1995 or so. My first apartment had 10 mbit/sec internet. Was so cool to download anything in seconds. :)
Well.....now you're just going to have to share your time machine with the rest of us!
What? I assume you DO have a time machine, right? You clearly have cutting edge technology decades before anyone else. I think I only got above 5MB/sec internet about 5 years ago? Now it's suddenly 100MB/Sec internet, and I'm like "Ok cool........I'm still not doing anything that requires that much speed....."
I live in Sweden. It was common with ethernet connections in the apartments when I was growing up. So not a time machine. But I could be getting the exact year wrong a little bit.
And it was 10 mbit connections, so that's just about 1 mbyte / second. Still plenty fast when it arrived.
Today I have 500 mbit connection with option for 1000 mbit. It's common here.
Edit: I asked chatgpt and it was 1999 that the first apartments got 10 mbit / sec connections. So I was off with about 5 years actually.
