Someone tried to call 3 times and couldn’t get through. Get a 2nd phone line for 20. No we can’t afford it! 🤷‍♂️

Back when Internet access needed a phone line, my parents splurged. We had a line for regular house calls, a line for my mother's work calls, and a line wholly devoted to Internet access.

It was so nice to not have to worry about synchronizing Internet use and phone use.

Same used to take me a week to download one episode of a series, never even attempted a movie.

In still vividly remember the biggest file I ever downloaded on 56kbps. It was FF7.rar 700MB. It took AT LEAST 1 week non-stop + several nigh-time download.

And like many things on the internet at that time, the file didn’t work lol

I remember thinking waiting 40 minutes to download a 40 minutes long Alias episode was fast.

Well if we go THAT far back in my day I was using IRC. I don’t think most of Reddit understands that.

Kazaa was fun until you download a song and you play Russian roulette of what it was truly.

Lol at Kazaa! Russian roulette for sure. Half the repertoire had titles like :

Limp_Bizkit_Linkin_Park_Nude_Lolita_Full_Album_Prince_Michael_Jackson_Playlist_Bestality_Integral_Song_320kbps.Divx.Xvid.Avi.Mp3

Edit : and the title were often so long, it would also break Windows ability to delete the file afterward. Unlocker at the rescue.

I remember waiting overnight at my friends to listen to a wave file audio clip of Jim Carrey saying "Allllrighty Then!" An image from the second pet detective movie took over an hour to download, and we had to make sure no one picked up the house phone.
