28.8K dialup
56K dialup
3M/256K cable => something like 4M/384K cable
next we'll probably go for some cheaper DSL

Made the jump to 300 and was happy. 1200 was great. I had a terrific 2400 baud modem that cost $800 and had a large LCD display with all sorts of cool stuff displayed on it. Then I had one of the first USR 9600 baud modems when they came out (I got one for my house and one for Nyx Net's dialup bank). I went through a few more modems since then, but then I moved Nyx into my house and so I have the T1 lines going here and I've been providing 56k service for incoming calls for several years now.

Your posts always crack me up :thumbsup: EDIT: 50 baud!!! :Q

Back to the topic....1200 baud I think, going to 2400 baud, 28.8k, and over the last 2 years Roadrunner has gone from 2/384 to 5/384 for me.

Pretty much used everything in between though, just not mine generally.

BTW cassette tape drives are awesome, too :p

300 baud on Atari 800, full blown with 64K of RAM and a 90K disk drive. Life was good :D

Started at 1200 baud (remember that word? :))... Haven't thought about that in a while. Wow, I've come a long way.
