    First accessed the Internet from local Cyber cafe, some 10 years ago.

    Then, used netkracker ISP (now defunct), followed by Sify Online on 56K dial-up at my first home PC. Finally made the switch to 2 MBPS ADSL some 4 years ago.

    Year 1997, grown to be so much faster (therefore much more enjoyable) since then.

    11 - 12 years ago via dial-up. Made me think this did, it's been so long and so many changes on the net.

    <rant>
    Back then I signed up with AOL on a local rate number (UK) and geez it was hard as you were cocooned inside their browser, hosting (my 1st site was with hem at it was glitter and huge graphics), web front with message boards and AOL keywords (I could never remember any of the), it was actually awful.

    Then I took the brave step and signed up with an ISP that basically gave you nothing so had to flee the nest in the nude into the big www .. I actually felt liberated lol :)
