For sure, I definitely recall how space constrained things felt back then. Still, five megabytes of traffic per day doesn’t feel like much of an allowance, even back then. I guess it was really just intended for text-only personal pages. I wonder what kind of hardware their web server was hosted on… I bet you’re definitely right about my ISP being on a T1. What was bandwidth on those, 1.5 Mbps? I don’t blame them for kicking me off either.

How many pages that weren't mostly text were around on the web in 1995, really? FWIW around that time I was still using a BBS, and that place had a download limit of one 3.5" floppy (1.44 Mb) per day per user.

  The first video I remember watching on the internet was someone pouring liquid oxygen on a grill and the melt down from it. I'm pretty sure that was 96ish era and would have had to have been a pretty huge file for the time. Was on a 64k line and not dial up.
