www.lockergnome.com lockergnome.net Applegeek, a member of the LockerGnome community, asks: "What Internet service was available at your time?" What was Internet service like before the days of broadband? 56k dial-up connections are blazingly fast in comparison to what was available during the early 90s. One very popular modem speed that existed for quite a long while is 2400 baud. To compare, a 2400 baud modem was capable of speeds up to 14400 bps (bits per second). A 56k modem is capable of speeds of up to 203200 bps. A modern broadband modem running at 10 megabits per second breaks down to roughly 10485760 bits of data every second. To say we've come a long way in data transfer speeds in the last 20 years would be an understatement. What about you? What were connection speeds like on your first modem? lockergnome.com http
