When Did You Start Using the Internet

[_Cathy_]

I got my internet connection around 1996 and it costs P1 per minute! Unlimited was more or less P2000 per month and the ISPs that I remember were Infocom and Skyinet.

The first time I ever experienced getting connected was through BBS around 1995 but I found it too complicated

When was your first online experience?

Mods, sorry, this is supposed to be at the Technology Sub Forum.

i started using internet way back 1996. we had a term paper research and our prof wanted footnotes sourced from the internet. i think it was P50 per hour or 30 mins.

year 1999 dial up pa kami nun, ung modem naka share sa fax machine, minsan nakakalimutan na shared sa line kaya pag meron nag e-mail e naiingat namin ung handset kaya na cut ung connection sa email.

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
