First *broadband* connection you got?

[Mihai]

Mine was a 128Kbit Cable line.

I'm still on dial-up and it's 2 Mbit

[Extraterrestrial]

Mine was 256kb and i was very happy that i have this overwhelming speed compared to dial up

[Owyn]

my friend got 512 kbps and was so happy about it so i'd thought about getting an internet too and got 1mbps adsl that time *_* omg so long time ago so low speeds

[anon]

I think everyone should write also when did they get it? I got it 2003.

2004 here!

The thing was a spaceship back then. Most of my friends didn't even have a computer at home

mine was 512 kbps from dialup , so it was a huge leap at that time . you could not imagine how much happy i was seeing download speed reach 60 KBps when the maximum i saw was 6 KBps

Your old line had a speed of 6 kilobits per second, i.e. 0.75kB/s? That must have been exasperating

[Owyn]

i even managed to keep a screen of my dial-up

Broadband arrived on late 2000 in my city, but I couldn't subscribe until 2005, when they made it available to my neighborhood. So it was 4 years of waiting and using friend's connection.

2003-2004.
I think it was something between these two years.

20/1 MBs.
Only two years ago.

[dreamer]

and up until 2 years ago you didn't use the internet?
or even worst had 56K modem?

[Grambo]

In the nineties I had internet at school.
From 1999-2007 I didn't have internet.

well thats a massive jump and Im sure ur very happy compared to getting others low speeds, ur plan speed is maybe 20/1 but is that the real speed ur getting?

[Grambo]

Your comment made me look at my 1st post.
The speeds I meant are 20 / 1 mb.
Sorry about the confusion.

Changed my ISP not long ago.
I have better upload now.

those figures are drool worthy
