How was it working for an ISP? I could imagine crazy weird edge cases like this one
- slyall 2y agoIt was an interesting job. Things were evolving fast and the Internet had only really just gone mainstream. Also lots of small companies rather just just Telcos. Some wild West stuff like the time our CEO came in and demanded we block another company because the other companies CEO had pissed him off. Back then we were still running things ourselves like Email, Usenet, customer Homepages, FTP servers, Software mirrors. The technologies were also a bit weird, we had Satellite Internet and sold customers a cards and a dish to use it. We also used the same tech from broadcast towers in cities. We even used Satellite to move our own data (one way) because it was cheaper than undersea cables for a while.
