Your internet connection speed

[oj88]

naalala ko noon ang top of the line telephone modem 56kbps hehe. ang isang mp3 na 3mb pag malas ang connection inaabot ng oras haha

56k was actually state-of-the-art, when you'll often only get V.34 (28.8k or 33.6k), at best, with the crappy analog lines we had.

I started with a 2400 modem, then 9600, then spent the longest time on 14.4k. It took us a while to get to 56k because of the then competing standards; K56flex and X2. The two later agreed to be inter-compatible and came up with the V.90 standard.

Towards the tail end of the dial-up era, I snagged a US Robotics Courier V.Everything... considered to be one of the more premium modems of the time. A year or two later, broadband hit critical mass and the rest was history.

I still have the USR. It's dead tech but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

While decluttering an aunt's house, we came across a P100 dial up prepaid card that gave 20 something hours internet, still in its wrapper, unopened.

We all had a laugh remembering those days when your email took minutes to load, and Youtube buffered every few minutes or so at 360p resolution.

ISP Bonanza? Blast? Remember yung hinihintay mong matapos yung niloload mo tapos biglang may mag-aangat ng telepono.
Or free internet kapag 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

Grabe puyat dyan sa free Internet sa madaling araw. Bibili ng scratch card bago umuwi ng bahay galing trabaho.

Ung bago kong kabit na globe plan 1799 200 Mbps with WiFi 6 modem bumagal the past few days to 70 Mbps. Ang nakapagtataka kanina sa phone nung technician lampas 200. When 2 of my phones and 1 laptop was getting 70 lang din. Nung nilagay sa LAN ang laptop nag 200, so we thought na kailangan mag disconnect then reconnect sa WIFI. It worked, Less than 1 hour now since umalis ung tech, balik 70 ako [emoji24]. Anyone experienced this? Baka may nakaka alam ng problem.
