You’re lucky it was only a few months. I think it took until 1999 or 2000 for my cable isp to subnet their entire /16 so that you weren’t flooding the entire city with broadcast packets, getting random windows messaging service messages, etc. That said, it was super nice to open Quake 3 and be able to plan LAN mode with anyone in town.
