When I went to university in 2003. The telephone exchange in the village my parents lived in finally got upgraded to ADSL in 2004 or 2005 I think after a grassroots ISP collected enough subscribers to pay for it (after which the national telco was happy to start offering service, screwing over the grassroots ISP)
University internet was 10 Mbps, but the year after they kicked the dorms off the school network and put us on the consumer city fiber network which was 100 Mbps. About a decade later I moved in somewhere with 1 Gbps.
And I now have 10 Gbps at home. How times have changed...
