Honestly, not that many people had modems.
- jorts 1y agoIn the late 90s to 2001? Many people were still using modems at that time. Cable or DSL wasn't even an option for a considerable percentage of the population.
- yeasku 1y agoIn 2000 6% of the population had access to internet. In 2002 I was woking making webs and setting up linux servers and I did not have internet at home.
- macNchz 1y agoThis is pretty location specific—in the US 42% of households had home internet in 2000. https://www.statista.com/statistics/189349/us-households-home-internet-connection-subscription/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/189349/us-households-hom...
- yeasku 1y agoThat web is not a good source.
- NicoJuicy 1y agoYes it is. Low Global Penetration: Only 361 million people had internet access worldwide in 2000, a small fraction of the global population. Specific Country Examples United States: The US had a significant portion of the world's internet users, making up 31.1% of all global users in 2000. Its penetration rate was 43.1%.
- numpad0 1y agoNot still using, flat out modemless. Lots of guys got their hand on a mouse for the first time only after Windows XP launched. Which was after the collapse.
- yeasku 1y agoWindows 95 didnt even have Internet by default. It had the Microsoft network or whatever it was called.
