I never thought to check my speed when I had a 56k modem. Interesting.

You are probably correct that I never got full speed.

Yeah, downloading on 56k was not fun. My average per song was 1 hour, which I thought was decent considering it was free. My house got an additional line just for internet.

We eventually got a coax modem, I was at high school at the time when we went high speed too. I felt like I was in the future. Lol.

What I missed was losing access to AOL sites though but now that I look back, those were kinda trash.

If you don’t mind me asking, were you on dial up, DSL, or coax?

Also Javascript too.

I was first thinking it was a ad blocker preventing static files but I think it was just a bad production push.
