Point of History:
When we, The World, first began allowing the general public onto the
internet in October 1989 we actually had a (mildly shared*) T1
(1.544mbps) UUNET link. So not so bad for the time. Dial-up customers
shared a handful of 2400bps modems, we still have them.
* It was also fanned out of our office to a handful of Boston-area
customers who had 56kbps or 9600bps leased lines, not many.
