I was able to convince my mum to start with DSL right away. Must have been 1999/2000. Before that I was able to at least use ISDN at my uncle‘s place. When I was spending time at my best friend‘s place, I encountered AOL dial up the first time. It was awful.

I haven't thought about ISDN in ages. IIRC I had to get a serial expansion card with a faster UART to get the benefit, which was...eh, dubious. Twice nothing is still nothing LMAO.
