That has to be rose-tinted glasses. Networks used to be excruciatingly slow. I would walk away waiting for page loads during the dial-up era. Our expectations have simply been adjusted over time.
- jefftk 8y agoIf black-tea had a good connection at a time when the rest of us were on dial-up, and all the sites were coded expecting dial-up, they may well have seen excellent load times! (But yeah, I remember the internet being super slow. JPEGs coming down scanline-by-scanline.)
