Guess nothing much has really changed for the polish people in here..
My family got internet so early that I dont remember exactly. I didnt care about internet before, you know, I was playing single-player games and didnt think about porn.. Anyway, it was modem on which I would pay like 1000e per one pornpage..
Btw.my family got internet as one of the first in czech republic..
When i was 6 years old, i got my first internet connection. It really sucked donkeyballs :D We had to pay for hours of using. There was telephone socket, so we had to put there cable to run internet :D. Now i got kinda shitty connection (wireless), i'd have better connection fo sho, but we moved to new house, which is situated on new housing estate, so no telephone line here :s Only wireless available :/
Got it like 3 years ago, little before I started playing :D
my first i'net experience was in 2002 !:p and the first thing i did was downloading msn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

My first internet was actually a 56 k modem, dial up connection.

1mbit, 2mbits and 2 days ago with new contract 6mbits :D

edit: no matter what speed, polish inet is shit :/
I had 14,4k dialup, don't remember the year but I know it's around the time the first Syndicate game was published. Must've been around 94/95. Then off to 33,6k modem, to one channel isdn, two channel isdn, 8/1Mbit ADSL and now 10/10 VDSL.
uhh just reminds me on Chile Brazil or Argentina ? the stupid syndicate mission where you have to protect the police chief ~~ the game raged me !

We actually had a set-top box thing which allowed us to get onto the internet for 1p a minute, and came with a shitty mini-keyboard. My mam used to count and I was only allowed to go on for an hour a day.

I remember I hadn't even known about the internet until I switched school, and I had to be shown how to use it. That was back in 2000. I started to get into computers fairly quickly after that, and saved up and bought my own from my paper round. Bought a second-hand Apple Mac, and then a second-hand PC. I got onto the internet - dial-up, obviously - with that PC and it was a few more years before our area got upgraded to broadband.

At home I'm not sure what I am on, speed-wise, but at university I've got my own 10mb connection.
5 years ago

ADSL , 4.6mbps

Since 2 years ago August telenet broadband i guess
dial up connection :)
phone couldnt be used while using inet..

My first internet was actually a 56 k modem, dial up connection.

something 2000s with dial up and now I got ADSL 12MBit
Dial-up , my dad always said wait till 20:00 then its cheaper
2002 a 55k modem and later 2004 a 8mb ISDN-connection! 2002-2004 I used it only for browsing websites, not for gaming :p
28.8 dial up modem, dunno which year it was, something around 2001 i think. i started ET by playing the demo version on a 56K modem, then when i joined a clan that wasn't enough so i bought isdn.

hahaha, now i remembered something. then we started using comms, and we always had to have 7 players for a 6v6 match. the 7th would run a TS server on ISDN using both lines :D (that would be 128k)

using adsl now
1998 dial up
1995, dial-up 14k4
56 years ago, good times, had 1000/2560 mb stonecable!

Seems like i was the only one with a decent connection back in the days =p

my first pc had a 14.4k modem but i had no phone line in my room
