSLAM, had shitty copper wiring and the landline was basically dodgy.
So for many years all I could rely on was a 56k modem (eventually upgraded to V.92 then ISDN) for all my nefarious web-surfing episodes.

Now I regularly used my mums uni account (T1 no less) to download & burn/zip what I had to - bear in mind in those days a 256Mb usb key was absolute luxury. Barring those useless fucking BENQ slide-out ones which were next to useless.

We eventually moved and I got our 1st broadband account.
Ohh. The glut.

My first taste was downloading a 1Mb pic of Marg Helgenberger.
*Snap*
Like that.
Oh happy days.

Several terabytes of movies, music, tv-shows, archives, debs (as an apt mirror for more than a couple of distros) , executables, pr0n and youtube vids (amongst others) later here I am.
I regularly use over my 100 Gb. bandwidth.

Moore's Law. Pfft.

"I regularly use over my 100 Gb. bandwidth."
How do you manage that?

Ahhh, the old speed vs. capacity confusion.

It's all volume to me.
*Except when it's gain*
