no idea, I just remember a dramatic increase in my online time around that period. Also my dad going around drilling holes everywhere so that we could run a cable to everyone’s room back in the days when you assembled a PC from parts you found at a car boot sale
I remember occasionally seeing a 64k connection speed on the dialup at my parents’ old place before they finally got broadband. No idea if it was accurate, as I understand 56k to be a physical limitation on phone lines, but it’s what windows would claim at least.
Wow! That’s crazy late to have still been using dialup. Did they ever get better than 56k baud?
