I honestly can't believe people still think 56k dial up was slow. I was stuck with a 300baud modem before finally 14.4k dial up. Which is to say it was a huge upgrade for the BBS's that I would frequent just to play the text based game L.O.R.D. I mean, sitting there waiting for it to display each character to form a word and then a sentence could be quite gripping at times.
In my day, you didn't complain about not being able to get things fast enough, you complained about even being able to connect to prodigy and praying that nobody would kick you offline by calling your number or a random person in your house picking up the phone.
Lol.
