I can remember dialing into CompuServe on my C-64 through a 1200 baud modem. After waiting for what seemed like hours, there was nothing much to look at - sure was cool, though.

300, to 1200, 2400, to 56k and every step in between. . . We always had to have the fastest as soon as it became available. . . and were disappointed when the promise didn't match the performance!

Ahh, the old sounds of dialup.

I remember jumping for joy when I connected at 50,666 for the first time. It was blazingly fast.
