When Did You Start Using the Internet

[Mguy]

I remember my first modem was a borrowed one. It was a 2,400 baud internal modem. No internet then yet but lots of BBS then (FIDONET, etc) Later I got 14,400 baud external modem and then 28,800 baud. I even experimented with "shotgun" technology which uses TWO 28.8k modems at the same time to double the transmit and receive data rates, effectively running at 57.6kbaud when both modems connects at full speed with the internet provider. Downside, needs two phone lines which means I have to be doubly sure no one picks up the phone which i am online

Mukhang nabuking tayo pareng GH.

Wala na pala SCAN-International, one of the largest BBS noon. We operated dati ang *** Board for less than a year. It was fun while it lasted. Ang dami violent reaction when we opened the site. Eventually, they warmed up to it.

IIRC 1996 yung una ako mag-surf sa net.

One of the first things I remember searching for on the web were teaser images for Starcraft

This was in Manila? P50 for 30 minutes is very expensive esp in 1996 money. I remember very well that is was P1 per minute or P60 per hour. My subscription was not unlimited kasi so I had to control my internet usage. But I am guilty for using hack accounts

Intramuros area sa may PLM. I think P50 per hour nga.

Technically, it was at a library during college. We were researching for our thesis. Wala ring napala, at the time there really weren't much resources to search on, and the connection/PC was painfully slow. Me time limit pa ata :D

First home connection i got was from PhilWorld. Medyo late adopter na, considering my line of work :D i was fiddling with BBSes before that so medyo familar na ako with modems.

Going forward from my BBS days.... I had accounts with CYBERNET and BROLINE. I was still using Windows 3.11 then with Netscape Navigator and required to run WINSOCK so netscape can connect to the internet. I even had my own website located in GEOCITIES.COM ... (for those who this remember that site) and I even tried ALPHAWORLD.
