My first experience with an ISDN connection was mind blowing. I had only ever used analog modems prior. So I'm just expecting faster downloads for large files and pages would load faster. It was a 64k line so I was expecting it to be twice as my modem at home.
Web pages just appeared (modulo Netscape connection limitations). A fresh page load felt as fast as a cached page load on my analog modem. It was nuts.
It was most noticeable in a handful of games of Quake I played. I got to experience the joy of being a Low Ping Bastard and actually landing a few hits on people.
