Sure, here's what I found:
*Physical Size of the Internet (1995-2000)*:
- In 1995, the Internet had a worldwide user base of less than 40 million⁸.
- By 2000, there were 361 million users worldwide⁸.
- In terms of websites, there were 9,950,491 websites in 2000⁹.
*Internet Bandwidth (1995-2000)*:
- The average internet access speed in 1995 was 24 kbps².
- By 2000, the average internet access speed had increased to 1,116 kbps².
- In terms of telecommunications capacity, it was 2.2 optimally compressed exabytes in 2000⁶.
*Fastest Internet Links (1995-2000)*:
- In the early 1990s, the fastest available modem was capable of transferring data at a maximum speed of 14.4 kilobytes per second (kbps)³.
- By the late 1990s, broadband had emerged, offering a maximum theoretical data transfer speed of 512k per second³, which was over nine times as fast as a 56k modem.
