Blocked by robots.txt. I actually cannot remember my first BBS account from like 1989/1990.

Yes I was an AOLer back in the mid 90's, but hey, it was only for two years and then I went to the local cable modem. Whoo, 512k down, 128k up!

 

[Blayze]

Prodigy in 1995, said its blocked by robots.txt.

I had an AOL account, too. There was a time when AOL was among the best services to have like Prodigy and CompuServe, before attempting to go mass public.

Earthlink. Had something earlier when I was a kid (early 90s) but can't remember.

Since others posted AOL, I'm going with first high speed connection.

I had a CompuServe, Prodigy and AOL account (not necessary in that order) back in the early 90's. What is funny is that AOL doesn't show before 1996. Anyone remember AOLHell? Those were the day of the early Internet and my youth.

Someone mentioned @home, which was actually my first cable modem provider. They were faster than the Comcrap I have now and MUCH better customer service..lol. Too bad that shithole Comcrap bought them out.

I dont even recall the name of our first ISP. It was some dinky little local dial up whose main selling point was they had just upgraded from 9600 to 14400. But that called for a price premium and was not available to all customers.

I do recall using Gopher on it.

 

[Anubis]

to be honest i dont even know if my dial up ISP even had a home page

humm this might be it
