[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 835801, member: 3953"] :lol: :lol: MANC :thumbsup: :D I was one of the very first subscribers to Telewest, which went on to merge with NTL, then Virgin Media, by then though it was onto the faster 56kbs modems, so it had moved on somewhat to what Manc and Ste are saying. I've used slower modems though such as the 14.4kbs my brother's mate had and other speeds probably 28.8 and/or 33.6 kbIt. It wasn't uncommon to run up a phone bill of £70 or more, because we had to dial up a server back then on the phone line. Back then, nobody here had heard of Google as it was probably still being founded and developed, so Yahoo and Alta Vista were my search engines of choice. Internet Explorer was a bit shit back then too, so Netscape Navigator was my web browser of choice. I couldn't go back to those days now technology has moved on, as they were mind numbingly slow, but because the technology was cutting edge it was exciting times knowing you were one of the tens of thousands in this country that were using it.
