    2002~2003 We got a glorious “high speed cable internet” of 1mb when we were kids. My mom got pissed off that we were waking up at 4 am to play Tibia on school days and hired it. In my country, dial-up was free before 6 am and past midnight, and after 2 pm past saturday, so we had to play while it was free. She got really mad at us, but instead of taking the pc away, she realized that the game was helping us learn English and decided to hire cable internet. I bet my home was one of the first ones in my city to have “”“good”“” internet back then. None of my peers at school had it until a couple of years later.
