The web has gotten much faster. I remember waiting around for at least 5 to 10 seconds for pages to load over 14.4K. Still, modern web sites are incredibly bloated. There was a period in the late 90's where I had an early cable modem connection (3 megabits.) All sites were still built for dialup, so things loaded at lightning speed. In general, I'd say effective speeds have remained constant since the early 2000's since site bloat has kept pace with increasing broadband speeds.
