Shit. Mid nineties somewhere? Though I’d had a chance to fuck around before that
I think it was 1996.
Same here.
1991 or so by local university dialup that had a backdoor. People on local BBS clued me in.
After that backdoor was closed, a handful of student accounts kept me online until a local ISP launched.
Probably around 2015-2016, my dad gave me a profile on his macbook to play with.
1997
Somewhere around ~2008, i was around 15 that time. Had to steal wifi from the neighbors. Placed wifi antenna on the roof through roof window and had a long wire running across the house to my room.
If weather was bad i couldn’t get internet connection and every spring i had to dig the antenna out from the snow when it fell off the roof.
Got normalish internet when I got 18 and joined mobile carrier myself, that was limited to 2GB per month before speed was capped to 100kbs. That was around ~2011
Before the internet, we had FidoNet (BBS).
I think I started using the Internet with AOL and then MSN.1994 ish
BBS before that
2005 for me. But then when I moved out I didn’t have regular access until 2010 then I had an another internet hiatus until 2012.
Back in those days, you really had to put effort into having access to it.
