Considering Jumping

[Peter Parker]

Well, I’m glad you’ve had your fun. Do you remember much about your Internet access from 30ish years ago?

I remember I had to install a device on the copper lines in house to separate out the DSL and voice functions to improve the signal. I don’t remember the name of the Internet provider I used back then. But I remember they, and the company I went to after them, going under. Famous name, too. They dropped like flies.

And yes, there was some provided equipment to utilize the service.

I don’t think the term “streaming service” was even in use back then. So my use of the term may be inaccurate.

Was that possibly NorthPoint DSL?

I just can’t remember. And I’ve tried Googling. Just got things like CompuServe. I used that DSL provider to access CompuServe (& Netscape, IIRC).
