1995. 10Mbit PC connection to university network (this is England).

Trumpet winsock.

Connection via JANET links to USA were shite. Get your webbrowsing done 
before the afternoon when all the americans got up. after 2pm or so, no 
chance.

No Google - had to use things like Yahoo (spit), Altavista (quite good 
for its day).

Really hard to find stuff. Downloading anything big took hours/days.

Home internet was crappy modem. Dialup tones. Flaky connection.

Later, ISDN at 2 x 64kbits, always on. Seemed like paradise. Ran my own 
email server from home. Booted by Plusnet (the bastards). Went to Demon 
Internet.
